My big old Jackaroo has died...put to sleep by the uncaring insurance company. Goodbye old beast...we had some great times together. You were a good car, never ever breaking down, always getting us from A to B safely as the tribe we are. I will miss you!
Now I guess my job on the weekend is to find a new car. The beast was costing a fair bit to run anyway...about $120 per week in fuel. I think a small economical car will be good for the weekly finances but we wont be able to fit in one car any more. Brent doesnt go out with us much now anyway...being nearly 17 thats just not cool. Also means we won't be able to tow our big van. We will get that back from Heywood somehow and sell it off. Who knows, someone may give us a couple of grand for the old girl. Tents for Christmas Holidays..we generally only go away for two weeks now anyway. I can handle that. It certainly has brought more change into our lives....yet again. A smaller car does also give me the opportunity to get Brent to get his learners permit. He has put it off so far as we didnt have a car that he could learn in and maybe he is a little scared.
Stef was so naughty last night. I had just bought 3 packets of biscuits for the kids lunches last night.....locked them in the cupboard. Well the imp found the key and opened all the packets. I went in to her room and here were the entire contents of the packs spread over her bed. What a rotter! That kid costs me a fortune!
I'm keeping up to all that our lives entail .....just. I have rested a bit more this week. This is the only day that I have had with a 3.30am start. I just couldnt sleep. Have such a busy day ahead at work today....payday.. and end of month madness. I'm wired! It has been an awesome month for the company I work for, so nothing will dampen the bosses spirits. The girl I am filling in for had her baby on Friday morning and already she is emailing me 10 times a day. Damn, I was hoping her baby would give her hell and teach her a little about how babies can't be controlled. DAMN!
The supermarket boss keeps ringing me at work. I have had to ignore his calls. I cant be at his beck and call when someone else is paying me. Stuff him. His business, his problem. I can't wait to be rid of him.
Apart from that...all is quiet on the western front....lol.....its never not busy here!
