Morning all. bd post rain frost, poor old Honda was frozen solid.
The condensation in my Land Rover had left icicles inside and I had frost on both sides of the windscreen and windows.

I walked to work cause I couldn't be arsed to clear it and I'm pretty sure ice melt hitting the back of my neck whilst driving would have resulted in an involuntary direction change

Getting the Christmas decorations down already? I did that a few years ago, the metal tree stand fell on my head and whilst falling back down the ladder the trap-door slammed on my fingers, Christmas decorations are dangerous.

My finger hurts. The ring finger on my left hand, so it's not as if it's ever likely to be needed but it's still got an ouchy. Finally got stuck into changing the bottom wishbone of the RR which is proving to be a real stubborn bugger of a job due to the lower ball joint being seized in the hub carrier.

Decided to take the whole lot off and tackle it on the bench after the balljoint splitter started going banana shaped and got my finger a bit squished as the hub swung round on itself. Throbbing. frown

I am away this weekend marshalling on the Roger Albert Clark Rally,I had been up in the loft getting my stove etc out when I went to put the loft ladder away (it is the sort that sits up on the hatch) I thought it was latched together properly. I was wrong, it shot down and smacked me in the forehead splitting the skin and leaving a nice lump.
My pride is more hurt than my face though.

In other trivial news, I got a new oven.

Our old one broke last weekend, Laura took an entire week to decide which one she wanted to replace it (Funny, as it's me that uses it most of the time) so I set about finding one on Saturday.

I could either go to Currys (shower of crooks) and pay for it, and stick it in the boot and take it home, or buy it online at AO.com, advertised at the same price, and probably have to pay for delivery at some point during the week.

Decided I hate Currys enough to buy it elsewhere. Ordered it 3pm Saturday. Do I want £30 cashback and free next day delivery?

So it came yesterday, I fitted it, and made sausage casserole for me, my wife, and my mate.

And it was tremendous.
Heart ao.com muchly.

Heart sausage casserole as well, as it goes.

AO.com = good, especially with a cash back credit card! Saved us ~£400 doing our kitchen.

They certainly are - 24th December 2007 I was sent up into the loft to get the Christmas stockings down and was just stepping off the loft ladder into the roof when it snapped and dumped me 12 feet down across the remains of the ladder.

Burst wedge fracture of T12 vertebrae and 3 months in a hips to neck brace....
