Is that the 6610 you bought from parris?
Yes but they are standing behind it, smallridges had all desiel tank off this morning you could fill bottom of a 5g bucket with the slime sand thats come out. Starter changed and bit of work to do to gearbox controls. Tractor is very tidy, non of the issues you would of known about intil doing a days work. They delivered within hours of pay for it, if tractor comes good then would def buy again from them.

Pipe burst in the house 3 inches of water everywhere.

rubbish

Ran over the dog with the quad bike

Double rubbish

Living in a caravan with 2 young children and an oversized over energetic Labrador

Triple rubbish.

On the bright side we will have basically a new house on the inside as the water went everywhere.

The dog got away without anything broken on a scrapped bone leaving her on bed rest for atleast 10 days ( looks like number 2 is going to have to learn quick!)

And we’re getting paid to stay in the caravan for loss of income so just going to try and make it seem like one long 2 month holiday.

Weeks like these ey. Tomorrow’s got to get better
