I voted no,.. then remembered,..

The first day it froze the sliding door on the side of my van froze shut. I tugged the handle a bit too hard trying to open it and broke the handle off!

Pump gave up today. Only had it since June(ionics). The Shurflo in the other van is fine though. Someone drove round the corner today and slid into my van,reversed back then did the same. Then drove off. I only knew because my neighbour told me. Might have to put a stinger across the road tonight and just hope its only them that drive past in the morning!

I crashed the van on the mountains in Snowdonia on sunday night, its with the repairers at the moment being assessed if its a right off or not

I have a courtesy "vauxhall corsa" car which I will be using with my back pack from Monday onwards.
