Front and back garden as well. Not sure you's have fuck all to whinge about tbf.

I am not moaning, Im saying it is piss easy, I also look after two kids have a small business , I was pointing out it is not hard now not like when my gran was bringing up kids with no  life gadgets .  I was pointing out the articles in the Guardian etc claiming being a house person was the hardest thing in life when its not.

It's piss east if you're organised and keep on top of it. You do need a routine though. I only wash and dry the dishes once a day, set the washer away once a day etc. The kids do look after their own rooms but I need to be on their back quite a bit. Oh, and then there's the dog ?.

when did spark plugs get so expensive? I'm sure they used to be about £2 each but ECP reckon on up to £20 each for the fucking things. Yeah, errr no? Like get in the sea sort of no. Ib appreciate there are things like inflation and was steadting myself for £15-20 for a set of 4, but that much EACH? 

Jesus wept.

Anyone got any suggestions on Bosch FR8DC+ plugs for a 2001 mercedes c180 m111 engine? will they be ok because i can get them for under £12 for 4.

I don't think I've ever spent more than £20 on a set of plugs with no ill effect. Do moderns use fancier plugs?

Yes some do. I know the MX5 MK3 had iridium plugs out of the factory. Set of four cost £50 about 6 years ago. Service schedule is to replace them at 60k miles. My garage said they looked like new when they removed them. If the car wasn't still reasonably new and worth something, I'd told them to wham back in.

I fear I may be being victimised by 'marketing' and actually a set of whatever ebay do most cheaply will be fine, but have this nagging feeling I'll be the dinlo who wrecked his otherwise fine engine for the sake of a few quid after fitting unsuitable plugs. I'm paranoid about plugs after the Saab/Germany episode last year. maybe i'll leave them alone?

ECP only list fancy plugs for my OH’s bloody Hyundai i10. Iridium plugs at a tenner each (before discount) in a 1.2 shopping trolley.

Got to get the car i borrowed that someone hit to the repairers for 08.00 this morning.

Got to get buses and trains home so only took my back door key with me. Shut the front door behind me to find I had double locked the outer door, so I'm stuck in the porch. Rang all my family who have spare keys, but all gone to voicemail.

My grump is that I did THE FUCKING SAME THING 2 WEEKS AGO and had to be rescued by the Estate Agent. And this is the earliest I have had to get up for months.

Whatever happened to having your own thoughts but not enforcing them on other people? I’d be eating meat every day at work if I worked there. 

I finally blocked a cancerous little youtube this morning after a year of ignoring him. Even in the vacuum collecting world you get slanderous vile idiots it seems. Luckily he and his followers stay in their little echo chamber, but do like to directly refer to me alot...

yep typical large american corporation, I bet having to give us 25 days a year holiday really pisses them off. They've been doing their hardest to make things just that little bit shitter every year. They've ruined our canteen by outsourcing it to a variety of crap third parties, who have double the price and reduced the quality, they've removed our free coffee/tea supply and so on. 
Are you in Aberdeen and do they have a white office building on a hill?

My nephew got the all clear after throat cancer 6 months ago, went for results of a check up yesterday to be told it hadn’t cleared after all but had spread to his lymph system and therefore all around his body. They are talking weeks to a few months max. He has two kids under ten and they are unlikely to be able to keep the house once he has gone. To add to the ‘fun’ his other half is waiting for results back on a lump in her breast. I can’t imagine what my sister and her husband are going through at the mo. Life is a fucking shit sometimes.
