Winter workhorse + Health update
- Thread starter N4LLY

North West Surrey
At the summit of the picturesque fens
Got all my junk in the car, so only one trip to the tip necessary 
On way back picked up a new 7ft Christmas tree, fitted with room to spare
(Top tip: Homebase doing 20% off Christmas stuff)
Inconciderate neighbour parked a range Rover next to my prefered bonus parking space :roll:
So had to squeeze in next to the Zed. Bit tight on the near side.

Little update.
Still very pleased with this purchase.
Heated seats: Working.
Memory Seats: Working.
Sat Nav: Working. It found me a new short cut to the tip
This is my first Diesel car, and thought about it, in 40 years motoring this is the first Diesel i have ever actually driven
Ran the tank down low and filled up with BP Ultimate, is this stuff actually worth it ?
Back in the bonus parking spot.

The other residents only visit in the Summer (second homes as they are too poor to have them somewhere nice like Sandbanks or Cornwall). :wink:pvr said:
Nally is the caretaker for the building and gets a flat at discounted rates, but pretends to be something in shipping!

Have seemed to come out of a "Chemo fog" today. Hope i get a holiday from it until
round 2 which start's Jan 10th.
X3 has been faultless so far and felt good climbing into it today. Was well enough to go drive for supplies.
Went the long way round to get proper warmed up etc.
On getting out i was thinking what a brilliant purchase.
Yes, yes i know i could have spent 10 x more and got a 100 x better car, but could not think of one reason why i would want to do that.
So all good 8)

Good to hear the update and a bit of a break, however short.
The x3 sounds like a real good one, unbelievable value for money.
I don’t know what pension arrangements you have, but as you are over pensionable age I thought you could take it in your circumstances.

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better and the E83 is treating you well. How’s this for food for thought:

Good to see you were up to taking the workhorse out Sean, and now have a break in the treatment.
It sounds like your X3 fits the bill too!
Shame I won't see you on B21s March jaunt but obviously you have other priorities right now and I wish you all the best with your treatment.
Given your location and telescope I reckon you might be an undercover Harbourmaster. :lol:
Pensions seem to be a bit of a minefield but I hope you may be able to take yours before State Retirement Age. I did and it's the best thing I ever did.
