My battery died 2 weeks ago, but nobody I know has jumper cables... Maybe when you get yours started you could come down to Dandenong and fix mine up :) Good luck with everything else

Thanks sherrife. Yeh, the car started after a quick fix to the main fuse late last night. It's actually the car I'm trying to sell. A guy was sending out RACV today to check it out before buying and I hadn't driven it in 3 weeks. The leads are ok. Dandenong's a little out of the way though :)

Grad cert in workplace relations. After struggling through the first 100 pages, I'm starting to get into the swing of it. I'm only doing one subject to start with, so I can see if the brain still works. I've avoided putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) so far, but I'm gonna need to get mobilised.

Oh, and Franki. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lucky all you did was blow fuses. I gave someone a jump start one time, she put the leads on wrong and It fried her wiring. I carry a portable jumpstarter in the boot, bout $50 from supercheap auto. Has it's own built in torch as well. :P

But I do sympathise with the friggin moths. :evil:

Dont be too hard on them Magpie Girl, we were at Brisbane airport on Thursday and most flights were up to an hour late arriving from Melbourne, they may have been on one of those that were late.

Yeah, apparently that was the case. But not to worry, I've calmed down a lot since then! :D
