      As there is a heavy frost forecast tonight, this one is timely:

      No need to waste valuable time and energy scraping the ice off your car in the morning, before going to bed tonight, go out and start your car and turn the heater onto a warm setting, and then lock the car with your spare key before retiring; when you awake in the morning your car will be free of ice with the added bonus that the cabin will also be nice and toasty for you to drive away :snork:

        If you keep a spare bag of cat litter in the shed (which I do) make sure you also put it in a plastic bag as the dampness in the shed can undo the glue and when you pick it up the whole lot falls out the bottom!!!!:doh:
