Happens all the time. You’re not going to conveniently fall next to a pull cord so folk get the ‘Help’ pendant to wear round their neck so if they fall they can summon help easily… and then never wear them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read up on post viral fatigue? It’s very common after an illness and can go on for sometime. You feel a bit better so you do a little of something and are pushed back again.

Catteeclan Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Fitted a new thermostat to an Audi a6 diesel today only to find it's no different. (Engine not getting hot). After a bit of research I've discovered the crafty germans have installed 2 thermostats on this model so tomorrow I will be pulling out most of the stuff I pulled out today, assuming I can get one tomorrow. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah in the West Country that’s foreplay, gotta beat them with a shitty stick, tis the only way to get them moving, you should see the state of my second swimming pool, they think I only use the indoor one and I know they’ve been helping themselves from the fridge, as if bread and water isn’t enough, bloody ingrates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
