Exploding Yoghurts !
On the way to work I listened to the home made CD that Peter had left in the car from last night - there are some good tracks on there.
Today's main news story seems to be about the dud petrol that has been sold in some garages which is ruining peoples car engines. My favourite headline from, who else but The Sun, was 'Petrol Chumps'. Genius - what a fun job that must be - headline writer for The Sun! It appears that it's not just a problem with 'supermarket' petrol - someone at work has had his car knackered by the local Texaco garage.
Work is better today - my opposite number is back and both bosses have been locked away in meetings so we've been able to crack on with our work.
Last night I had a bit of a panic moment when I realised that my car tax disc had run out at the end of February. I knew you could update it online but had not intended to go this route as I think Post Offices need all the business they can get. However, it was an emergency so I succumbed and it couldn't have been easier. I literally punched my car registration number in and the number on my vehicle registration document and the system checked automatically that I was insured and had an MOT and then that was it. The disc will be with me within 5 days (hopefully sooner). The only cautionary note is that the tax disc is automatically sent to the address on your vehicle registration document so if that's out of date the disc will be sent to an old address.

Tonight is the fortnightly Sainsbury delivery - hoorah, fresh food is arriving. We always get down to the dregs in the last few days before a big shop arrives ie. we run out sandwich filling, fruit - all the fresh stuff really. We always pray that the driver will be late too as if he's even 1 minute over our allocated delivery slot we get a £10 voucher :-).
Looking forward to some good telly tonight as 'Bonkers' and 'Benadorm' is on tonight - both are hilarious.
Damn I just cautiously opened a muller yoghurt and it gave a hiss as the air escaped and spurted yoghurt all over my top and skirt - drat.
Good things about today:-
Sainsers are coming
Good trash TV
Bad things
Nothing really
