Get my Pretty new car tomorrow!! :j:j
It is Silver not Metallic Blue as they are having bother getting the blue ones, me and 3 others were wanting blue and the garage are not getting any blue ones in until mid to late April at the earliest :eek:
I agreed to take a silver one and after thinking about it I am very glad I have gone for it as I have seen loads of Red and Blue i10's on the road but very few silver ones
I have named my new car Star the Silver Kar as the 1st 2 letters of the Reg plate are SK
I am also driving to Glasgow within an hour of getting it as I am off to see the Stereophonics at the SECC :T:T
Going to have a Wii party when my parents go on holiday in a few weeks time!!
This has not happened as I knackered my back yet again at work and have hardly had a chance to play my wii
Will challenge my dad to some bowling when he gets home 0 -

Also meant to say about my lovely new car - I get free car washing and valetting service and a top up of oil, windscreen washing fluid or antifreeze/coolant for the duration that I have my car. :j
Only stipulation is it has to be a Saturday morning (Not a problem) and I have to phone and book it in (Again not a problem) I am thinking of doing this once a month.

No probs Maria, I do read your diary daily, I just don't always post on it!!
I can take the car every week if I want too - I am picking up my car mats tomorrow as they were out of stock, so I think I will book the car in for next Saturday as the outside is a littel dirty already!!

My above prediction is so wrong
I actually have a viral infection, temprature of 39+, laryngitis, rhinitis, feeling very sick, coughing my guts up continually and generallyfeeling sorry for my self.

Oh no! Poor you. Keep yourself tucked up nice and warm and give yourself a proper chance to recover - otherwise it will just take so much longer. I agree too - that's an amazing service with the car - really impressive!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

A little update on me:-
Still poorly Loos likely I will be off work all week as I still have no voice and my cough is still lingering on - BIG pest really.
Today however I have made the invitations for my Grannie's 90th Birthday party, all I need is her approval and I will start printing and sending them off!
I also decided that I wanted to see how much money I spend each year on my biggest hobby - Speedway - SO I have set myself up a spreadsheet, I will add up everything including Petrol (if I am driving) food/drink, entry and a programme at each meeting. I think the amount I spend is in the region of about £1000 so it will be interesting to see come October what the actual total is and see if there are ways of reducing it for next year!!:T
