Don't know if you're all down with this already, but thought it worth mentioning. On the carparts4less website, if you log in and put items in your basket then just close your browser or something, you will get an email a few minutes later saying they've saved your basket items. Big deal, right? Wait another 24 hours and you'll get another email offering 15% discount, with a one-off code to enter, valid for 24 hours, for those items you abandoned.
Just got my step father's Christmas pressie using that trick, only a couple of quid but every little counts. |

I remember the days when the older gentleman of family got a decent bottle of his favourite tipple or baccy or whatever.
I never thought of a pair of brake pads or wiper blades and Magic Tree to hang from the rear view mirror would do the trick.

Does that make you 3 or 4 in the stages of life?
1. You believe in Santa
2. You don't believe in Santa
3. You are Santa
4. You look like Santa

...I think I've transcended stage 4, and now look like one of the elves (or, depending on who's opinion you seek, maybe a reindeer).
(On one of my sojourns North of the Arctic Circle in the motorhome motorcaravan campervan, I called in at the "Santa Claus Village" at Rovaniemi in passing - it was a very short visit! Christmas, bah humbug))

My step father doesn't drink spirits, doesn't smoke, spends all his time fannying about with old cars, earth moving machinery, tractors etc. Tools and fleeces are the things. |

It's OK, you don't have to explain, I was just yanking your chain.

Well I'm delighted he passed on that tip. Now I can get a ratchet set for my F-in-L. Two sets if I throw in his tatty Barbour.
