Into the mind of fords…

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.

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
