Jan. 1st, 2008 05:18 pmWell, THAT was a great start to the new year!!
I went out to my car this afternoon to go to Starbucks and satisfy my coffee craving and the bl**dy car wouldn't start! Not a spark of life in it. Nothing. Zilch.
This is where parents are very useful. I borrowed dad's car to get my coffee, and then he came out to jump start mine.
Except we couldn't find the jump leads. THREE cars in this household, and did any of them have a set of jump leads? Of COURSE not!!
So, I snaffled dad's car AGAIN to go and BUY some jump leads from the garage (luckily they had some) and then we got the car started, finally, in the dark, and the cold. And then I had to drive round for a bit to charge the battery up. So it works again now, which is good, but it's a damned good job I decided I needed coffee, because otherwise I'd have gone out to the car tomorrow morning to go to work, and been totally screwed, because dad would already be at work, and I'm not insured on mum's car so I wouldn't be able to borrow that, and we'd not have had any findable jump leads and I'd have been VERY late for work!
Still not quite sure how the battery got flat. The only thing I can think is that I somehow caught the switch for the interior light when I put my new tax disc in last night. Grrr!!
Oh well, tis all sorted now, but is this a bad omen for the coming year?

Feb. 25th, 2007 09:37 pmI'm now coughing up great clods of gunk which seems to be breeding in my throat....
(I'm SOOOO sure you all wanted to know that!)
I have also regressed to my childhood and am watching Tom & Jerry cartoons.
(this is after having crashed out and slept for about 4 hours.....)

Aug. 11th, 2006 04:24 pmOkay, just did this and I actually got the year I was born! How weird!
| You Belong in 1978 |
If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day. 1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good! |

I am a VERY happy bunny!
For the last six months my computer has been the spawn of the devil, and has denied posessing a sound card or USB ports. This meant I couldn't print, upload photos from my camera, play music, watch DVDs etc etc.
I thought I was going to have to reinstall windows, and lose all my files etc, but thanks to Darren (AKA Mr![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
weird_bird ;)) and my dad, I've managed to sort it by running the repair program on the windows disc, so now everything works again, and I haven't lost any files!!!!
*bounces muchly!!!!*

Nov. 29th, 2005 04:17 pmWell, I've been told I have to update, so I am.
I went to the bank to pay my credit card bill, and stopped on the way home to get petrol, and as I came out of the petrol station I was abducted by aliens in a flying saucer. It was fun.

Do you read me?
If you read me on a regular/semi regular basis, leave me a comment and let me know.
Then post this in your journal and find out who reads you. You'll be surprised how many different people read you, and you never know who you might become friends with.
