    You just need to have the key on you somewhere

    Well it's not exactly keyless then... :rotfl:

    I have the remote central locking. Which is rather more of an accurate description.

    Hi there I had a Mazda 2 but sold it as it was unsafe to drive. It developed a fault under warranty and after a lot of visits to the garage, they eventually found a faulty fuel injector after it came to a dead stop whilst going 60mph. It was still under warranty but I had a right argument with Mazda and the threat of legal action before they would fix it (£1000 repair). Same fault occurred 5 months later so I got rid of it. The car was lovely but Mazda customer care is awful.

    Thanks for letting me know :). I have never had any problems with Ford in the 6 years I have owned my 2 Fiestas, so glad I have chosen to go with them now.

    Yeah, think so. It's the most sensible choice in terms of value for money anyway. Can't order it until the end of the month though.

    Went to the free showing of J Edgar last night. Not a bad film. DiCaprio's acting was brilliant. Bit long though. If you see it, be warned, there is an explosion near the beginning that frightened the s**t out of me!!

    We've got 2 free films to see next week - Like Crazy and Carnage. I'm hoping and praying my disabled badge comes before then, or we will have to pay for parking.

    Did a mystery shop this morning and have another 3 lined up this week. One I am doing on the way to the hospital tomorrow. It will pay for my petrol money there anyway.

    OH is away tonight, so I'm going to catch up on my films on the planner - Rango, The Green Hornet and Limitless.

    Managed to watch a couple of films last night - The Green Hornet and Rango. The Green Hornet was okay (reminded me a bit of Kick a$$), but Rango was total rubbish. OH is away again tonight, so I'm going to watch a couple more films.

    Just come back from the hospital. Everything okay, but they are talking about giving me routine IVs every 3 months instead of just when I feel ill. It reduces the risk of infection, so prevention instead of cure I guess. Going back on 23rd April for my annual review - 2 days before my birthday.

    Off to get my dinner as I'm starving :p.

    Off to see OH's parents tonight. Only staying one night thank god. Don't think I could stand much longer. OH is talking about going to New York with them in November. He is offering to pay for me and I would love to go back there (been there 5 times - love the place :o). I guess it would be better than when we went to Spain with them, as we would have separate hotel rooms, so I could escape. Plus I know my way around New York well and could go off on my own during the day sometimes. We shall see.

    Finally heard back from the Mini garage. They sent an email almost a week after I went in to get a test drive. Now, I don't know if they are thick or just plain ignorant, but they addressed the email 'hello Emma'. My name is not Emma, it's Emily. Even my email address, which they would have had to type in order to send me the email, starts with Emily. Totally put me off now. Next time I'm near another Mini garage, I might pop in to test drive one, but can't be bothered to go back there again.

    Received the £10 M&S voucher for my gran's birthday in March. Also emailed about the free valentine's day card that never arrived. They probably won't bother replying as it's a freebie, but you never know.
