metamorphing

Hello everyone, how are you all? I am quite pleased with myself as I think I have been keeping up with you (unless I have not had some alerts) In fact now I have said that I will check my side bar after this! Just in case!

I am home today because of my car grrrr! It just died on me and I had a mechanic look at it at the weekend as he had booked it in for an mot on Wednesday. Well, what can I say, he was very kind about it all! It would need loads of welding as the door (sills or seals) have rusted through, the wheel arches and underneath too! I have an oil leak underneath. ( I thought the mess under my bonnet was where I missed with the oil, how naieve) I would need an alternator and the hand brake doing. The list just grew and grew. He advised me that I could get a run around for less than I would have to spend on the work needed and he could not guarantee how long it would last. boo hoo! So I have been online looking at the auto trader and found one I am to look at tomorrow evening. sheeesh! I always have something going wrong. I also wonder how long my mirrors will last on it! I may have to fit it up so it electrocutes people at night! So tomorrow, it will be a walk, bus, walk, train, walk train, walk and Im there, a doddle!

Anyway that is my whinge of the day done.Friday night I unexpectedly had Emily as Dean had forgotten he had an engagement party. He picked her up in the morning. we walked down the Chinese in the evening where she ordered crispy duck pancakes, special fried rice and prawn crackers. She really should not know her takeaways that well!

Rhianna came Saturday morning until Sunday night I offered to take her bowling and buy her lunch but she preferred to go over the common by us. We decided to ignore the rain and went over there twice, and there were still other people as mad as us over there! But we had a lovely time and she still did not want to go home. Sharon, her mum had to pick her up because of the car. We had dried out by then as we came back looking like drowned rats the 2nd time!

Rhianna is 12 now and although she is very grown up and sensible, she could not resist these balloon water bombs! We took them over the common and found a good target for practice! lol
