    My back garden, the tiles were filthy and over grown grass, weeds everywhere, luckily it gave me an opportunity to go shopping for equipment:

    Power washer / Lawn mower / Strimmer / Hedge cutter / Leaf blower + sucker

    Ordered 2 patio heaters from Amazon for 70£ each, and they delivered it twice so I ended up with 4 Patio heaters lol, I love Amazon glitches, I must have spent close to 1000£ buying stuff from them so its good to get something extra for free

    Since my daughter was introduced to Geese / Swans / Ducks in a nearby river from our house (5 mins walk), we feed them a lot or drive to Sale Water park where there is a hell of a lot of birds to feed lol so we found that ALDI has the cheapest loafs of bread, only 36P per loaf of wheat bread.

    HK License transferred to UK license and with the addition of TD. Form TD 320 Application for a Certificate of Driving Licence Particulars, my UK license shows that I got my license when I took my test back in 1999, without this form they will just base it on 10 years from when your current license shows expiry date.

    I even got TRIKE motorbike and 50cc motorbike in my car license woohoo, wonder if i can buy and sneak a motor bike into the back garden without the mrs knowing.
