3/4 of a tank of super for the tvr was 70 quid on Sunday

Then using a 1/4 of it hooning it around the country roads on the first nice day of the year…priceless

Today i have the joy of trying to get a damaged bath panel compensated from Amazon.
Ironically, i chose mdf panels rather than plastic as i thought they'd be stronger and less liable to be damaged.
Those fizzin' delivery drivers throw things about and rush around too much for my liking.

I bought a meal for Mrs Mottie and myself in Zizzi tonight. Three courses with a couple of glasses of wine. Cost me just over a tenner as my mum gave me a load of Tesco vouchers and they paid for the meal but you can't get drinks with the vouchers.

I remember filling up a brand new Diesel-engined Maestro van in 1986.

It was something like 34p a litre.

When I bought a brand New Bedford Rascal van in 1987, I was glad when the price of fuel went up because it meant I could squeeze a tenners worth of fuel into the tank and not keep coming away with a pocket full of change from my ten pound note!

Edit: Just looked it up and it had an 8.1 Gallon tank so unless my maths are out, petrol must have been around 27 pence a litre. That can't be right?

Edit2: Mind you, I never let it get empty so I wouldn't have been putting the full 8.1 gallons in so probably around 30-35 pence a litre

And today i got an e-mail telling me a replacement will be here in a couple of days. Now all i have to do is figure out what to do with the damaged one

I found a good deal on face masks: £8 for two with 10 filter pads. All washable and a much better alternative to those bulky facemasks i used to use when sanding large areas. I have a door to do next week and the new face masks will have to prove their worth. And if another strain of Covid should surface they'll look good out and about.

You'd be better off with a JSP Force 8. The filters aren't rewashable, but they are a self-check face fit type which is very effective. Without face fit dust and other nasties can be drawn into the mask round the sides, They do make you look a bit like Darth Vader, though

Perhaps, but i work part-time around a care home and any resemblance to Darth Vader could have dire consequences for the residents.

I've always found their live chat to be excellent and 99/100 results in a satisfactory outcome there and then.

I was over Lakeside today buying a shirt and some socks and I snagged a couple of bargains while I was over there.

I got a £30 tie for a fiver in Moss Bros. Bargain.

And a QI wireless 10,000mAh power bank for a tenner in Robert Dyas. It also has two USB outputs too. Anywhere between £20 and £35 elsewhere.
