Walked down to the village to pick up the car.
New rear discs and pads. Paid the bill - £250. They also checked the rest of the CRV over and gave it the thumbs up - should be good for a few more years with a bit of luck. It'll be 18 years old in September.

Tried out the new Vax carpet cleaner in the front room.
Only had it on a light wash setting and it worked very well.
Plenty of muck sucked up, and all the main stains have gone. Very easy to use, so I will do the hall and the stairs another day.
Looks like I have got myself a regular job every couple of months.😂

I've got a Vax it's a few years old now, but still brings to carpets up like new

May I ask which model(s) you have?

Mrs @BoldonLad has delegated me to research and acquire a carpet cleaner, I don't want to get it wrong, so far, have a recommendation for the Bissel Proheat X2 Revolution, but, I believe that is based on only one 'use'.

Mrs G keeps looking at what houses there are on the market and I keep telling her it is pointless really until we get a buyer for ours. I don't want her to set her heart on one if we are not in a position to proceed but she is still looking.

Best of luck.
We are moving next Friday the 10th, it's been a long frustrating process.
We were looking before we put ours on the market.
Fortunately, we sold our place within days of it going on the market.
A lot depends on where you are selling and buying.

I have a bissell. Its an older model and heavy, but it's good. All my family borrow it to clean cars, carpets etc.

This is the one I have bought.
Vax rapid power plus.
This model has been superseded, but is available at lower prices. It worked very well today.

I tired to use my wife's Vax carpet cleaner a few months ago - it basically looks like a bulky normal vacuum

didn;t really seem to work that well

apparently you have to switch it on for it to work!!!!!

(NOT my fault - the button is on the base and not very easy to see!)


Oh - and my email fro ERNIE seems to have gone missing the the Ether

again
Have you pressed the switch?
It might be at the bottom!

The email from Ernie often turns up a couple of days later than the draw day.
Have you not got the prize checker app?
