Ouch

Just booked in the new car for an oil change, key battery replacement, sat nav install and investigation into a rattle.

That's the best part of £900 we'll never see again.  Doh!  One of the main reasons of getting rid of the old TT was to avoid a similar bill for tax and new tires.

Oh well.  Easy come, easy go.

Too much

I've either got too much money or too little taste.

I bought this official Metallica coasters set.  Quite pleased they arrived today.

Keeping me company

Felt absolutely terrible this morning on the way into work so had to turn back and go home.  Pretty horrible food poisoning I think.  Massive stomach cramps and fever this morning.  Luckily I had my cats to keep me company.

It's contagious

We're finding out that more and more of our friends enjoy playing board games. I might wait a while before introducing Fortune and Glory and War on Terror.

Incidentally, I won. As if you ever had a doubt.

Change pot savings

Roughly £260 counted,  £232 bagged.  Now I've got to drag it to the bank.

Our back garden

It's covered in daffodils.  Pervious owners must have planted them.

Buckfest photos from Friday

Upgrade

The Kronenburg barrel was getting changed in the pub last week so we had to make do with my favourite beer. Luckily it wasn't my round as this cost an extra £3.

No idea what this says

But it was in the gents loo at our local Chinese restaurant. I like the little thanks at the end.
