We've woken up to two fridges rammed with Xmas leftovers and doubt we'll be able to avoid throwing some/most of it away.
Can you create a topic with a wiki page of what's left?
Maybe it can be dispersed charitably to those poor PHers who only have the one car.
I was going to hell anyway
Lol, imagine if some families really did only have one car….I met someone once with only 1 Porsche in the collection.

Boxster or Cayenne I'm guessing. It used to be 924/944 but now nearly all those people need a spares car.

I had a tin of shoe polish that did that once. Or so my man tells me.

You mean you don't just throw them away when they get dirty? How ghastly.

I’d take that back to Wynsor shoes and play bloody hell. I personally pay extra for Saphir’s ‘keyless entry’ range.

I pass them on to the needy. You know the type, they frequent NP & E a lot.

Then I hope they're slip-ons or those type with the Velcro fastening.

it's been very cold over the last few days and I'm shocked that the phone app which controls the heating on my ev to warm it in advance of entry, doesn't actually enable the seat heaters. this means the car is a toasty 24c on entry but the leather seats are still cold. I'm forced to switch the seat heaters on manually once I'm in the car and suffer a cold bottom for at least 30 seconds.

i think the plumber may have accidentally fitted a 3-in-1 water tap (boiling, hot, cold) instead of the 5-in-1 we ordered (fizzy, filtered, boiling, hot, cold)

Crocs would be more appropriate, less damage when they resort to throwing things.

We had workmen start on Wednesday.

Found we had no instant coffee in, had to resort to using the proper stuff.

At one of the places I work in TV world, a runner brings biscuits round at mid morning brew time (not break, just get a tea and carry on....). They are in individual sealed packets for hygiene reasons. I selected my usual packet of 2 shortbread rings. When I opened it a bit later there was only one in there. I was apoplectic!

I had no dry oak smoked streaky bacon in for my signature "Pancakes with maple syrup, bacon, blueberries and squirty cream" last night and had to use the artisanal Prosciutto from my local european specialist supplier*.

Lidl Prosciutto? I'll see your Lidl Prosciutto and raise you Household Bargains Himalayan Pink Salt. It was the only place in town who had any.

Don't worry, I went in disguise.
