In my case
Badly needs a wash and polish
MKV lights still aren't flush
Interior needs a muck out
Wheels need a polish
Ahh sod it tommorrow I've got the day off and I'm gonna rip the engine out of the GSE - I'll polish it when I get there

Pack my camping gear in the old girl..thats the car not my mom lol.
wax the polo too
take wheels off and clean them and the brakes
hoover inside out and dump the rubbish thats everywhere
slaughter a corsa driver to the car god so he will stop the damn rain!
then chuck half the crap my sister will have packed in her bag back into her bedroom so it actually fits in the car.
Also my hair needs cutting too as its way too long now i look like a geek
and finally go pick my HM Prison striped shirt up that my mates just smuggled out of hull nick for me
summat cool to wear over the weekend.

Man, my car is in such a state I don't know where to start...
Well, I need to pack, debating whether to stay Saturday night or not as I just don't feel in the mood for camping, thinking it's just the lazyass in my more than anything else. Wondering whether to take the roof rack off or not...
Pack the cleaning stuffs, iPod, PVW and Golf+...

I wiped my car over with a cloth..too idle to wax it.
Blacked bumper and trim with the autoglym green stuff.
filled it with camping stuff.

step one: build a combined time and alternate universe machine
step two: use it to travel back a week, and into a world-line where the car isnt looking like scrap with a squealing gearbox, im not working tonight, and i wont get a piping-hot familial ration of crap for going
step three: charter a crop-spraying plane to do some cloud-seeding over northants and the jetstream pointing towards it for the rest of the week's run-up (means torrentialness in the short term, but dries the clouds out)
step four: profit
well, ok, enjoyment and money-spendage, but you know what i mean

Wet sat but not too bad - just persistantly damp
Surprisingly dry Sunday - just the odd spot to keep those show and shine boys on their toes
What did I forget....... (along the lines of your last post) Portable 12v 360 degree Tent Forcefield - would have ensured I got a full and unbroken nights sleep - I could have lent it to Andy for the Morning too - still at least his tent was the first one packed away
