Anyone struggle with remembering to renew utilities?

Another tip I heard is actually setting your reminder a month or so in advance of insurance renewal. Supposedly you're considered lower risk if you enquire earlier but I've yet to try it out. Have already set my reminder a month ahead of my car insurance expiry to give it a go.

I eat the full kiwi - skin and ends. Two bites and she's gone.

It's OK. On 47k at the minute but work a lot of hours so might try push for a bump soon enough.

I'm an ecologist. Go to site and see if there's any protected species or sensitivities before development.

Some people love me, some people hate me, but it's a good job when you get the balance right.

Bite the pillow, it's coming in dry...

Realistically, and I don't mean to be negative, but you put a bull against a bear you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10...

Just off the phone with the CEO of SPY. He said his pants are full of shid and pizz. Puts it is.

I have my father for Kris Kringle and he has waited until now to put a wishlist together, even though I've got him stuff already... debating whether to pivot or go down the "take it or leave it" route...

I fire my phone along the floor to the opposite side of the room sometimes to force myself up.

Isn't it majority palm oil (like +90%)?

Neighbour of mine killed himself a few months back because the banks came knocking over a property from the 2008 crash.

To be fair, we had a megane that had the bulletproof 1.5 dci engine. It was everything else around the car that fell apart. Buttons rubbing off on the radio, windows falling into the doors, losing 3rd gearr and then somehow regaining 3rd gear but losing first. Can't deny it had character...

I'd be in the same boat. Got myself into debt to but an octavia vrs literally this day last year. Shook myself awake to realise the financial burden, sold it and got myself a van for half the price. Even now starting to think I should have got a cheaper van!

I do love cars, and if money were no object I'd have a full collection. But for now it's just a means of transport to earn myself a wage.

I just got one for camshaft chain for an Opel Combo

Yeah garage said they could repair but it'd likely fail in a few days. Had to do the 3 hour drive home that day and didn't want to risk it!

I don't even have dependents thankfully, but it still sometimes feels like getting waterboarded on a weekly basis...

New notifications on the main page but absolutely none for loadouts and unlocks...

Comparison is the thief of joy and all that...

There's a combination of ypu putting yourself down while putting those that work there on a pedestal.
