Can I ask why you think you would need to tow a car if you had a PVC, WN?

If we decide on a change it would be a PVC and a small trailer,which would save us Β£650 a year on storage as we could keep the PVC at home so car would go and trailer permanently loaded with long time touring bits ,in the garage

This is what our Swiss neighbour has, itβs mounted on an Isuzu double cab pickup.
Probably not the sort of thing you would want WN

Well, they say luck comes in threeβsπ
Tidy little win on Premium Bonds this monthπ
Tidy little sum of tax to be refundedππ
Just had a glance at Tour of Britain routes for this year for first time. We hadnβt bothered this year as we usually go to watch in Devon/Dartmoor area. So, Day Two, start and finish in Kelso, a mere dozen miles from where we are staying in Borders, drilled down the actual route, and they will be riding straight past lane to our cottage! How good is that? Day Three start is in Berwick on Tweed, a double whammy!πππ

Yes you can TW, feel free.
Because we park in some places, particularly abroad, where we would not feel comfortable going off for up to 6 hours on a walk or cycle and just leaving a M/h parked up. It may seem strange to you but Mrs WN is adamant she wouldn't wish to do it and I can't say I blame her.
We obviously take as many reasonable precautions as we can and there may well be times where we would take the M/h but I wouldn't want to stop going to some remote spots or have to curtail a walk or cycle or nature reserve visit just through anxiety.
Anyway it's hypothetical at the moment and by a bit of distance at that. But with the way caravan manufacturers are getting rid of small 2 berths I can see a time in the not too distant future when this will be likely

Thanks, WN. As I understand it, youβd take the van somewhere and want to leave it a few hours while you walk/cycle from there. In that case, your preference for leaving it on a relatively secure site while you go off in a car makes sense.
I thought you might have doubts about driving/parking the PVC in towns, or wherever, and that really isnβt a problem.
Good hunting!

Well done tda. What good luck!!. We have also had our fair share of luck in recent weeks. OH had a very small win on the Sue Ryder Lottery and then both of us have had a very nice PPI payout each (M&S). Hence the new TV and the new conservatory roof π. Doesnt life come good sometimes π. Just what we need in the midst of a rather anxious time. Enjoy the Tour de Britain π΄ββοΈ

After reading about cleaning venetian blinds, I'am glad I haven't got any.ππ sounds like hard work!
You should get one Helen, see all the fun that you are missing!!
I must be honest here and admit that I only cleaned the tops of each leaf, as the undersides were not dirty. However the saga continues .....yesterday OH decided that we should change the hooks on back-bedroom curtains. It's an "Easyglide" curtain rail which has been up since the "wee man" left Paisley, and so is imperial in size. Of course all curtain hooks are now metric in size, and so it's no longer an "easyglide" system as the extra mm's mean that they won't slide over the wall attachments!!
Fortunately the room is not used as a bedroom, but as a library, well book store really, and my "office" so there's no need for the curtains to be fully drawn.

Happy birthday Trellis, your treat certainly sounded like one. Well done your stepsons.

Well theres food for thought. Thanks Oneputt. Need to do some research and start sowing some seeds π.
I've thought about courses with our motorhome, it's not the size but its 17 years old and driving it is very different to our new qashqai ππ.
Trellis what a great birthday present, I doubt it'll ever be beaten.
Milliehull nice to receive a bounce! Never had PPI Anything on HP, loan etc was interest free and I divided total figure by number of months to pay so never paid over the odds!
Takethedogalong nice to read of good things happening. Never had a sniff on premium bonds π’.

Bakers2. Our PPI was on an M&S store card many years ago. I was convinced that we didnt have PPI on anything but an accountant friend advised us to investigate. Apparantly people have had PPI on bank accounts and mortgages and didnt even realise. It was scandalous.

Best PSB win I had was Β£100 years ago. Since then they've only been Β£25's. I keep hoping for the "Dell Boy" one.

It was slipped in under various guises on cards B2, mostly as "insurance." Nothing to do with paying off cards. I wonder if we've actually seen the end of it.
Got up and watched the Beechgrove Garden this morning...my Sunday morning fix.
Oneputt, I'm glad you had a go on the play equipment. I sometimes do the same if my youngest grandson is here, we have some heavy duty things in our village...they are thinking of installing some proper adult exercise stuff in the future...that will suit me too.

By the way, I ordered a new bathroom blind last night. We don't have any venetian blinds, just a few roller blinds and all this talk of sparkling clean blinds made me take a closer look at one of ours. I blame CT for this extra expense!

Bakers2, it was nothing to do with interest owed. We have always paid any credit or store cards that we had in full at the end of every month. It was when you took the cards or opened a bank account you were automatically agreeing to pay the PPI in case you were unable to pay the money owed for any reason. We would never have signed up for this had we realised as we were both in jobs which gave very good sick pay and death in service payouts. I kept thinking that we would not be owed any PPI as we have never had a loan of any kind so am very grateful to our accountant friend who pushed us into investigating further.
