How did you nearly set your van on fire ?

Probably the friction from his working speed.

starter motor mate.it was still getting power to it from the battery without the key in ignition(wires must have fused together)when i tried to start it the other week.i was just off in my car to the garage when i glanced back at my van and white smoke was coming from the bonnet!i ran back and disconnected the battery!very lucky!all sorted now with a new starter motor. :)

I've got 1/2 hour off sitting on the pan reading Dazmonds post. No mention of drums Daz?!  :-*

Bit windy today. We've got a gutter job later hope all goes ok with that.

80 mph forecast here. Doesn't seem that bad yet but pointless going out. I have a block of flats booked in today with a property management company - just have to wait. Still not caught up since Christmas.

Storm strength gusting winds & rain down south today so I've written the day off as would be daft to try.

Biblical downpour at the moment in Berkshire! My guy is out on a gutter  job and I'm in the van between Windows having lunch. I think he's taken shelter in a mankey  greenhouse! 😮 I'm off Friday and I bet it'll be the best day so far .

Must admit that it was bad this afternoon.

Luckily I had a gutter job booked in. I priced the wrong house (detached) and when I turned up it was a tiny terraced 2 up 2 down so a job that I priced for 3 hours actually took us 20 minutes, winner!
