He's a secret agent for Findus, trying to rig the market in crispy pancakes.

Does that mean when he goes off in his caravan he is on a covert mission?

Oh myyy, I detest self service checkouts with a vengeance...

Will use them grudgingly if I've only got a single item, but I hate the "please put the item in the bagging area" or "unexpected item in the bagging area". Man, it drives me bananas.

Yoi’re not alone....

Certainly spend a lot of time undercover with Detective Wimpers

Findus is a rather apt name for a department of the Secret Services.

I used to fill up to a predetermined amount, £10 £20 £30 and would never go even a penny over.

These days I just wait until the click (and round it up to an even number if needed)

I'm not mad am I?

Petrol pump and OCD........What do you do?

I prefer to put in a precise number of litres rather than amount of money because I always know how much I am using. If it's a week of local journeys only I will put in 10 litres, 16 litres if there is somewhere extra to go to. Proper long journeys requiring a full tank is more of a challenge for the ocd but I do try to round it up to a whole litre after it clicks. The even amount started when the local Esso began giving one Tesco club card point for every 2 litres! Tesco themselves give one point per litre not money.

Looks like my car insurance company has cocked up. I got a letter from the DVLA yesterday telling me your car isn't insured, either insure it or s..o.r.n it. I checked the database and it wasn't on it, so I had words with the insurance company and they said They'd sort it. I've just checked the database again and they haven't, I might be having words again tomorrow.

Spent another fifteen minutes on the phone to Hastings Direct just now, car still not showing on the MID website, they are telling me it could take up to seven days before it will show, they sent a fresh request when I phoned Wednesday, I've asked them to phone them and chase it up, but I'm not hopeful.

I would avoid driving until it shows up on the MID web-site if you can.

I would like to but we're in Warrington tomorrow, I'm restricting my use and carrying insurance documents in the car at the moment, I'm also keeping the car off road.

Lovely day here in Mancland, blue sky all the way.

But oh it's getting cold, I think winter is getting near

 

[summerdays]

Yes ... I've hunted out (but not put on) my slippers....

7c here currently, time to dig out my winter gear.

I am very organised these days and keep my gloves/hats/scarves in one bag, used to be an annual search for it all.

Cannot cycle this winter as I have nothing suitable to wear, it all seems to have shrunk over the summer

I didn't think you cycled anyway whatever the weather

I won't use them unless I have to. They go wrong the minute I look at them and then I develop Tourettes until I can escape the store.
