I went to bed very early last night and even then I couldn’t get up early this morning. As I was rushing through the breakfast for the dog and Sickie, getting the house work done and getting ready when I noticed my car – fully frozen!

With the cup of coffee that I hadn’t even touched yet, the dog lead in the other hand for her to have a quick walk around and the tin of De-icer I marched to the car park. There I am looking at what the dog is doing, trying to have a sip at my coffee and spraying like crazy on the car windows. The dog has the habit of eating her chicken breast breakfast and going outside picking up the stale half eaten pies left by the drunks the night before, so I was more than prepared to shout at her given the chance. A carer walked passed to go to the elderly neighbour’s house. I muttered to her, Morning! Isn’t this de-icer stuff useless, it’s not doing anything? She agreed wholeheartedly. That is when I looked at the can to see the brand and noticed it said “Cockpit Shine”! Not my fault. Both tins looked same. Both were blue and rusty!

It took me twice as long to clear that frost and now all my car windows have smudges and the streaks that need cleaning with a glass cleaner I suppose. At least the window cleaner spray doesn’t look similar to Cockpit shine!
