Well my repair kit doesn't have any strips left so I just left it to deal with on another day! Screw is bang in the centre so should be easy enough to repair. Could stick the spare wheel on but can't be fooked!

Ohhhhhh, I shudder at the thought of the Boss's face if I changed a wheel. The tyre fitters (outside company) earn a fortune, especially from the X5's, because of the amount of hard shoulder running we do, loads of rubbish in the rumble strip gives us loads of punctures.

We had to abort an Op last month because one of our 330's came up with a puncture warning light (then use runflats) and the emergency call out firm didn't carry spares. I tried to get them to buy one spare wheel which we could keep at the garage but even then they said I'd still have to call out to get them to change it! Ridiculous!

Put your thong on back-to-front?

Today I learnt that kids will eat brocolli if you tell 'em that they can only have their birthday pressie once it's all gone.

I also learn that said kid is devious and flushed his brocolli down the loo when I wasn't looking

today I learnt that me and drew should not buy an apartment as they are to small for the amount of crap we have, plus we may out grow it within a couple of years anyway!

So the new plan is to wait another year and save a bigger deposit and then buy a two/three bedroom house!

Today I learnt that passion can cloud your time reading abilities thus rendering you naked in bed with your partner with your Ex-husband ringing the doorbell waiting to return the children.

I also learnt that trying the line "just taking a nap" doesn't work when you have stubble rash and look like a wet T-shirt competition entry cos you have no bra on!!!!
