*Sigh*
You know, when I started this blog I thought it would be a good place for my friends to keep up to date with my goings on. You know, those of you I don’t get to see half as often as I’d like.
However, due to one or two ‘unsavoury characters’ i.e. people I’d rather not be checking up on me, I’m not so sure I want to carry on with this blog.
Shiny shiny vroom vroom!
Not all that exciting to others but it is to us – we got a new car today 
Seeing as our much beloved Yaris simply ain’t the ideal family car we decided to go for something with a bigger boot – and an extra two doors. Ho yus! After some traipsing around various garages we finally decided on a Honda Jazz, which I have instantly fallen in love with. We got the shiny sporty model which, although doesn’t have the fabby digital dash like the Yaris, it still has enough gadgets and things that go ‘beep’ to keep EV amused, bless him. It’s a sort of minty green colour so we have aptly named him Sid Snot, although the only rebellion he has in him is a tendency to grumble when you slow down. We both had enormous fun driving him around today, with a couple of illegal but fun moments when we realised how quickly Sid goes and although you think you’re not up to motorway speeds you’re suddenly doing 85 mph…

After the events of 2004 and me being shit scared about celebrating any good news since then, I’m now proud to announce that EV and I are expecting an ickle baby
In the hospital today and in the days leading up to having my 12 week scan I’ve been so nervous and worried and stuff that all would be well, so when the radiographer turned round that TV monitor and showed us a little bod squirming around I had to wipe away a couple of tears. It was a very satisfying moment to see that little fetus jumping around – we even got a little wave, laughing as we saw all five fingers seperate and intact! Our families are totally over the moon with the news and my mum’s glad she can finally get those knitting needles out so she can knit loads of cute ickle baby clothes 
The trouble with Telewest…
…is that although they provide a pretty decent service, when you have to phone them up the average customer service advisor doesn’t seem to know their arse from their elbow. Gah!
After getting yet another call from someone who wanted to know if I owned my house and would I like a loan/puppy/free icecream, whatever they’re trying to get you to take, I informed them I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service and would they kindly stop phoning me. I then double checked in the phone book to see if I’m listed – it seems I am.
Right then, says I, I’ll phone up Telewest and get them to make me ex-directory. So after getting through I asked if I could be made ex-directory. “Why do you want your number to be ex-directory?” she asks, and through gritted teeth I explain politely to her why I only want my number known to people I choose to give it to. Come on, No Shit Sherlock time or what?! She then proceeds to give me the number for Directory Enquiries. I asked her why do I have to phone them to make my number ex-directory, and she mumbled an apology and put me on hold forever so she could make the request from her end, which is her job.
Eventually she comes back on and says she’s done it, but I’m mighty tempted to phone back tomorrow just to make sure….mind you, this is the company who kept cancelling my direct debits, charging me for unpaid bills and then when I finally went nuts at them discovered they had about seven (count ‘em) different direct debit orders set up for my account. Ye gods, I know I’m not the brightest person to live sometimes but I really despair sometimes!
Bleh.
I’ve been given a row because I don’t update my blog as often as other people. That’s mainly because nothing is really happening in my life just now and I don’t want to bore ya! The main things that have been happening concern WoW, which doesn’t concern most of my friends so there ya go. However, there is something really exciting coming up soon and I’d love to tell you all now but won’t, you’ll just have to wait and see…
