Coming out to meet you lot last night has done me the world of good. I woke up this morning strangely calm, without the usual 'I've LOST him' followed by the barrage of tears. I won't go into the details of the adjustments I've made or conclusions I've come to. Who knows, I may slip down that slippery slope again yet...
Right, lets see what I can do. Got dressed, went downstairs and picked up the keys. Tried the boot, that's a lost cause. Tried the driver's door again. Nada. I stood there for a moment thinking. I then went round to the passenger side door a by some little miracle it whined pathetically and unlocked. Now, to try to get some charge in. I went and got my optimate (who knows, bikes and cars both use 12 volt batteries, it may work) and rigged it all up. Just then my neighbour comes out, 'Spot of bother?' 'Yeah, battery's dead'. 'Want a jump start?' We got the car started and I took it out for a run (hoping I didn't get pulled for the state of the tyres). Let's hope it keeps it's charge until I can get it to the tyre place on monday. Stay tuned for 'charge or no charge? and 'operation toilet seat'... |

Stick the optimate on it now!!! And leave it on - If the battery is not too far gone then it should bring it back to life, and keep the battery ticking over.
P.S. Don't lock it!!! |

Have you decided what you're doing on the seat front yet? I personally like the barbed wire option BUT seeing as how you're female and all, I fear the goldfish option may be the way to go :P |

Well, seeing as I'm selling the place barbed wire will be the clincher...
