Got the Katie Melua album this morning from CDwow – a bargain at only £7.99! Off to look at the outlet village near Mansfield, then down to Sarah’s (with a dirty great bottle of Baileys!) for a little New Year bash.

CityLink eventually turned up – said they couldn’t find it yesterday. But they could on the 24th, and could today – damn moving house of mine! Got the missus some sunbed sessions down the gym (as I’m nice like that), so she’s going to give it a whirl. Should look tanned by the wedding?

Finally managed to get through to One4All support, who updated my remote to support my Philips DVD Recorder with code 0464. I’d tried it over the internet, but it didn’t seem to accept – probably down to my laptop speakers. They reckon the SKY key can be added using CodeMagic 526 for my Sky+ (1175). [...]

Sat in awaiting the coming of the City Link guy – they turned up on Christmas Eve, and left a card but as the nearest depot. is Scunthorpe, and I don’t fancy going there without a Police escort, I’m waiting for them to re-deliver. Of course, you wait in all day, and they turn up [...]

Taken advantage of the MFI sale to order a new kitchen – not the £5700 one (which had only gone down £250), but one which won’t bankrupt us. Will have to book a few days sick when it’s fitted. Only kidding JD/Ady!
Kirstin did quite well in the sales, I got Pikmin for my Gamecube & [...]

Had a great Christmas, thanks for asking. Top present has to be Mario Kart: Double Dash from the SO, which we’ve enjoyed playing. Saw the family yesterday in Peterborough, then went to the sales in Lincoln – extremely busy around the retail parks. My sister had written all her thank-you letters by Boxing Day, she’s [...]

Father Christmas should be on his way now! Looking forwards to a quiet day just with the missus opening LOADS of presents. Merry Christmas to everyone!

So my new car turned up yesterday. Black = yes, Ford Focus = yes, 1.6 Auto = yes, Ghia ‘02 = NO! They sent the wrong car, and the one I wanted has gone to someone else. So I’ve got to keep hold of this for the moment, and choose another one in the new [...]

I love Christmas – it’s one of the few times of the year I can browse the lingerie section without Security being called! Missus has been dropping hints – she’d like a kitten & Gucci watch this year. Unfortunately you can’t get either of those at Poundland, so I just hope she’s happy with a [...]

Looking forwards to Lord Of The Rings, The Return Of The King – out on Wednesday. Will probably go see it at the weekend, as I’m taking Kirstin home for a few days to see her family before Christmas. Should be getting a Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia Automatic on Thursday, although I won’t be able [...]
