It's Sunday! I'm up early as our bedroom is currently five thousand degrees.

Happy Father's Day for those celebrating. Happy International Picnic Day for those that aren't.

Pop in for a chat.

โ€ฆif you went to costco and didn't bring back a stupidly large pizza, did you even go to costco? /joke

It's cooled down up here in Wigan, so I am loving life right now being able to actually do things around the house instead of stuck on the couch in front of a fan.

Not sure what I'll actually do mind you, always tell myself I'll use my weekends to do housework, move furniture around, work on my website, but I always end up just sitting around doing nothing since I never get enough nothing done during the week, damn work!

The forecast is rain today, hope that's true, it'll bring the pollen down, so I don't have to blow my nose every 3 minutes.

"Hello, and welcome to my planet... this is 'Earth'! Ironically named, because 2/3rds of it is water. The other 1/3rd is covered in grass, that's where people live. I am allergic to grass."

The one silver lining I just discovered... Clamastine (an antihistamine) reverses myelin (fatty shield that surrounds each neuron) damage and appears to be a new tool in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis

Had to scrap my car due to a spectacular MOT failure. But I got a huge crispy bacon sandwich delivered to me in bed this morning so all is well in my world.

Out of interest, did you get a reasonable scrap price?

I was talking to someone the other day that said they got nearly ยฃ1k for theirs. Last time I scrapped anything (years and years ago) I had to pay them to take it away because scrap prices were so low.

I got about 10% of the value I paid for it 11 years ago, and it was 10 years old when I bought it, so I'm not unhappy with that. I also scrapped a Ford Focus about 8 years ago and got about ยฃ35 for it! So yes it seems that breakers are now paying more reasonable amounts than in the past.
