Took the van back to the engineers to have the axle replaced...finally. He told us that it was bent and needed to be replaced before Christmas, but couldn't get the part until today. So we have no van in the yard at the moment, but we are still here. Think that might play with some of the neighbours minds? They saw us leave with van this morning, returned while they were at work, so will be watching what weird things happen when they think we aint here.
goodnight everyone xxx
