I feel your pain. a suspension spring broke on my camper just before MoT. £90 for the spring and £130 + Vat for fitting + MoT
It's a lengthy and messy job to dismantle the suspension, fit the new part and reassemble it. They may have to check and adjust wheel alignment.
 

My daughter and I spent the afternoon together... picked up younger granddaughter, made Walmart run, dropped off groceries at the house then picked up older granddaughter from school. On the way home (don't ask me what brought this up...) granddaughter says, "When I die I *do not* want to be cremated. I want to be able to look down and see my beautiful face. And I want pizza and cookies and candy served at my funeral; I want people to be happy, not sad." My daughter and I were smiling surreptitiously

Then she added, "And no crying and carrying on... I don't want to have to put my funeral on mute!"

My daughter and I deserved an academy award for not busting out laughing!

OMG! Too funny and precious! How old are your granddaughters? I'm thinking what brought this up in your granddaughter's mind is all these school shootings. We didn't have to even think about things like that when we were in school. Now these children are seeing how often it's happening and they may keep silent, but it has to have some kind of effect on them. Anyway...ya know...the Oscars are coming up. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

@OneEyedDiva, my grandgirls are 8 and 11. I didn’t even think of news of school shootings as a source. Neither my daughter nor I have a tv

I am playing a caretakers role today,
Two houses across the road (one belonging to a certain lovely lady) are having full fibre broadband installed, and I will be overseeing the work while the house owners sun themselves on some foreign beach.
The plus side is I get to have as much of their tea as I can consume. 😊

I'm glad I'm rid of cars, and the population gave a sigh of relief when I did, so it's taxi's and buses for me now Holly, unless I can cadge a lift off someone.... you wouldn't be going anywhere near Inverness next week would you. 😊

I forgot I need to get a bus down to the garage.. and I was all ready to just leave then I remembered I had to look up bus times.. :D so I have another 30 minutes before the bus comes.. blokey still hasn't rung back with the price... but anyway.. it's coming up to noon, and I just had a call from Specsavers to say my sunglasses are ready.

They're in London, so I need to go and get the car PDQ and drive over there...

"Does that mean we are going to Inverness next week, Holly?" 😊
 
Had a root canal fail over the weekend. The pain was unbelievable but I am hoping and praying the antibiotics I started yesterday are finally starting to work. The ibuprofen and Tylenol would work for a little over 4 hours. Having surgery next Tuesday to remove all the expensive junk previously installed so more expensive stuff (an implant) can be put in.
