What made you happy today?

I tried to order from them but the website wouldn't state how much the postage was until you checked out. I didn't want the get saddled with a large bill so didn't place the order, do you know how much you paid for postage @amy104 ?
 
At work today, My bosses brother in law asked me, " are you really working in this weather" in front of my boss and a few other workers, and I answered yea we are digging bloody holes on this weather today.

He then said what by hand?

And I said no with a spade.

And everyone was howling with laughter... He meant with a sit on digger or by hand using a shovel, not literally on my hands and knees like a dog, but I took it literal.

I'm glad I made people laugh 👍 I always take things like this literally, not sure why, my brain doesn't recognise things

You could have passed it off as sarcasm though if it's anything like my workplace they would have known anyway. A colleague wrote on my notepad "I sat on your desk" while I was on sick leave but disguised her handwriting. I had a feeling it was her so sent her a message on teams saying "someone left a message on my notepad saying they sat on my desk... I don't know why they couldn't just use the chair like a normal person". Sure enough within 2 mins she was at my desk defending herself and her choice of words :)) so easy to catch people in our office

That made me chuckle 😂. I realised after what I said, I could have played along with sarcasm. Too late lol.
 
Today I am very very happy. Was back to work which was exhausting but... I got my car back... And I didn't have to pay a penny for the work. They did the investigation, a full clean inside and out, replaced the gearbox and did an extensive road test all out of the goodness of their heart (and possibly because they know there are many faults with that particular year and spec of car!). It's been a stressful month trying to get it sorted, being ferried around by the hubby in his merc saloon and having to hoist myself out of the low seats but it's finally done!

Fingers crossed itl go for years without a fault now, just service parts 🤞. Bet you wish you kept that yaris sometimes. Does your Nissan actually have a Nissan engine?

Anyway that Nissan will have a much better safety rating than a little plastic yaris

No sadly it's a Renault engine. I didn't realise that Nissan's are pretty much made by Renault these days otherwise we would have reconsidered my big purchase. The Yaris was going to cost another £300-400 just to get through its MOT and at 100k on the clock things like clutch etc wouldn't have been far off being needed with that either. Newer Yaris are made in Peugeot factory apparently so not as reliable as they used to be. Seems everything has gone for looks and features over longevity these days. I remember my parents having a washing machine for around 15 years just replacing the odd part like the belt because things weren't so disaposable

When I bought my Honda Jazz 10 years ago, I was considering a Nissan Note as an alternative. My local independent garage said Jazz's were better, because the Renault based Nissans were poor for reliability, I'm glad I followed their advice. I haven't had a single fault in 10 years and 80K miles. 👍Touchwood it carries on that way, cos now I can't afford to replace it ! 😄

Shame it doesn't have a Nissan engine, but Renault is French so known for early electrical gremlins, but the clio engine for example is supposed to be brilliant.

My yaris went to 160, 000 miles on its original clutch, I didn't believe it but the previous owner confirmed it had never had a clutch change. ( you could tell when you pressed it, your foot hurt like mad)

But like yours, it needed a £400 repair, just because of labour, the part was only £10. It was rust that killed my little reliable beauty 😢

Have you got a pic of your jazz, interested to see it, but don't show the number plate 👍

In my opinion, the Nissan note has the better looks, but the jazz is better quality. Notice how the jazz hold its value so we'll?

I don't know how much a 10 year old Note would be worth, but this is effectively worthless now because it would cost as much as you could then sell it for, to repair all the dents and scrapes my kind son has added to the bodywork 😆
To put this thread back on topic, it makes me happy to know I made a good purchase decision 10 years ago!

Just see them as battle scars, cars build character with dents and scrapes, put it this way, you need not worry where you park it. I'd never want a posh shiny car

What made me happy yesterday was taking my ponies for a walk around the house lake, but they just followed me without any halters or leads. I didn’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning.. but my horses made me and I had a lovely time with them :)

@Hannah_xx you really must be a horse whisperer. How moving for them to want to follow you as the leader of their pack.

Can I join you? I'm tired of the UK lol.

anyone’s welcome for a holiday :xd: Though it will soon be winter here, and Victorian winter is almost as bad as England in my opinion haha
My horses are super sweet, No need to be scared :D

It is a lovely feeling, especially as the use to be wild in Kosciusko National Park. (We’d love them all to still be free, but they get rounded up and culled/sent to slaughter unless they come to the few sanctuaries)
So to have created this trust and bond with them is super special.

The fear came after one kicked my brother but luckily both rear hooves hit his bike handlebars and not his face and then one kicked out at me when I was visiting my ex gfs horses
