This is getting silly now.

For the fifth time now my car has been done over in some way with the one prior to this costing me £25 for new locks (thank you eBay for saving me the quoted £200 I was quoted at a garage). This event however the assailant managed to actually get in to my car (by damaging the lock barrel, the bodywork on the door – I now have a huge hole in it – and bending the top of the door on the drivers side) to take my radio.

They did however leave my classic rock cds bought from Tesco which is, I suppose, a good thing.

At the moment I’m waiting for CSI to come take a look (a formality when the door has been bent) before I can really do anything to it. I hope it doesn’t rain in the mean time…

After reading Neil’s blog today, I realised that I too hadn’t posted anything in a while.

Unlike Neil, I actually have some news.

Lets start small, my car passed it’s MOT yesterday (except for a couple of bulbs) and it had it’s first service (under my ownership). I actually ended up with a courtesy car from the garage because when they ordered the parts for my Citroen Saxo for the service, the parts that actually arrived were for a Renault Clio. Not really what you want to hear just before you need to drive back from work – but this administration error can’t be helped I guess. So I was given a Rover 25 to play with for the night. A bigger engine (1.4 as opposed to my 1.1) makes all the difference. I could hear myself think at 70 on the drive back to Haxby.

Now though I have my car back and it wasn’t that expensive which is even nicer!

I am now permanently employed by the company. Since my line manager is leaving, that in essence leaves me as head of web development (delusions of grandeur much?) – and has warranted slightly more money which is nice, especially since Liz and I are storing money away for a deposit for a mortgage.
