Not as yet, but I need to pull the PSU and see if they've been done or are waiting for their big entrance!

Well, it seems like I may be resorting to very short or no posts here during the next week.

I've had to dash up to the NorthWest again due to my elderly parents both having been admitted to hospital.

Very frustrating, though I got here after an uneventful drive and dinged my car on their gatepost due to being knackered after a sudden 260 odd mile drive :(

Oh well, it's just a car, Mum and Dad are more important.

Yep, more important things in life than cars. Hoping your parents get better soon.
