Ha ha! Think we'll work it out between us eventually :rofl2:

Do you want another "boot full of more buckets of soil" picture or leave it to your imaginations? :P

Loaded up again just trying to work out when best to go (for minimum busyness!) was rammed 15 minutes after opening time this morning!

Methinks the ladder should be lime green as a safety feature!! :-D

Thanks for the link, but since we've "got the brush warmed up", Sarah's chosen to make the steps purple too.

Blue 308 SW fill up:

514 miles, 134.7 PPL, £52.87. 39.25 litres = 8.6 gallons
Hence 59.5 mpg = happy with that, especially as quite a few short (tip) runs as a part of that!

:)

Oh, and "Electrical system fault, gave vehicle repaired" has made a reappearance this morning. Diagbox session tonight (assuming it gets me home! :lol: )
