Phillip Schofield almost every ad break on the tele. It winds me up because if you've ever dealt with Webuyanycar.com, you will know it's like a legal scam. They price your car up at under market value. You think, O.K., I'm willing to take less to quickly get rid of the car with less hassle. But when they come around, the guy goes over your car with a fine toothcombe, picking out every little scratch and bump. Pulling the car up on normal wear and tear. Then will say it doesn't sound right, even if it does. By this stage, he's then knocked over third off the already low asking price. Then he goes into sales pitch mode, trying to persuade you to take the p take offer. When you say no, he goes on and on and on, with pressure tactics. I needed fast money at the time, like a lot do, but sent him packing. I got a fair market value price later that week, which was more than their first offer, and over a Thousand more than their final offer. They should be called, WeBuyAnyCarAtaRidiculousLowPrice.com. It's been reported that they never buy your car at that first already low offer on the phone or internet, no matter how good a condition the car is in.

Agreed the already low price is never honoured.A fella I knew kept his car in very good condition and when we buy man had finished you would have thought this car was a complete wreck with his notes and new price

Yes. They write as many long winded notes as possible to make out the car is worse than it is. Loads of notes even for micro scratches. Any scuff on the wheels and they tell you the wheel has to come off, along with the tyre, to have a complete wheel refurb. Even tho it's normal to have a wheel scuff or two on an older car. If you have four wheels with scuffs, you can see how he can quickly knock a large amount off your asking price. They probably don't repair the wheels anyway.
 
Another crap Sunday night's "sleep", every week without fail it's the same and I can't break the cycle no matter what I try.
 
Replacing the rope on the wood burner, messy job not helped by ridiculous small amount of adhesive supplied with the kit, trying to squeeze every drop out to eek it out.

Our cat went missing about 6 months ago. We finally got him back last Monday. He's old and got lost because - according to the vet - he's suffering from dementia and forget where he lives. The vet also suggested we don't let him out again because he'll just get lost again.

Since then he's been pretty much confined to the utility room until he learns to use a litter tray. Needless to say he hasn't shut up. And I'm not just talking about the odd mew, I'm talking about full on screaming because he wants to go out to do his business. This has been 24 hours a day for the last 8 days and nights. I haven't slept so little since my kids were babies and needed feeding during the night.

Jeez, you're a better man than me Kimosabe. I'd be down the vets for a final goodbye.

MK Jnr has been promised a new kitten before Christmas - our utlility room, which used to be a seperate room, no longer exists (it's now an extension of the kitchen) and any cat will have free reign to roam the house...and jump on my head at 2am. NOT looking forward to it.

He's not my cat, he's my wife's. She's had him longer than we've been together. Any decisions are hers to make. The boys would also be extremely upset...

Close the kitchen door...assuming the fridge isn't in the way.
