Re: What have you just bought?
 
A young girl advertised an 8 month female persian chinchilla for £600 in my town on gumtree and petsathome. My mum already has a male persian chinchilla 7 year old. The deal looked too good to be true until I later come to know the owner is relocating to another country at short notice. Anyway my mum was suggesting getting a mate for her current cat some time ago so I got permission and went to go get the 8 month old this morning. I got the price down to £500. She, the kitty came in a gym bag like carrier but for cats which I transported to London. She's like a pillow and her personality is soo sweet.

I had a Dutch friend who for many years was a foster carer for a Persian Cat rescue centre which also rehomed Chinchilla Persians.

The Chinchilla was her favourite and she ended up adopting two 10 year old sisters. After she died her daughter inherited them so they continued to have a slave who pandered to their every wish.

Such sweet loving cats, I envy your mum.

Circlip pliers and a Door Handle Spring Repair Kit (ten 2.5-turn, 2mm thick, 30mm diameter coils plus ten circlips) yesterday, so I’ve spent yesterday evening and this morning replacing eight door handle springs which had broken (we have a six year old grandson who visits/stays over frequently, and the wear & tear on the door handles led to a lot of floppy door handles).

Never done this before, so the first three were a learning curve (some swearing may have been involved), but the next five went quickly.

I often find that as the swearing gets louder, the job gets easier :D

My aunty just traded her TT quattro black edition (can't remember the year, was mkIII though) for a TTs black edition 2023 plate. Last of a kind the TT, no more :( because the maker doesn't see electrifying the car as logical :LOL: they say the RS is a baby R8.

Do you like the styling of your new A3? I have reservations for Audis styling for now. I think better is coming.
