Happy St.George's Day (for two weeks ago!!!)


Man, oh man, dem peeps at Blogger is messin' wiv me. well, either that or I'm just losing the knack of things that I was previously alright at! I appear to have messed up the "posting date" for this post but, in true stiff upper lip style, I am pressing on ahead and posting it anyway.

A fortnight late!

Hmmm .............

What could be more English than jam coconut sponge, eh?

Well, apart from roast beef, roast potatoes and all the trimmings of course.

And a full English breakfast.

And fish and chips.

And pie and mash.

Ok, apart from all those things, what could be more English than jam coconut sponge???

Egg-sactly!! And, as is usually the case whenever something sweet is placed in the staff room, it didn't last very long at all. very well received it was, with a dollop of healthy (well, half fat) creme fraiche.



Tally ho, pip pip and Bob's your auntie!

"You've missed a bit"


I took the car for a wash yesterday. I normally do this myself but I thought I'd 'mix it up' a bit. Whereas I normally pay between three and six pounds, the wash yesterday came to a grand total of £266 and some pennies. I was shocked, to say the least. Two hundred and sixty six pounds??

Still, they did give it the annual service it needed, so I guess it wasn't all bad. I didn't even know it was due a service to be honest. I received a letter from Kia the other day. It started thus;

"As I'm sure you're aware, your car is now due it's annual service ..."

Well, funny enough, I wasn't aware actually. I thought that I'd have the car for a whole year befre I needed to worry about that. But, a 'phone call later confirmed that it was indeed due to be put up on the ramps and tinkered with.

Still, never mind - pay day is in ............. a fortnight.




£266?

I'm delighted!
