She should bounce back pretty quickly. But a peace offering of tuna or prawns from daddy wouldn't go amiss, I'm sure...

Quarterly meter reading for gas & electricity submitted to Bulb. As usual i got asked to confirm if the gas reading was correct as it was the same as the last one (I only have gas for heating and it's not been needed yet) and a later follow up email sying my account is £xx.xx in credit - do I want to reduce my payments? Never had that with my previous suplier - if my account was in credit, they always wanted to increase my payments.

And this is why I dislike doing the dusting. Trying to do this lot without breaking off another mirror or wiper is a bit of a pain

Is that "Emmerdale" beyond the 24 car?

As the DVDs are filed alphabetically, anything Emerdale (if I were to purchase such a thing) would have been behind the number 50 Ueno Clinic Le Mans winning McLaren. The number 24 Gulf Mclaren is in front of Minions through to One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest

Is this any better? OK neither are purple or the correct model for you but it's all I can do. As a 1/12 model and 40cm long, the XJ220 is a bit large to have on display!

Yup, it's a start!
I've actually got both of those (except my XJ220 is burgundy), along with the #61 Castrol IMSA car, and the #33 Silk Cut Le Mans car from '91.

At the risk of this turning interesting, the original McLaren F1 & GTR variants are my thing - I have another couple of 1/18 road models and 4 x 1/43 scales models in the living room!Yup, it's a start!

Hmm, my collection is more eclectic. Admittedly a lot of it was bought for me (I was a schoolgirl when the bulk of it was put together), but mine is mainly 80s F1 and Group C cars, plus some Warwick-related bits.

My name is Jenkins and I'm an anorak. My 1/43 1980's F1 models (cheap Onyx versions of midfield runners) were a victim of the clearout during the lockdown as they were taking up storage space. I still have a 1/18 scale Michael Schuacher Ferrari & a Damon Hill Williams on my bedroom bookcase, plus all 4 variants of the Mercedes CLK GTR (1/18), Audi R8, 2 x Audi R8Cs and a Panos GTR (1/43) in the living room and 4 Mercedes DTM models on a windowsill in the hall!Hmm, my collection is more eclectic.

I now return you to the normal level of mundanity & bin collection.

Is there anyone you can leave the dusting to?

Only my sister as part of an inheritance. And she'd more than likely sell or bin them rather than do the dusting
