What made you happy today?

Yep mines a 2015 automatic with less than 40k on the clock. Gearbox should definitely last a lot longer than that. We contacted an independent for a quote and they said £4k so very very glad that Nissan have agreed to cover it
I bet its a long job and the gearbox is expensive too. This is what happened to my old yaris. Its ran perfect other than an exhaust leak. All I needed was a gasket that cost £10 on ebay. But the labour charge was £400 to get the exhaust apart. It had 20 years of rust, it had basicly rusted the bolts in. I tried myself in the end and totally failed so frustrating, because I knew what to do. But it was impossible without having the car up in the air on a ramp
 
I saw that one but didn't want to start an argument :)) I also was tempted by one that said "roses are red, violets are blue, the dog is my favourite, but you're ok too" :lol!:

In the end I settled for a Brooklyn nine nine themed "I love you more than Terry loves yogurt (and Terry really loves yogurt)" which got a huge grin out the hubby.

I’d love to receive this card :)) Terry is brilliant
 
Went to see Emma at the cinema today with MrA. One of us loved it. And the other nodded off, woke up confused, muttered something about not being able to follow it and went and sat in the foyer...
After braving the storm and everything. Glad you enjoyed it.

The cinema was full so we weren’t the only ones braving the bad weather. Wouldn’t have gone this evening - storm picked up as we were heading home and has been vile since.

Ah yes it's this evening that it's been bad here too. Hopefully Spring is around the corner.
 
Took my youngest (13, autism & anxiety) to the hospital today to meet the disabilities liaison lady who is LOVELY and talked her through blood tests, showed her all the stuff they use from the alcohol wipe to the tourniquet to the (packaged) needle, walked her round the two places she could choose from to have it done (children's or general) and we have gone from brick wall of fear to this blood test actually being a real possibility 😁

And my eldest is excited about her historical sewing project that she's decided to do as an EPQ alongside her A levels, so a nice start to half term break.
It's so good to hear that some hospitals at least have this kind of service. I've not yet had need of one for my autistic son, but if I do I hope our hospital has it too x
 
Burritos last night, pancakes this morning and curry for dinner tonight. I love cooking when I have my sisters around because they all chip in and help out or at least sing along to the radio and dance round in circles in my tiny kitchen with me. The piggies have been loving the leftover herbs and off-cuts of veggies as well.

hats off to anyone who cooks proper meals every night though I don't think I can keep this up for much more than a weekend.

Thanks! I cook all the time. Yesterday it was flapjacks, biscuits, chocolate brownies and sultana buns. I have cooked my OH's salmon noodle stirfry today for his lunches next week and tomorrow we are having Chinese Pork stirfry with rice. Tuesday I have to cook 2 meals as my son's friend is coming to stay and she (NOT his girlfriend he has made this more than clear) is a veggie and we are not.

Nearly all the meals I cook have to have a veggie and meat option but we usually eat the same thing i.e. I make a big pan of curry with marinated chicken breasts cooked in the oven for meat eaters and fried halloumi for me and whoever I can persuade to join me. I'm veggie but I hate to push my choices onto others when they are usually more than happy to go out of their way to cook veggie meals for me when I visit them.

I have to cook every day and admittedly I do get fed up. But sometime last year I told my husband I was tired and he can cook sundays. So I get one day off, apart from when I’m tired and do takeaway 😁🤷🏾‍♀️
 
A friend came over for coffee, and while we were in the kitchen she spotted our shopping list on the counter.
She looked really confused and said, 'What is 'human salad', and why is it on your shopping list?'

I had to explain that in this house we buy 'human salad' which is mixed salad leaves and 'piggie salad' which is more basic.
 
Lucky humans! In this house the humans get the piggie salad when it starts to look a bit limp.
Yes same here! On our shopping list "Piggy salad" usually means the fancy bistro salad with grated beetroot bits, "hooman salad" is mixed babyleaf that usually gets mostly eaten by the piggies anyway... and "piggy lettuce long date" is usually romaine or little gem that keeps 4 or 5 days for after the good stuff is eaten up!

Did she drink her coffee? 🤣🤣
