The new car

Well, my new car got a clean bill of health with an Excellent from AA. So it was signed up after servicing on Thursday. What a dream to drive after my old bomb. I sold that for $50 minus the stereo which I will one day get put into the toyota. It needs a steam clean and a few touch up's but I'm sure I'll get it done cheaper than the extra $1500 they wanted. It is such a relief to have a better car. I couldn't lock the Mazda, the water pump was stuffed.. it was always stressful going anywhere. I was going to buy a new one earlier in the year but other things got in the way. Now, I can go for a drive and not have to worry about breaking down!
My sister has gone home. We've walked and walked around the shops, she's finished a quilt and fixed up some of my clothes that swim on me, and we've had heaps of laughs. Little sis came on Friday night too so we had all three of us together .. was wonderful. It's quiet now.. that horrible echo you get when you've had company ... but another day off tomorrow for Wellington anniversary so I can catch up with friends and housework and sewing of course. Then back to work for 4 days.. I love it. Work has been so busy, incredibly busy and I have to admit now it was tiring. But I've been better healthwise and only a couple of cricket days (Can't have my mum's crabapple jelly and no lettuce at all!!! grrrr). Still lost another 500g since Friday, so all in all now a total of 12.4kgs since September.
Well I'm off to tidy up and watch the tape of Doc Martin from last night.
