Friday the 13th - Part 1
Well, I made it in to work this morning (car wise and illness wise). I got here slightly early so I could drive along the roads very slowly to try and prevent the car from going bang. Only pissed a few drivers off who were behind me I think.
Work had been ok, very quiet but have had quite a few visitors in and out of the office and went for a coffee with a couple of colleagues mid morning. Also brought my radio in today so I've been listening to Radio 4 and improving my current affairs knowledge immensely. Also they keep saying that there is going to be a heat wave this weekend - bring it on!
It's almost half past one and I need to phone the garage in about half an hour to see if the part is in (it better be as I can't take this dicing with death driving experience for too long I can tell you). My plan is to drop the car in and then go and sit in a park just around the corner and read my book whilst they do the repairs - it could be a few hours as they will have to fit it in around other work.
I've done a severe editing of our next Sainsburys shopping list today - the amount of our fortnightly shop has been going up and up as we are eating healthier and having more 'nice' but 'pricy' suff. So it's dropped from about £120 to £95 - I can't seem to get it much below that without us resorting to tearing up sheets of newspaper for loo roll (which I think would be too extreme).
We had expected to hear from Denise and Brian last night as they had tentatively suggested meeting up again yesterday evening when Peter spoke to Denise at the beginning of the week. However, we didn't hear anything which we were both quite releaved about as,
a) I was feeling so unwell
b) using the car would have been risky
c) we have no money
That's the end of my ramblings for now - Friday 13th Part 2 to follow.

My dear old Gran had sheets of The Daily Sketch hanging up in her outside privy. You used to get headlines on your bum!
My gran and grandad used to have an outside loo too. I remember going to visit it when I was a child in the winter. God it was freezing out there! Germs had no chance of survival I can tell you!
Yes, Grandma had an outside loo in the coal yard oop north too! She also had an inside one, but that was only for visitors ...
