It rained overnight and there was another light shower on the ride to work this morning. Opened up the office to find a lorry driver stood outside wanting his paperwork processing so not even a chance of a cuppa before beginning work. Non stop since.

It's going to be one of those days!

I had to replace an energy saving light bulb on our landing last night . It was one of those that is supposed to last for years and years. It didn't ! Now who keeps their receipts that long ?
I can definitely say that it didn't save me any energy as I had to find a replacement and then go and fit it ! .

It is tipping down with rain here!

Well that's the washing hung over the clothes horse as it keeps trying to rain outside.

There will be a car bill waiting for us when we get back from holidays

loan payment? I was recently convinced of the features & benefits of automatic payments. if not, I can relate, Son's 1994 Camry is due for it's annual inspection this Friday. always a fingers-crossed situation

Alas, only my avatar has a moustache. I am moustache-less.

You'll be saying you don't really have a monocle next...

It's a £600 bill for the new air-con motor. Given the car is 11 years old that's OK.

Good grief! None of my actual cars have ever cost that much, let alone one part. I am a tight git though.

There will be a car bill waiting for us when we get back from holidays: SWMBO reliable Honda Jazz has had a part break after 10 years with nothing going wrong. A new air-con motor is needed.

Oof. Not cheap, but that's how it is. My only costly parts on my 19 year old car was a holed air con radiator (road debris), and a fractured aluminium air con pipe, both about £400.
