Today started a bit badly but now we’ve knocked off the night and all is well. We were up bright and early as we needed to have the caravan at the repair place by 9am. However when Vince went out to start the car, the engine would turn over but it wouldn’t start. So we rang for a mechanic and told the repair place what was happening.
However before the mechanic arrived Vince had been on the internet and with YouTube helped he was able to reset the computer and so we cancelled the Roadside Assist man. We were less than an hour late getting the caravan to town and it is now home again with its new awning and soon we’ll be going to bed between our nice warm fleecy sheets.
The photo is taken from the other end of our Ikea wardrobes. I can’t get it all in one frame. You can see two mirrored doors at the far end then there is a section without a door then two more doors at the near end. The last door took us a long time to hang yesterday but it is done now and we’re super pleased. I’m expecting Vince to keep his clothes tidy now.

I am sure it is a good feeling to get that done considering your day didnt start off so good. Have a wonderful sleep in your nice warm comfy bed.

@JudyEv - Ha ha! I saw on our local news that a college guy has started a small business to pay his way through college. He charges $20 an hour to send college kids to your home to do small jobs for you, like helping with your computer problems, hanging pictures, rearranging furniture or putting together IKEA furniture. The students make $15 an hour and the guy who started the business keeps the difference. I think he is brilliant! I would happily pay $20 an hour the next time we buy something from IKEA!

@DeborahDiane I know many 'grown-ups' who could use a clever young person to program mobile phones, VCRs etc. Vince was having troubling just answering his mobile and went looking for 'someone young' to tell him how to do it.

Thank you. Now I need some more clothes so I can fill it up! But I'm just joking really.

@sunrisefan We have loaded the motor-home. It will be interesting to see what we've forgotten and what we don't need.

oH nice closet!
I'm happy Vince got it figured out about the car.
Does the garage come to you over there? That's cool.

@FayeHazel The car played up again today so we're staying home now till we get the problems sorted. We thought we'd have to be towed home but luckily it didn't quite come to that.

@JudyEv Wow. Nice. I have roadside plan. For certain things they'll come out , but mostly they tow you to your garage of choice.

Very classy looking! I figured Vince for a guy that always kept his clothes "tidy."

@JudyEv Since I avoid all that sort of "work," it never occurred to me. If I must get my hands soiled I do put on "yard jeans" and old flannel shirt.

@JamesHxstatic Well done you! Vince is in yard clothes but if he changes to go out he seems to have an antipathy to changing back again when he gets home!

Haha. You figured very wrong there James! I am continually at him to change his 'good' clothes before he goes off doing odd jobs or 'work'. He has no conception of how difficult it can be to keep good clothes clean if he persists in wearing them chopping wood or changing oil or whatever.

It looks very nice. I'm sorry the car wouldn't start this morning. Glad he figured it out without roadside assist.
Have a good trip in your new outfitted caravan.
You think he's going to be neat now, after all these years? Maybe for a couple days until the newness wears off.

@kobesbuddy This is correct. The car is still playing up so it's a mechanic this time.

@JudyEv And the actual purpose for the computerized system, so we can't fix it ourselves! We are forced to use an expensive auto technician

Your completed wardrobe looks wonderful. I especially like that it has mirror doors.

Thanks. We didn't have a full-length mirror before so it's nice to have one now.

That looks lovely and neat. I've seen those Ikea wardrobes in the store but nice to see one actually installed.
