This weekend was a pretty quiet one actually – which I think we both needed! Friday evening we didn’t do much – just watch the usual selection of TV. I like the fact that QI is back 🙂 On Saturday we did a bit of shopping. We bought ourselves a new Kenwood food processor and…

Well, I’ve now got 27 people watching the auction! Not only that, but someone has made a bid. Yay! So, if you’re interested in a Hyundai Lantra, now’s your chance 🙂 At the time of writing there are 3 days, 22 hours left on the auction. Get it while you can! 😉

No, not my Grandma. The book. You can have a browse inside it here – some of the pictures are genius! 🙂

Yesterday morning, we got up relatively early and took the train down to Orpington to pick up our new car. Everything went smoothly, we picked up the keys and transferred all the documents in about ten minutes, and then it was ours to drive back. Exciting stuff! We had lunch with Philippa’s parents, and then…

Squier used to be cheap knock-off copies of Fender guitars… now they are expensive knock-off copies of Fender guitars! Just kidding. Apparently it’s one…

As I mentioned in the previous post, we we looking at buying a second-hand Saab 9-3. I was just waiting on the insurance premium quote to come back. Anyway, I did get the insurance quote back and it was OK, so we called up and made an offer on the car. We said we would…

First all, let me say – happy 2009! I hope it is a good year for you 🙂 Well, the past few days have gone by pretty quickly. Last Sunday, Phil and I travelled down to Kent to stay with Phil’s parents for a few days. We had a great time – very restful! We…

Just thought I’d better update before I forget everything that’s gone on at Christmas! On Christmas Eve we went to the carols by candlelight service at Fordham. It was absolutely packed! Around 300 people in the church – a church which has a seating capacity of about 150. We put out a whole load of…
