New-car-sle

Hey ho, well yesterday was a long day. Me, Dad and Murray headed down to Newcastle to get a Triumph Stag. We had one years ago when I was wee but had to sell it. Dad's been after another one ever since. So finally yesterday we got one. It's a minging shade of Yellow but I'm sure it'll be gorgeous after it's been restored. So we left the house at 5.30 in the morning! It was truly ridiculous. Set off and Dad was in his silly mood because he was getting a new toy to play with. We got down there at about 8.30 and got the car. It took what felt like an eternity to get it onto the trailer, but by 10ish it was done. We wrapped it up in a big polythene sheet, which was basically a complete waste of time. Half way up the freeway it started to come loose at the front and was at risk of blowing off and causing a 19 car pile up. I could just picture it. So we took it off when we got to Vicki's.



We had a really good time at Vicki's. The kids were great. Ewan was playing hide and seek with us for ages but he really hasn't grasped the concept of it yet. Whenever he heard Murray say Ready or not, he'd run out of his hiding place screaming "Boooooo!". It was so cute, and really quite funny. Olivia get more gorgeous every time that we see her. I don't know what happened to her dark hair but she's a wee blondie now, so cute. Phil brought his big bongo drum out and Ewan had a ball banging at it. Olivia was only really interested in the maracas. When we had to leave, Ewan wasn't too happy, but he perked up when Vicki said he could have a go on his bike after we'd left.

On the way back up the road, we stopped in at KFC and I got my 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' book which I've been after for ages. I'm kind of pissed that they've changed the name from 'Secret Dreamworld of...' but what can I do? So it was a good wee day and I can't wait to go back down and see them again.

Oh and what is with Roxy getting kicked off of Dancing on Ice?! Wrong decision people.

But hey, byeeee
