Drove it to the tip three times.. A loft full of cardboard boxes and stuff I don't need, a spare rooms worth of old stuff I don't need, all the detritus created rewiring the office, cabling the house with cat5, putting an 18U rack in an unused cupboard with patch panel, switch etc and fitting a new toilet in the main bathroom.

Back to work for a rest, I'm knackered and I was really just labourer for my 67 year old Dad - don't know how he does it!

spot on  ;D


I've done it myself.


Another handy hint is to reconnect the battery after finishing an electrical repair. We spent another 4 hours with increasingly desperate/complicated 'fixes' none of which worked. On being called to dinner, my mate said "We'll just reconnect the battery and be right there ...........'dangle berries'!!!!!"

Gloomily drove the TD for it's annual MOT, expecting it to fail at least on the OS headlamp lens, then drove it back in jovial mood with a PASS!!! Still going to change the headlamps though. :y :y :y

bought for £1.25 on offer from tescos simoniz bug and bird tish shifter - may deter me from buying a pellet gun as the pidgeons around here are the size of zeppelins, and manage to dump on my omegas with bombsite accuracy whenever they please

Drove SWMBO, step daughter,  daughter and grand daughter to the zoo.
With 3 adults and 2 babies (in car sests) plus push chairs the Omega felt a bit cramped,,,,,
