erratic
Hi everyone! It's the most unreliable blogger on AOL! Talk about erratic! I have been very busy and just wanted to say I haven't forgotten you, just been a wee bit harassed!
On my last entry...waaaay back, I was going to look at a new car. Well, I got there and the bloke selling it was having a laugh to say the least! It was a minging old Escort and he hadn't even cleaned it. It was a totally different colour to the nice shiny pic he had online. I was peeved to say the least. I would have been less embarassed driving mine! Although it did have mirrors! Anyway on the way there (well outside my sons local) there was a Rover 600 for sale, so we stopped off to have a look at that and ended up buying it. Dean got him down a bit on the price but we were still £35 short as I had reached my cashpoint limit until the next day. So we leaned over the pub fence and collected the rest off a couple of Deans friends! what a pair of pikeys! he he! So thanks to Dillon and Alan I took it home that night. Well, after my old 1.4 escort which had been labouring a while I all but got whiplash when I first drove this one! It's 2 litre injection so a tad faster. Much more fun going to work now......BUT....tonight it would not start. 3 of the fellas at work and me were in the pouring rain for an hour! sheeesh! Two of them had nice shirts and trousers on as they worked in the office and the other one and me just jeans and t shirts. We were soaked. I bet they will be glad when I retire! I think I have somehow knocked the immobiliser on as it was dead completely. So Dean came and got me and tomorrow its the b****y bus and 2 trains again! I hope my boss will suss it out she is a whizz with cars and bikes, we all ask her bless her!
I must return the nine quid bottle of metallic green t-cut I was going to treat my escort to!
I suppose I should go to bed as I have an early start in the morning...grrr! As I am so behind with you all I will have to cheat and just read the last couple of entries you have made until I catch up AGAIN!
Also I did have another entry on here but accidentally deleted it but unusually for me I had done a copy first so Jan you will have read it already! I was trying to edit a spelling mistake whilst talking to my auntie Wendy on the phone...she is very deaf and I had waited patiently for her to switch her hearing aid to 'phone' then waited for all the beeping and whistling this made and I have to literally shout and she doesn't hear! I know it sounds mean but it is very difficult! I had left a message on her answer phone saying I could not take her to see mum that night because my car was dead...and she kept asking how my arm was and wasn't hearing my answer! She thought my arm was dead! I could feel tension building in me and was trying not to let it show in my voice and deleted my entry! how I chuckled...NOT! Anyway I have finished whinging for tonight, hope to read some of yours by the end of the week, nitey nite, Linda xx
