Well so much for my …”I’ll post in my Blog everyday”… idea!\u00a0 The truth is, that it’s been a mad couple of weeks work wise and when I’ve been getting home from work, I’ve been so tired that all I wanted to do was veg out in front of the TV!<\/p>\n

So I thought I’d better add a catch up of the highlights of my fortnight!<\/p>\n

My Birthday!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

My Birthday arrived on Tuesday before last and although I was working all day, it was still a good day.\u00a0 I started the day opening my presents in bed which was kind of cool and Ailsa<\/span> got me some cool things (other people got me some nice stuff too!) including:<\/p>\n

A cool card that kind of fits my lifestyle:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

A cool card from Smirnoff, our Roborovski<\/span> Hamster (now I know what she gets up to in the day):<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

a pair of gadget screwdrivers:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
and one of these:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/div>\n

We went out for a meal in the evening which was nice and then it was back to work as normal really.<\/p>\n

Ailsa’s<\/span> car’s<\/span> MOT<\/span><\/u><\/strong>

<\/span>
Strange this being a highlight you may think … however this wasn’t just any MOT … this was a very late MOT!\u00a0 We had a bit of a panic realisation last Thursday that Ailsa’s<\/span> car’s MOT was actually due in February and not May!\u00a0 So a bit of Internet booking later and I managed to get a half price booking at Nationwide Autocentre<\/span> … fortunately the car passed without any issues … phew!<\/span>

<\/span>
New Tyre<\/span><\/u><\/strong>

<\/span>
OK you’re right … this isn’t really a highlight at all, but I thought I’d mention it anyway!\u00a0 I managed to, very stupidly drive over the corner of a kerb stone on the exit ramp of the multi-storey car park at work and gashed the sidewall of my half worn rear nearside tyre and damaged my alloy to boot \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 That was a bad day!!\u00a0 Fortunately I had a spare wheel in the shed and I’ve gone for an Avon ZZ3 … seems to have good reviews, will see how that does.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
