Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Good morning everyone,

Its hot and humid here, the AC is running, first time i've had it on in awhile.

Today is my "catch up" day, i had a busy weekend and have laundry on the go, and floors are mopped, just need to vaccum.

 

good morning everyone,
shiney i watched a programme and a couple went clay pot making i wouldnt mind doing that myself looked interesting, pleased you enjoyed sitting in your garden with your friends.
i had a dreadful afternoon my car broke down in a town centre i was luckily enough to get it close to a garage, called AA they told me not to start it in case it went on fire, the garage is looking at it, seems the same problem so that renault garage didnt do something so im really mad, im calling them today and telling them they have put my life in danger twice now, the AA had the fire brigade at the ready as the smell of petrol was unbelievable and the engine area was hot and petrol all over the ground, im lucky it didnt go on fire, the car was shuddering while i was driving it and i was stuck behind a bus at traffic lights i was terrified.
will find out this morning AA has down on report fuel leak, possibly from injectors, this is becoming a total nightmare.
helen the allotment thats another problem as ive mentioned in my allotment thread not having much luck lately, my greenhouse arrived yesterday so that will be stuck in its box for a while
im up early this morning hubby just left for airport back to africa by the 4 weeks flew over
anyway have a great day all and let you know outcome

 

Morning Rosa and everyone,

Shiney,yes the weather was beautiful the whole weeekend.It went up to 28c where we were which was nice but wouldn't have wanted it any hotter:D

Rosa,you should have kept the Rover,this Megane sounds a right death trap and there is no way would I trust driving it.I am sure there is some way you can reject it still under the sale of goods act and it is still under watrranty.Sounds like you are going to have to spend the rest of the cars life with a fire engine following you everywhere you go in case it does go up in flames:skp: Lets hope the garage gets the job done properly this time:thumb:

Had rain showers all day yesterday so lets hope it is a better day today.Have a good one everyone in all that you do

 

Morning Rosa, Kandy and all.

Shiney did you take any snaps at the clay show or was it a case of viewing only? I have to agree with Rosa it does sound interesting sadly I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none but I do like to try new things out or at least have a go much to Bob's horror!:hehe:

Glad you enjoyed your time with your friends and I'm sure there is never any shortage of food on your plates what with you being a master chef and all.:wink:

We had runner beans too yesterday and my goodness they were very yummy indeed!

Rosa sweetie I do feel for you things are not going your way at the moment at all what with the allotment and now the car (again) but I must warn you hun those 'bad' things come in three's so don't go out for a few days..... in fact stay in bed it might be for the best!:flag:
Seriously though Rosa I do wish you some good luck you really do need it darling.:luv:

Kandy the hot weather is really no joke for Bob and I once the temperatures drop to around 16c for a few days it's really comfortable for us but when it goes back up it's far too much for us we just can't win.

Hope Mabel is still bearing up.

Bad day yesterday hobbling about for most of it thankfully just normal pains today (which I can cope with) so should be able to get something more than ironing done today. The sun is shinning so it looks like it's a gonna be a good day to work outisde.

Have a nice day peeps and take care.Hel.xxx.

 

morning kandy and helen.
to both saves answering twice, the car felt like a death trap yesterday, lets hope this garage can sort it, talked to my sister in law last night she knows the guy that owns the garage were the car is she said they know what they are doing its a good garage for repairs unlike that crazy renault garage that its been in, they gave me back a death trap as they didnt do the fuel injectors like they said they had done, hehe just waiting for the third thing to happen, this carry on with the allotment now the car its a total nightmare, my hubby was out in car yesterday morning and he said it was fine till i went out in it.
have a great day and will let you both know later on what i hear, then im on phone to the boss of that renault garage, they are not getting away with this. ive got to call back the garage were we bought it as soon as i hear about my car.
talk later

 

morning shiney, im hoping that this other garage were it is gets to the root of the problem, we can take it back and get another car iff we want, but we honestly thought that renault garage had fixed the problems and they charged hundreds to that guy were we bought the car and its still got the same problems so it will be proof that they havnt done the car as i have the AA proof of whats wrong.thanks for yours and everyones support over this car and allotment business.
will look forward also to seeing mrs shineys pottery pieces

 

Morning Rosa, Kandy, Hel and everyone,
Poor Rosa no fun having a car that keeps giving you grief.:dh: You go give them jip girl for not doing a proper job the 1st time.:thmb: Tell them that the AA said it was to dangerous to drive. Hope things start to work out better for you soon.:wink: 02


Hiya Kandy, yes we had a beautiful weekend also, but its been grey and overcast since.:(


Hope your aches and pains are not to bad today Hel, this barmy weather dosnt help, it cant be good for the old bod trying to cope with these fluctuating temperatures.:skp:


Well Im ashamed of myself because I was going to start getting back into regular swimming again this morning but woke up a bit late. I say late as in liking to get there for 7.30am to avoid all the kids :dh: Tomorrow definitely. :skp::hehe: 02

 

Morning Helen and Rosa,

Helen hope you are feeling a bit better today with your back problems.((((((((hugs))))))) Touch wood mine hasn't been too bad of late but I manage it a bit differently now so know my limits,not too much gardening,allotmenteering,or sitting at the computer for too long and it seems to have done the trick.:thumb: I seem to be the only person on the planet that likes ironing,but thena gain if I didn't do it no one else would.Coming from a large family {12 of us} I learnt from an early age to fend for myself,but at least I am not like a lot of the thirty year olds these days who have to have their parents wipe their noses for them as they haven't got a clue:D

I am putting up a photo of the new cold frame type thingy that Mr Kandy built on Saturday with some old panes of glass we had lying about at the bottom of the plots under the hedge.It took him hours to build but at least the carrot fly won't get to his carrot seedlings:D

Rosa, Good Luck with getting the car fixed.No way should you have the smell of fuel when you drive it.I hoep the garage gets it right this time and lets hope you have some success with the allotment especially as ypu have all the stuff now.:thumb:

I forgot to put up a photo of that Parasol that I wombled from my friend.they didn't like it after they had brought it a few weeks ago so was going to throw it away until I spotted it behind the dustbin.We just need to get a base for it and a new bag because Mr Kandy ripped it's bag as he was putting the Parasol away:(

Anyway,hope you both have a good day

 

Morning Shiney and 02 didn't see you popping up there while I was typing.:luv:

Hope your daughter and SiL had a lovely day Wendy and did thye get away on Honeymoon to anywhere nice?

Have a great day:luv:

 

Morning Shiney, hope you and Mrs Shiney are well. I would love to see some of Mrs shineys pics she took. Thats what I need a hobby, but cant decide what.:dh:
Hope you all have a lovely day.:thmb: 02

 

Hee hee, we keep missing eachother Kandy. The wedding was suppose to have taken place in March just gone but due to a car crash they had to postpone it. (everybody was fine but not the car)

So they had to take their honeymoon that was already booked to Jamaica then. So this time they planned on going to cornwall camping, just drive down there and see where their fancy took them.

They got all the way down there to find there was a yearly surfing event going on and everywhere was chock a block:dh: So they came all the way back and went to Blackpool!!!! I know dont ask, I did and got, we couldnt be bothered driving to far again :dh: Oh well it was their choice and apparentley had a great time :skp::hehe: 02

 

Good morning everyone,

Its another hot one here:thumb:, had some good storms go through here last night, but the worst of it missed us.:gnthb:

Have some laundry in the washer, floors are mopped and vaccumed, and the house is clean, so today might be a good book day:D, i'll go out and water some later, plus my stomach feels blah.....gotta love "mother nature":flag::dh:.............NOT:rotfl::rotfl:

 

evening everyone,
take more and kandy had a bad day today the garage only told AA that 4 weeks ago wylam garage had done that to car the injectors cracked and AA wont pay for it and they even wouldnt come out to pick car up i got annoyed with them and asked why we are paying £22 per month for no service as i have homestart relay stat-mobile breakdown repair service.
anyway were i bought the car hes having to pay someone to come down near mine and pick the car up and its going back to wylam garage in the morning, told AA to s---- their service and thats the finish, going to join our insurance breakdown service as AA let me down badly today.
