No excuses!
And ya should have checked the bulbs before MOT!!!
Look mate women are always right! The sooner you accept that the easier your life will be! 
But ya can get one over on them now and again!
How true fella!
I did check the bulbs at the weekend. One of em is the number plate light, works most of the time but sometimes not, a quick thump sorts it. Clearly today it decided not to work. THe other bulb is one of my indicators has burnt too much of the orange paint of the actual bulb and is too white. TBH I checked it in bright sunlight and it looked OK to me.
Ah well not a huge list so I should manage alright.
Not like the mini which needs a lot of work, just been sent the pics and it looks like it's been in a front 1/4 smash, it's a right mess!
