Little lad is about to find out he's won £50 before he gets it re invested

Catch em young. My Dad taught me the value of savings, his wisdom has never let me down.

Too right


Just started winterize the cars nice dry day I would say cold out but I've just got back off holiday to a warm island

All levels checked mine needs a drop of oil but I'll do that when I'm back at work on a flat area the camber of the street always makes it look low it's still got plenty in but I'll double check one lunch time ..


Tested batteries both showing good

Antifreeze tested mines -36 and wife's -40 (hers was replaced this summer when I did the cambelt and water pump)


Screen wash is currently -5°c but that'll get boosted as winter comes in by weekly top ups..


brake fluid is showing <1% water contamination which is fine

Just tyre pressures to check but wife's is getting 2x winters put on the back this week so no point till that's done.. and both cars have blooming tyre monitoring that'll come on thr first cold morning anyway

That's the boss lady's car just about fully prepped for winter bar the boot kit


Just about ready for her starting a new job next week (just in time our finances have taken a battering since August ) .. but the food stocks have helped provide a good cushion which next month will be fully restored .. Mrs A had taken up a volunteer roll at the food back which because of her position got her £10 a week voucher and well she's a smart shopper
