My camper passed her MOT
It's that time of the year.
She was messed about, prodded,
And lifted in the air.
She's quite a staid old lady
And I would never dare,
To lift her up as high as that
To peer at her underwear.
But everything's in order
She's a certificate here to show
That she is good and ready
For me to tell her where to go.
Morning Mr D. and this is a day of celebration indeed !!😄😄 Scarecrow Sally , and Dolly must be jumping with joy knowing that a full MOT has been given and there's very little stopping you now,to go out galavanting!! 😂😂😂. It's another Mr.D. Classic for sure!!!!!
Well I don't think they'll get over excited by their first trip which will be in a few minutes to Tesco Extra. 😉 It's going to be Monday before we set-off for further pastures.
Hears to happy Monday's😀🚐
In the words of Willie Nelson you'll soon be On The Road Again.
I had Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen playing in my head while I was reading Don’s post 🏜🚐
Well done Mr D and a fine looking camper van she is. Im sure that you will be out and about as usual with Midge wanting a run on the beach or maybe a walk x
The camper is looking quite good for her age (17 this year), I treated her to a bit of a make-over recently. Midge is 12 so doesn't do as much running as she used to do, but she likes finding new things to sniff. 🙂. I just sit there drinking coffee and reading my paper.
🚐 Roll on "as well as you can for as long as you can!" Best wishes and prayers for travel mercies! J
Thank you, that's very kind of you. 😊
Looking very smart Don
🤗
You must have nerves of steel Master Po,i have to be at least a mile away from an MOT testing station whenever my most recent chariot needs to go through the ordeal and i know that feeling of relief when they hand you a certificate with the word PASS on.
Happy travels...................Ski's and Scruff's x
I have a pretty good arrangement. Two brothers, one does only serving and the other only MOTs, so I have it serviced first and then MOT'd so never had a fail yet. Sometimes the cost of the service includes a repair job.
Can't fault you,the best of both worlds and you know you are not going to be ripped off. 
xx
That's what I like to do too. The service usually irons out any problems.
Actually I've just remembered that I did have a bit of trouble last year with the MOT, the brothers disagreed as to whether she needed a bit of welding done on her chassis. I told them if there was the slightest doubt I wanted it done. This year the pass report advised new front tyres shortly which I planned to have renewed before winter anyway. She does very well for a 17 year old. 😉
What very good news Don so where are you off to? Xxx
I don't think I can manage long trips now so will probably start in North Wales. I would like to get to Cornwall one more time. Margaret and I used to spend a lot of time in Perranporth and I've never yet missed my annual visit to my son's apple tree near Dorchester. His friends planted the tree over his ashes in a little garden in front of what used to be his office. He grows some pretty good tasting apples. I shall just play it by ear and see how I get on, it gets harder each year. 😉
I’m sure you’ll do whatever you’re able to do Don. You take care and maybe enjoy an apple or two. Xxx 😘🥰
Lovely! You have passed your MOT too. xx
It's a pity I couldn't get myself refurbished along with the van last year. 😅
Well I will lift you high and look at your underwear if you like Don! 😁💖💖 xx
Ha!ha! this made me laugh x
I bet that would revitalise me.😂
Happy travelling Don❤️X
Thank you Kitty. I'd send you a card.....but the cost!!!😱
Just what the doctor ordered. I was getting myself stressed out with problems with the replacement garage, the smart meter and not breathing well due to humidity today. I got quite a laugh, made me relax. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad. It's easy to let things get on top when they all happen at once. Finding something to laugh about is the answer. 😉
Over the hill please to the S&K pudd.
Love to you both
Kate xxx
Are you on standby? 😀😍
Happy traveling have a lovely time.😊🍯
Glad to hear your back on the road again.....enjoy xxx
I needed a laugh today, so thanks. My first vehicle was an A40 Van, no windows in the back £25.00. This was before the MOT. only discovered, when I took a friend up Ilkley Moor, that the drivers seat was held down with bent meat skewers at the centre back only!! As the seat tilted backwards and I was holding my feet down to the pedals by gripping the steering wheel (praying it did not come off), I sent a few prayers up, very little traffic, so slid gently backwards down the hill, and my frien and I decided we would not tell her parents what had happened. She was fine for motorway journeys, had a friend put meat skewers in to bend round the front of the seat fixture. She lasted 2 years, good value for money.
From one happy camper to another well done and enjoy your travels.
I am seeing my surgeon on Monday at the new Papworth Hospital for the results of my lung surgery carried out at the old site. Will be very interesting to have a look round. Hoping for the all clear, fingers and everything crossed so that we can take off in our Motorhome somewhere hot.
I shall have my fingers crossed for you also. 🤞 Enjoy that hot spot which I'm sure you will find.😊
Catching up Don, Missed a lot on here Yesterday. Could you please stop off in Nottingham and pick me up for your Travels, You never Know I may stay on Mersey Side with all my Memories. The camper Looks Brilliant and of Course her Under things are reliable to get you on your Way. Happy Travels Don with the Apples & your Son. maybe leave a Big Bunch of Flowers from all of us Here. Midge will be The Best Companion/Friend XXXX
I'd be happy to pick you up any time. 😘 You would notice a lot of changes here in Merseyside if it's been a while since you were last here. x
I Know Don, I was in The Widnes area for my Bro's 60th 18 months ago and got lost on our way home to Nottingham (5 hours), I didn't recognise anything. I was Probably in Manchester by Then. Ha Ha . But yes, you can still pick me up. XXXXX
Maybe we should get Don to do a massive tour of the whole country, pick us all up in his camper van and we’ll all stop off someplace and have a huge party together. 😎
Sounds Like a Great Idea Hun, I'm in. xxxxx
That's great, you can now go off on your travels x
The camper looks dandy - all set for her(?) travels with her crew. Enjoy your adventures. x
Brilliant news, now to make more memories in her. 💛👱🏻♀️💛
I think I'm likely to stick to well trodden paths and not too far away. But you never know, perhaps with the encouragement of Midge and my two knitted friends, once I hit the road I might be fired up to seek out new adventures in far away places. 🙄 Loaded up like a chemists shop with medication and resuscitation equipment.😅
Refusing Lung Transplant
Very much just for fun 💛💚💙🩵
