Dropped the car off this morning before half past seven i left the keys in a letter box fitted on the wall outside the garage , that if you sneezed too hard it would fall apart never mind try to break in to it then i had a two mile walk back home wondering if the car would still be there when they opened up the garage.anyway it was and is now all working fine apart from the mechanic mentioned the exhaust back box is slightly blowing,sooner the house is sold and i get some money the better.

Helen gave me this card which she hand made for valentines , and i love it no one ever before apart from the kids when they was younger has bothered to make me a hand made card i bought Helen's which i suppose is the easy way out.

To accompany the card she made my favorite banana cake which as been way too long form the last one that she baked and a roast chicken Sunday dinner with my favorite roasted parsnips and roasted sweet potatoes , will be going to bed with a full stomach tonight, wonder how i can burn a few calories off? will have to see .

I have been on the bus all week , well for each night i only caught the bus Monday morning after then i managed to get a lift in to work from Ray my work colleague cheers mate .On a night after my evening shift i have been catching the bus and getting home just before nine so i am out for nearly fourteen hours a day , by the time we have eaten relaxed and a coffee its usually midnight.

The car is booked in next Tuesday getting the clutch done which will cost around £450 pound .Its the first month that i have the court order to pay when an attachment of earnings for £400 was made , this will come out each month until the house is sold, so as always perfect timing so far 2010 ain't been the best of starts as they say things can only get better .

I received some paper work from the solicitor whom is assisting us in the sale of the house with my ex and it all seems to be going through fine fingers crossed i have borrowed money from my sister for the repairs of my freelander so i hope to pay her back as quick as possible , plus i need to get the car serviced and a cd/mp3 player fitted cant really be driving a car which has a cassette deck although i have got a cassette i can insert to enable me to use the I-pod , its not the same.

Went to the hand car wash at Rodley to get it it cleaned after i took it to the and they did a really good job will go there again.

P.S THE CAR IN THE PHOTO IS NOT MINE I COULDNT BE BOTHERED TAKING ONE OF MY CAR

SATURDAY
Went to the Arndale centre bumped in to a old Friend Wyn who is going to live in the states in the next couple of months , he is now married to an American lady he married her last year after meeting her online , he jetted over to see her and the relationship developed , and eventually after a few years they got married and now he is planning on giving the finger to his job , home and this country .

The sale of the house i jointly own with my ex is still going ahead , went back to work and looking forward to the weekend again .I bought some more items of eBay its been well over a year since i made any purchases and then i have only ever bought two items . i bought a new black leather case for my Noika e71 and spare battery for my Fuji finepix digital camera which is over two years old but well up to the job , so i thought that i would buy a battery to back up the original one just in case they became obsolete , and a usb xd card reader which is being posted from Hong kong to work with a western digital tv media player that i am thinking of buying at a later date.
