    It pays in the long run. You will notice you will get much more KM / Litre from your fuel when you have new tires. So a low thread is not just dangerous - but is costing you money. I have to change all our tyres over to winter tyres soon. 12 Tyres in one weekend, ouch.

    Most of what I would watch on TV would be via my Media player so it's TV shows that I've gone to the trouble of getting like Breaking Bad, The Wire etc. or movies

    Either way I figure it's better than watching bad TV like Eastenders and avoiding ads!

    You should sell that TV Bluey and spend the money on candy, gloooooorious CANDY!

    True, unfortunately, in the short term, I'm broooooke.

    Will get them done in 22 days when I'm paid....how I'll last is anybodys guess!

    I must check my tyre tread

    You might do well to do an actual course, I find I absorb it pretty well in those, lots of group work is helpful. I like languages though

    It was a crappy argos tv anyway so I don't think I'd get much candy out of it :p

    You'll be glad to hear I can nearly walk again today :p

    Yup, £65 each for 2 Bridgestones, supplied, fitted and balanced. Getting them done up home at the weekend.

    I don't bother with winter / summer tyres. Never have done and never had an issue.

    If your tread is low (under 1.6mm) you'll fail NCT, anything under 3mm will be a pass advisory ("we'll pass you but get those fixed soon").
    I'd say they're about 2mm but my car passed the NCT while I had the cast on - nothing mentioned in the report so I can assume they were above 3mm then - they look fairly bad atm is all I know.

    How long do tyres last roughly? Obv depending on the type of driving but how many km say?

    Depends on what the tyres are and how you drive, probably about 60,000km?
    Yeah makes sense so, I've put 30,000km or so on the car since I got it and two of the tyres were new when I got it so the others should be going about now.

    How bad, need to look after my car this weekend properly - needs to be washed, hoovered and given some love

    I scratched the back of my car back at the Galway beers and still haven't got around to fixing it. That'll cost another good few hundred. :(

    Car costs me a bloody fortune.
    Only if it's an expensive car though :)

    Ford are so common that you'll pick up parts easy....unless you need them quickly as was my case when the alternator went €400 I could do with right now :(

    Asked O2 UK how much they want from me to cancel my contract.

    300 euro. Just had to laugh.
    :eek: That's utterly stupid! Is there any other way of cancelling the contract?


    Think I've another 6 with Meteor left, might look to leave them after that, could get a discount on vodafone seeing as I use them for home phone

    Nah.

    They just take my tariff multiplied by the number of months left. Mines over in July next year so will just keep it til then I guess.
    Balls,

    Therein lies the danger of tying yourself down to a contract, although it's so much handier than being pre pay!

    It's one less thing to be worrying about I find, was abroad recently and it's refreshing to not have to keep an eye on what calls were costing etc.

    Not really an option with my current schedule. Nowhere to fit it without giving up something more important and German is just something I have added for the fun. If I ever need to cut back and time save I think it would be the first to go.

    Went to type 'morning'...typed Monday instead, then I realized it was Friday once again and all was well in the world :)

    Went to the gym last night - I feel like my arms are about to fall off!

    How's all, any plans for the weekend?

    I was supposed to have pilates tomorrow morning but it booked out in about 5 mins :confused: So I am on the waitlist but I don't know if my friend is yet. How annoying. Massage tomorrow afternoon anyway. out tonight for friend's birthday / moving to USA thing. Rest of weekend will be reading my new books, studying, learning german, catching up on NaNoWriMo, walking the doggy.
    Possibly trying to fit in some exercise if I find a good class somewhere as I have more catching up to do than I thought

    I just ordered a cookbook on the bookdepository sale and another book from the bargain bin, I need to give it a rest... :o

    If you like. It would not be the first time. I mentioned that I was throwing a big house party on another thread a few months back and a couple of people from here actually did crash it. They seemingly drove around maynooth using a few clues from my older posts as to what my general location was - saw/heard the party - and just strolled in.

    They were made welcome :)

    So if you can find us you are welcome to come along but youre on your own with the finding us part hehehe.

    Re: your pilates situation: This is what I say to that!


    Where is this place you're buying books? I have a number of them to read but Christmas will be the only time I set aside for that - or whenever I have the sitting room to myself again.

    I might hit the gym tonight and do some lower body and cardio, then do another weights session Saturday.

    Friend thinks we could do yoga tomorrow if not pilates, might do it. Prefer something strenuous though

    bookdepository.co.uk. If you buy through fatcheese you get 3% cashback also

    Berlin flights and hotel booked o/

    Nice! Really want to go to Berlin. Yoga mightn't be a bad call - you'll be all limber and chilled out before your massage :)

    Just booked flights to London myself - via Ryanair - rushed through booking it and ended up booking the wrong time for flying out, tried to change it - didn't have enough in my account to pay the fee, cue scramble for parental credit card details and ringing Ryanair to change it.

    Thankfully it's sorted but at €30 more than it should have been and I now have a headache! :(


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Randall Low Wig


    Yeah maybe we could do the yoga.
    doing *something* would be good anyway

    How much did it end up being? london should be cheap enough. I ended up adding the checked bags to my ryanair thing in case I do christmas shopping and stuff. Bring back cakes and things :D

    Nice idea actually. Costing €80 return now, should've been €55 only for my blunder :( Still, I'm fine with it, a few quid less for drink in my next paycheck which is no harm :) - it's to Stanstead so there's the cost of the train to factor in too but I'll worry about that closer to the date.

    how much is Berlin setting you back if you don't mind me asking?

    With the bags and all the feckin fees, 180 return
    for a weekend near christmas, I reckon that's not bad
    AL was 330 before bags :rolleyes:
