I'll eat my words if he proves me wrong when I'm saying the same thing in 12 months.

I don't want to think to that, can our nerves take it? I'm pleased we have hes pushchair now, it'll be worn out in another 12 months.

PS, he now needs lifting into it every time, he can no longer jump in. And hes actually learnt to let us pick him up without having a strop.

Made it to 16

We never thought we would see this day after the massive roller coaster of this year with him. For new members, hes literally came back from the brink of being PTS twice, with in a few hours both times.

But don't do that again I went through all the emotions before I got to the bottom him bless him

Caz with one Z and numbers.

watching the Tour of Briton and going to see it live at Caerphilly be in the mountains somewhere to get quick fix son not included

Have a lovely time Caz, we're still sat waiting for the baby to make an appearance ...... he is now 8 days late so they may have to induce on Monday

can't go tomorrow car broke tell her to uncross her legs oh bless her all the best for monday

Hope it doesn't cost too much to fix Caz, our car was in the garage all day yesterday as we had a warning light come on that stayed on ....... couldn't find anything really wrong so they gave it a full service as it was almost due and hey presto light has gone off. It also had the rear brakes changed so we're now all set for the winter weather but it has an MOT due next month .......... expensive business this motoring

especially with my garage man and can't tax her as she waz sworn and I need my log book I can't find THAT safe place
THAT safe place seams to change every month as I find a new one

Our car is in the garage ....... again. We got stuck on the M60 yesterday and we discovered that we had a small leak on the radiator as steam came from the front went to the garage and put some radweld in but this morning when we used it you could have had a sauna sat on the bonnet ....... radiator is cream crackered and started leaking from the top as well. New radiator is going in tomorrow plus the pipe for the steering fluid has sprung a leak so it's being replaced too.

In all fairness though we have been racking the miles up at a rate of around 500 per week

did your mechanic do the sharp intake of air hope all fixes up all ok Helen and as for my log book FOUND IT! but have lost my keys so can tax her but can't drive her must be in another safe place

We are now back home, I will be back on the forum and up to date very soon. Have I been missed? Mike isn't allowed to answer. ;-)

We're off to participate in the international observing moon night tonight, so it might not be till tomorrow or Monday. We've got to empty and sort the van first, that isn't a five minute job, we'll need a holiday to recover from the holiday lol. :-)

Welcome back,have you been away no i missed you really

That's very restrained for you

Just to sort a computer out now, i'm on the scrounge for anything at all. Even just a borrow, wish me luck. :-)

What a week we've had, went to Wales last Friday afternoon then got a call to get home fast ..... trying to drive home with the dog in the car and it was pitch black due to having no lights on the motorway when we heard a whining from the steering, then we got to Queensferry to have to go back and around as they had closed the bridge overnight due to repairs from 8pm (it was now 8.40pm) Back down the motorway to go the Chester way instead (pitch black and raining) roadworks all the way home on the A55, the M56 and then the 60 (cars still whining and the dog is joining in too now) straight to the hospital with dog in the car. We arrived at around 11.10pm almost 3 hours for a journey that takes us around and hour and fifteen. Laura's pulse and temp was far too high and baby's pulse way too low so some intervention was needed to deliver baby ...... he arrived at 12.12am. Four hours later still waiting to see a second urologist but he finally arrived and we went back to Wales because nothing had been turned off.

Car in garage ..... car out of garage ....... back in garage and £500 later all sorted. Got myself a stinking cold from grandchild number 1 but came back to Wales yesterday as I had bought an awning for the van from fleabay for £46 and had to collect. Never again will I call a Dandy awning took ages for us to thread through the awning rail ..... coughing and spluttering with a dripping nose I then slipped off the steps (had to stand on to reach the rail)and twisted my ankle also knocked my dodgy shoulder ..... putting the frame up I got hit on head with a steel roof pole and divorce proceedings were about to take place. Turns out the awning was a bargain but we won't be putting it up again so I've photographed it to sell on next season Had to turn the van around as it had sunk on the soft ground and I'm now thinking a caravan is far too much trouble so may sell it on next season along with the damn awning

The good news is the awning rail probably only wants a spray with mr sheen,but you certainly managed to fit some problems into a few days.

mike

Sprayed it with silicone spray Mike and it did help but it's still a pain in the bum so it's going ....... life with a dandy is a lot less complicated and we've found the van less comfortable so have been bringing the dandy anyway and erecting it to use as a bedroom sort of makes having a caravan a bit pointless apart from when the kids or family use it so we'll probably just pass it on if they want it.

Helen take a big breath in slowly let it out then sit down with a strong tipple of your choice and all will be better after a bottle or two

In the spirit of people reporting poorly cars the Rover 400's performance has been a bit down first noticed it on the way down to Goodwood but never thought any more about it. A bit stupid as it turns out as this years charity was the Fly Navy Heritage Trust and there was a plethora of Navy tech types from HMS Sultan who could no doubt have supplied me with a suitably sized piece of alloy tube. When examined the problem was with the hose from the intercooler to the inlet manifold. These burst with annoying regularity I've never had a Diesel Rover where the hose didn't burst. So rather than spending my week shopping for a Rover pipe in a strange area and paying £50 plus I decided I'd bodge and do a fix while I looked at options. So I stumped up £5 to a garage and liberated 2 large Jubilee Clips and got to cut a length off a scrapped exhaust.

Well done Mr Itch ........ brilliant

I have met the anti-Christ
let me explain , we (my sister , my great nephew and I) went for a leisurely walk through the wild life park to let little one run off steam all was going well until it turned up , now don't get me wrong love kids except this one we were playing and having so much fun when this little boy turned up and we allowed it to join in until it started to get nasty towards my great nephew and we left as you do well the next thing I had this overbearing woman ( assuming mother ) ripped into me yelling in my face didn't quiet catch it all allot of foreign language involved and before I had the right to reply she turned and left well stunned but IT! turned and swear to god the eyes turned red with the grin of Damien then a very quiet woman and her child turned up very sheepishly and asked what happened well by this time my sister and I were laughing in disbelief of what had just happened and apparently this child has set his mum on most of the visitors to the park oh not good so we soothed this poor woman and we went on our way hoping to steer clear of the duo.. rain now pouring down so we started to walk home there they were standing in front of a huge puddle and I just had to do it with my sisters voice ringing in my ears NOOOOOOO as I took a running jump and made the biggish splash I could and the satisfaction was over whelming as they stood there stunned ha ha yep I know my sister told me " that was childish wasn't it " but felt good

I have just found out that I am not the only one in the village into PVC
As I was going into town on the bus (free) three stops away (still in the village )what should I see but an erect pale blue low side Destiny This was the first time that I had seen it although I do the trip quite often. When mentioned to Mrs Jake, who was with me she replied "Oh it's always there, didn't you know, but it's normally folded".
Nobody tells me anything ever
