@iantt yes, I heard about it last week 👍 not that we'll actually be able to take the weekend off....... I presume.

We have to work bank holidays either for double time or day back 🙄 used to be double time AND day back but Single Status reared its ugly head and removed a lot of 'perks' and advantages....... but that's a whole different thread 😀

[iantt]

Never work bank holidays or weekends. , Or weekdays according to some at work.

Getting the rear house door fixed without having to have it replaced. Result.

Worrying mark on my forearm for three weeks so, having had a skin-cancer scare seven years ago, I rang my GP surgery at 0930 this morning and was invited to submit photos, which I did around 1030. At 1100 the GP rang me to offer me a midday appointment, when he reassured me that I had nothing to worry about.

140 miles would last me about 3 to 4 days now, glad I live in NI LOL

My mum recently had a stroke, so I visit her daily at her home now, 30 or 60 miles/day depending on one or 2 visits. My petrol consumption has soared!

I do like having a double win on insurance yesterday.

Home insurance down 15% on renewal and cheaper than last year, even though it is same company but the new customer quote was cheaper.

Car Insurance, moving to Ford Insure now, 15% cheaper than my renewal, 10% cheaper than I paid last year and it means no arguing with insurance to get it repaired by a Ford accident centre with genuine parts. 🙂

I was with Ford Insure when they were underwritten by RSA, but when they changed to Allianz the premiums were crazy expensive. Now it's underwritten by Admiral they're much more competitive again.

I have both my Fiesta and ST insured through Ford Insure, consistently the cheapest and a good experience with them so far.

Some of the funny things you find in the hospital changing room 😂

I do like getting a horn; 

It came 😂 oh lord! It arrived rather yesterday from China purchased via AliExpress

Link: CHSKY Car Horn Snail type Horn For Hyundai Solaris Creta ix25 Kona Santa Fe ix35 Grand i10 Sonata Getz i20 i30 i40 ix20 ix35 i45|Multi-tone & Claxon Horns| - AliExpress 

it's a straight swap double snail upgrade for my Hyundai ix20.

Which I'll be fitting to it next March to replace the very timid "meep" "meep" disc, along with a number of other upgrades and additions; when the good weather conditions return; 

It's all going to be documented here: 

Lenny's South Korean Adventure ix20 - General Chat - Ford Owners Club - Ford Forums

 existing standard horn in the Hyundai ix20 according to breakers selling them on eBay looks like this:

and here's how it sounds in my ix20 😄

 

So its being upgrade to a straight swap replacement from AliExpress which has a specific factory plug loom which plugs in to the Hyundai ix20 factory plug then in to the dual tone snails,

However it doesn't have a T-bar to bolt both snails on to the factory bracket,

So ill work on manufacturing a small strip of metal with three holes in it; center one will bolt to the existing bracket instead of the existing horn, then bolt on a snail to either ends,

I do like receiving my newly purchased Pioneer SPH-DA230DAB via DHL today and finding a free DAB aerial supplied in the box along side my purchase; which has saved me around 30euro not having to buy one and has put a smile on my face for the rest of the day as result of the saving,

its going back in the shipping box now and up in to my attic until spring 2022 when the weather improves; ill be taking a week off from work to install it along with a list of other items in to my newly purchased Hyundai ix20,

ill be updating the thread next weekend with pictures of shopping list progress, which should inspire some interest pending the overall finally in spring, I've been ticking a lot of items off the shopping list and the majority of them have arrived now; I'm half way through the shopping list at 1,275GBP spent and the overall plan will be 500 pounds over budget when complete,

but it will be finished very well and I'm looking forward to discussing a few items which are here as well as installing everything in spring 2022, will be a tight schedule to go from completely stock to 2,500GBP worth of modifications applied in one week, but ill do as much as I can within the time posting daily updates every night. 

here's the thread so far: 

Lenny's South Korean Adventure ix20 - General Chat - Ford Owners Club - Ford Forums

 ill post an update on there Sunday evening.

I used to love going for a good walk and going to get back into it.

I see a lot with these trekking poles and i do walk over our fields or on the canal.are they worth getting some.

I do really like that this forum represents a true cross section of the population. Pro vaccine, anti vaccine, pro mask, anti mask, pro Brexit, anti Brexit etc etc. Breaks up the monotony of finding out why our cars won't work! 😁

If I can add to that diverse list; I work in the pharmaceutical industry; hands on manufacturing two parts of the  vaccine and one of colleague's is an anti vaccine 😂 will eventually be outside the gate by Christmas,
