You most certainly are. Quite frankly, I am not sure how us womenfolk control ourselves around you all.

I am.

Henry was 1yr old on Saturday.

This photo of him was taken by the RSPCA where I got him a year ago today.

During the weekend visit to my in laws.We removed a carbon monoxide sensor.My mil said it was beeping every min and had been for three days.We took advice from the British Gas call centre.They will be sending out a replacement first class.We were instructed how to take if off the wall,remove a label find a pin,and place said pin inside a slot on the side
We have brought the offending article home,to dispose of it at our local tip.This morning the mil rang again,she can still hear it beeping,no you cannot,we have it.Phone call ends,we both go out for a meal.While we are out another call is picked up on our answering machine.They have located the beeping noise.It is the original sensor left on a shelf in the utility room by the gas engineer.Who put the new one in when the boiler was replaced.Oh he forgot to take it away,it seems the one we now have is ok till 2023,well it was.So they are covered till the replacement comes this week.

Just changed the near side anti-roll bar drop link on my car. It's only been on about 6 months and it's started rattling. These things never last, and it was supposed to be a decent one. Ordered some more this morning from Euro Car Parts and they delivered this afternoon - wow. Exactly the same manufacturer as the one that's come off (didn't know it was the same) - hopefully it will last longer. The garage charged me about £80 to change both last time - I left it to them as the parts had been on a few years. As this one had only been on 6 months, it came off with no trouble. £15 part !!

That's one of the things my 10 year old Citroen failed it's last MOT on, I decided to buy a new car instead of putting £15 parts on the old one

It depends upon how bad they go. My wife's had 3 sets in 17 years. Mine is on set 4 now. Mine hadn't deteriorated, but there was a slight knock going over speed bumps, annoying. They aren't easy to get at and require angle grinding if they have been on a few years. Fortunately these came off. State of the roads.

Where can you buy a new Citroen for £15? Does it come with a free servicing deal?

It comes with a lot of things, moss growing on the windows, a broken boot lock, and aircon that only blows warm air

...a bargain at £15

I'd have taken £10

Another one of cute little Henry. Last one honest.
