    yes this is the new car! It needed a service but also the engine management light came on. Luckily it has 12 months warranty so if its anything major it should be covered.

    Think I might call them, I mean they have had it since 9am this morning!

    Just a quick rant - I bloody hate it when my !!!!ing sister comes round. I really do its like I don't exist. and Mum has such a good time with her.

    You all know how much I have hated going to work (for ages now!!) so when we got sent home today I was SO happy. Mum's first words upon me arriving home "oh(but) ******* is coming round later" Not oh that's nice you are at home No, just don't interupt the great daughter visit. Christmas was actually !!!!ing !!!!!, but I don't expect any more, I had a great Xmas eve and NY eve with my friends and I try so hard to be a good daughter but it will NEVER make any difference cos she is perfect and I am not. they are both doing a cross word now its as tho I am not here. and they have turned the bloody tv off

    in fact I have come to the conclusion my sister has no personality, she just pretends around my mum/whoever

    evidence for this?

    1. when she has coffee at home she drinks it totally differently to when Mum makes it cos that is the way mum makes coffee (big faff involving a mircowave AND a kettle.........)

    2. Just now (before crosswordness) I slagged my neighbour off and (whilst Mum was away) she agreed with me on how weird he is, Now today - Mum had a go at me for being mean and she agreed with Mum!!!!!!!- ignoring the fact that she agreed with my (identical)criticisms of him before.

    I absolutely cannot stand it. I try and think it doesn't matter but sorry it does.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Snowed out of work...................UNTIL MONDAY:j:beer::j:beer:
    I have never know the building closed for a full day never mind two.

    I am not driving anywhere in the next couple of days if I can help it, almost ended up mounting the curb on the way home from work as a car skidded infront of me and did a spin and the only place to avoid them was to swerve around, no chance of stopping:eek:

    Scary..........I have PJ's and dressing gown on and may remain in them until the snow dissapears:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
