Creepy crawlies was busy, because of course it was polling day and some schools were closed. Still, it wasn't too bad and we had a fun, if exhausting, couple of hours. We both crashed when we got home ( Read more... )

I'm slowly getting used to driving the Mariva, its still very new, but I love the high driving position. I'm not terribly keen on the stiff suspension or the sharp breaks, but I'll get used to them ( Read more... )

We went out and looked at lots of cars yesterday, but nothing really grabbed us. I still like the Mariva. Apparently we haven't got our deposit back yet either, useless gits! Some of the Skodas look interesting though, and are a lot better designed then anything Ford had ( Read more... )

We didn't get the new car yesterday, they had it down as being delivered yesterday, not Tuesday, which isn't what our paperwork says. There was also some difficulty with the week's free insurance they are supposed to provide. I am very un-impressed and tempted to just cancel the whole thing ( Read more... )

I am getting fed up of being so clumsy! Its not good when you work with hot things and lots of glass, and could be really dangerous if I get to play with the weapons this weekend! I might actually get out and about as I have a booking clerk. Yay! He'll be useless in the morning as its too busy, but I can get out of the box in the afternoon and ( Read more... )

We need to get a new one before VAT goes back up, the economy picks up, and our old one drops to bits! We need a larger, estate car, so we can fit beer barrels, puking cats and all the other crap we carry with us in it. Lib and ( Read more... )

Lib came over early for a cup of tea and a poke around the new room, then I rang the garage at 16:30 to see if the car was ready. They replied that it was and they were just about to ring us, so we hopped in her car and drove over. It wasn't ready, as none of the paperwork had been done and they grumbled about us being there too early! I also don't ( Read more... )

I can't move the railway until I've taken the door off the landing, and I can't do that until the building inspector has been, so thats that then ( Read more... )
