    Guessing you've been sleeping with her and her husband then. Jim'll be thrilled.

    Picked my car up from the garage. The exhaust system had snapped, but instead of charging £900 for a new system he welded it up for me for the grand total of £108.

    Dug up a 7ft x 2ft section of our lawn, laid down some railway sleepers and filled it all with top soil. Planted the rose bush I bought my wife for Valentines a few years ago. It has produced two roses in as many years. Hopefully the lavish new homeland I've created it will encourage it to get its rose producing bits into gear.

    Need ideas for two other bush type plants to put in new space.

    I think I've got an old pair of bush speakers somewhere. You could plant them, and see if they can grow into something that sounds okay?

    Its alright thanks. Ingo's mum's got a nice bush that she's offered.

    Snap.

    Current boss was good about it too. All going worryingly easily (so far).

    It's the 18 monthly get new fibre provider time. A new fibre link was recently installed in our street so we are no longer tied to Virgin. They finally offered a best price of £48pm for 1000MB, and even then only after I'd told them twice their offer wasn't good enough.

    So, switched to 4th Utility for the princely sum of £26pm for 1000MB. Virgin will need to update their prices for this area now there's a choice, the monopolising bandits.

    We need to urgently sort new broadband. Been with BT for years and the broadband service has been excellent - seen two of us through home working with video calls, etc, and into the new hybrid world.

    That said, our introductory offer of around £22 a month (from memory) for superfast has crept up to nearly £60 which is ridiculous. We really should have sorted this a while ago.

    We're paying £38 a month for 960MB with Vodafone. The new house we're in has ethernet cable throughout which has been a huge bonus. Get 'real' wireless speeds of around 400mbps on our phones and laptops now, and can always directly plug a cable in for double that when required.

    I bet you don't have a server room and labels on every outlet around the house.

    Bought an air fryer the other day. So far I have cooked fishcakes in it, tonight I will be doing trout fillets. Haven't really figured out what the air fryer does for me that a pan and an oven don't, other than not creating smoke and setting off my excessively sensitive smoke alarm.

    You are me. Except I don't own one yet. I think it does things a bit quicker? Perhaps cheaper too? And is easier to clean?

    Doesn't seem to cook fish any quicker than a pan. Definitely not cheaper than a pan. And not really any easier to clean than a pan.

    I'm sure it has a purpose.

    My top tip is buy a halogen oven instead. Can do everything an air fryer does, and more. And cheaper. Better capacity, easier to clean. Way superior.

    Also get an instant pot (electric pressure cooker). Life changing.
