Busy afternoon. Went over to the new flat to see about fettling the Super Monkey Car; it's SORN so it'll have to be brought over here, but it would be nice if it could at least get on to the lowloader under its own steam ![Smile](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
But on the way, I remembered I needed some bits, so I continued on to the retail park. Mayhem over there, but I managed to get a space right outside M&S by sheer luck, so I was able to get my mum's present (a gift card, I have no idea what she wants but she spends lots with M&S).
Then over to Sainsbury's for a rather odd shop, as I didn't need much while everybody else in there was going Christmas mad. But one thing I've realised about having a dishwasher is that you need more teaspoons and probably just more cutlery generally. So I bought a Habitat cutlery set that was on special offer.
Also, there's a box of six assorted beers including Pedigree and Hobgoblin and other nice ones which is on special offer: two boxes for £16, so around £1.30/bottle. Not an earth-shattering bargain but worth the investment IMHO![Cheers](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/cheers.gif)
And then various bits of cleaning stuff, as I need to leave some such stuff at the old flat so I can clean that.
Anyway, once that was done, back to the old flat and to work on the Super Monkey Car. I regret to say that I've been rather neglectful of it, but with judicious application of WD40 and various tools, I was able to confirm that the battery doesn't have enough going for it. So I need to get yet another new battery, or maybe some jump leads and see if it can actually be started first![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
I'm still hoping to get it here in time for Christmas though![Oh Well](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/ohwell.gif)
Speaking of which, I saw a Crouch Recovery heavy wrecker, brightly illuminated with orange lights![Yay](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/extras/17.gif)
Now watching the car programme (an Audi S4 Avant) as I'm no longer restricted to the +1 channel.
