Bored. Sitting round at the fixer upper
1 of 3 deliveries received, hungry, out of tea, on my own, waiting for the scarlet pimpernel to deliver my flooring
And god knows where Tuffnells have gone with the doors. I bet if I sneak to the shop they'll both turn up and card me.

I just fill a kettle with lukewarm water and use that, with the wipers on after the first sloosh, on intermittent.
there is usually enough to do the mirrors and the front passenger windys as well.
I always found deicer froze on the screen again, AND you have to pay for it! (Spoken like a true tite ass!)
You 2 are nuts, Use a cup of tea/coffee
Go out start the car, then go in and make a cuppa and drink itHaven't you paupers got heated front windscreens? Even me fender has one
I can go out go start it and blip the FBH then go back for the cuppa
.I am telling you all now that a cuppa can defrost anything

Well our day has gone in a different direction.
Struggled the new chest, in its box upstairs to the bedroom, cut the top open only to find the centre panel on the top outside lid is mounted squew-wiff. I can get a finger tip into the crack at one end (Oooh matron!!!)
So spent a while on Oak Feckin Furnitureland's website trying to see how to complain other than ring them.
Not much chance, so I complained under "financial complaints" as we'd paid for a piece of sh!te.
Since then checked the law and was reassured that if we rejected it under the Consumer Rights Act within 30 days we get a refund, no returns charges. So a recorded delivery letter will be winging its way to Swinedon soon! Together with photos.
Never wanted to buy one from them but our lovely place in Poole, due to lockdown, wasn't open.
Now at least we should be able to go back there.

.....only prob is it's illegal to leave a car with its engine running unattended, except if it is on private land. So if you park in the street.......You 2 are nuts, Use a cup of tea/coffee

Oh and then there is the case of "Why is my car being driven down the road by some scrote?"
I never had time before driving to work to go out and start it then come back in again!
And what is FBH? Something to lock the car even though the engine is running? Face Book Heating?

Its a little Fuel Burning Heater that preheats the engine wata, so with the engine on and the screen heater on 5mins and the car is toasty as F
Can even be run without the engine running. if its only a light frost then I don't even have to go out can do it from the hall window
.I also keep forgetting you have "scrotes"

Ahhhhhh!
Well if you start the car and leave it with the engine and heater running, it'll still be a FBH then.
I knew a bloke with a Volvo once, Danish bloke, who had a timer he could set in his car so that it would warm up before he needed to drive it in the morning.
This was back in 1976.

Yes, there was a bloke in my kit car club who fitted one of these things to his car. Seem to remember it ran of the electric mains. Had to remember to unplug it.
Airport fire engines have water and maybe even oil heaters on all the time, with special plugs that disconnect when they have to drive off in a hurry to a shout. Found this out when on a holiday in Turkey, there were two airport firemen on the Gulet we were travelling in. B ut yours sounds as if it is independent. Do you have it cos it gets cold in Bulgary?
