So today when we got up we decided to take the mini down the garage since neither battery it currently has takes a charge, the old one has no water and the new one is just...well, crap. So it bumbs pretty easily really and we drove down the garage and found both of them are rubbish as expected. On trying to ring CES for a new battery though, we found they close at 1, and it was only about quarter past >.o Monday we'll go get a new battery, I only really have work that I have to get to before then.
So we bumped it again (easier this time as it was warm, the mini that is, cause the weather was horrible xp) and drove to town to go to the bank and claires, I got some small hair clips for the pullip. It is spoilt atm, but still has no name, I was thinking Kaden till Tony reminded me that's probably a boy's name, so now I'm thinking Jools/Jules?
The first pic pretty much sums up today- making sure the mini was parked facing downhill for an easy bump start!

BumpBump Mini Booge!

( No pullip today but sky & rainbow )

Today the weather was lovely and we got up to take Tony to the doctors so of course I got to have another go in my newly acquired van x3 In the daylight it looked a lot more beat up than it did the last night, including a big hole in one of the back doors caused by rust! We also went to the jobcentre and the town centre, and got quite a bit done really, then I decided I better stay home in case the guys came to collect their van and I was still galavanting about with it. Tony went to his brothers, and I read with Dad out in the sun, the breeze was a little cool every now and then but overall it was great, I can't wait for summer! They came for the van about 4.30, a massive truck trying to come up the street! I don't know quite how he managed it. He offloaded the mini and we pushed it back into place on the drive, then he put the van back on. It would've been nice to have that van for a couple more days ;p

Today we were gonna polish the mini but when we got to the garage it was all shut, so instead I just got a few pics of the nice MG that was down there, it was made in the same year as the mini!
We did a couple of other things, but I can't remember what they were now ;d
Later I just got a bunch of pics of the gerbs XD It's nearly warm enough to start putting them outside again actually.

Lovely little MG x3

( And both the Gerbils )

Current Mood: relaxed

Today there were lots of rumours of snow but mostly i didn't believe them, then me and Tony went up town as he had the day off and when we came back out it was snowing a tiny bit! We went to Shrews and back (i was pony hunting, but no success) and it was snowing slightly here and there but mostly just tiny nothing flakes. We popped into Tesco, when we went in it was sunny, but when we came out there was a layer of snow on the ground already!
So it's been going pretty much ever since, I had to go to work and there was quite a lot of snow, people were driving all slowly so it wasn't so bad, and best of all the mini started fairly easily!

Beggining of the chaos

( Then on the way to Tony's house... )

I seem to be getting an entry in every 2 days, strange. I don't dothat on purpose xp Some days just aren't good for the pic taking it seems ;p
Today Tony was gonna polish up the mini so it would look niiiiiice, and have all the runs and shiny patches gone xD But best laid plans etc...I went to get some crome polish from Halfords before I went to the garage and then as I left and headed toward the EP, I thought I heard a can split in the back of my car, (where I keep the red bulls ;D) so I pulled over into Staples car park as soon as I reached it to try and save my carpet, only when I jumped out the car and started looking for the split one there wasn't one...and I hunted the sound down to the outside where the engine was trying to be a massive giveaway by letting all the water it could find in itself out as steam. So I called Tony and he came up on his bike from the garage as he has AA cover. It was a small pipe we had thought may go only it's a bitch to replace, so we were hoping the AA guy would do it XD As soon as he saw what was wrong he was like 'noooooo' and said he wouldn't do it on the roadside as he'd loose all the bold as he took the engine apart etc to reach the pipe. So he towed the mini down to the garage, he was quite nice about it all really, once he realised I didn't have cover though he got me so I bought it so now I'll have it for the future. So far the AA have been really good so I kinda trust them even though they are exy.
The job in the end wasn't as bad as it'd been hyped up to be on my Mini, perhaps other minis are different, but it took Tony and Ron just over an hour to dismantle the radiator, put the pipe in and put it all back together again. Nice! So the mini didn't get it's clean this time, maybe next week ;D At least it works still!!

AA van again...

( Gerbs to change the mood Xp )

Current Mood: Done!

Today Tony rang me cause he was working on a very nice Subaru Impreza. I like subarus even though I could never afford one, or it's insurance, petrol or repairs for that matter XD I fact, this one was a beast, it was very highly tuned by experts I probably wouldn't be able to control it if i drove it either, even Ron, driving it in the picture, was having a bit of trouble when the turbo kept kicking in.
Anyway, I haven't got a more interesting picture for today, so woo blurryish car xp

It's a suuuubaru!

Current Mood: accomplished

Today we took the mini for a run to Wolves. It's not been very happy cause of the cold i we figured a run may do it good :3 Town wasn't bad but it was cold again and after looking in the DVD shop there wasn't much else we felt like seeing and it was too cold to go into the park so we went back to the car, we had still managed to spend a couple of hours though :3
On the way back to the car when we were within seeing distance of it, I looked up to check it was there and it was, only then I realised I don't drive the seicento anymore! There was an exact copy of my sei sitting right near where I parked the mini (only with out loony tunes stickers). It spooked me a bit anyway XD
This pic was taken from the mini while we had a snack before we left, there had been a car between us before which was why when walking back I hadn't seen the mini first and registered what was going on XD

Why do I never have my Sei when I see cars like it?

Current Mood: amused

Today we enjoyed the snow a bit, it's bloody cold and the mini doesn't like it but it's still nice to see :3 Tony got out the savage petrol remote car and ran it about a bit till it broke again, Brandy loved chasing after both savages, Tony and Rons. The savage wasn't too broke in the end, Tony fixed it anyway.
Can't really think what else we did today...so here's the pictures, the second one was taken with my new cameras' 40-shot a second feature =D

Chasing the savages

( Also snow and sunset :3 )

Current Mood: okay

Well, Happy New Year! After all I said about a photo-a-day, I couldn't manage it yesterday I was so ill, I think it was food poisoning, but it certainly had me laid low for the whole day, I was not a good Joan and so didn't go to work either, Heather was not happy and I don't think she believed i was ill either!
Today anyway, with the weather being so cold over the past couple of days it didn't get above freezing and so everything was covered in a layer of frost! Everything looked really nice, so I took Tony out for a drive and took pics of anything i liked the looks of x3 Cutting it down to 3 was pretty difficult though. Oh yeah, even Prioslee lake was frozen!

Dog in the Lane...obviously

( Such a cold day! )

Current Mood: busy

Today once we were up Tony rang the Thomson people to see what he could do about getting a late ticket as I said he should go and at least not waste the money he spent, even if it meant he'd have to leave me behind ;p
We tried to get the mini going but it was having some weird problems for a while, loosing power for no reason. It seemed to be fine after a while so we tried going to Hooty's again but it started doing a weird thing once we got on the motorway, so we got off at the first junction and went home, and asked Dad to take us.
So we got there eventually, even if not by my car xp We got this and that at hootys but nothing major.
When we got home Tony rang the hols people again about flights later in the week but there is only a flight tomorrow and sunday, so he decided to go tomorrow and get a week and a half. We will have to get up at 3am in time to get to the airport as the flight is at 7.15!

Just Wolves Winter Afternoon

Current Mood: gloomy

Today we got up early again to ring the Tunisian Embassy but they basically said 'nuts to you, 3 weeks' and that was it. There is no emergency visa or anything, so it was pretty much settled that it wasn't going to happen. So we tried to going to Thomson and seeing about going elsewhere but without the main booker (which was Ron) we could do basically nothing without paying out virtually the price of the holiday again for something new.
So we gave up on the that and decided to head to Hooty's, in Bilston. We weren't sure of the way but got there pretty easily and with no problems from the mini, and we decided to look around the market as we found it first XD We got this and that from there, some presents and some mushrooms too XD They just looked good.
When we came back to the mini it just wouldn't start. Tony pushed it to bump it with the help of another guy, and someone else tried connecting it to thier cars' battery but it wasn't having any of it and sat there quite dead. Once it was shoved into a quiet corner of the car park we rang the AA. Luckily Tony has AA cover with his bank account.
We waited ages for the guy in the freezing car and he took just as long if not longer to fix it, turned out to be the coil. (Whatever that does) Apparently he was very good and methodical according to Tony, but I just sat in the car freezing until he was done and the bloody thing ran again.
We got home with the mini running like a little dream car and had veges and fish for tea with Dad nom nom nom x3
And we never got to Hootys XD

Mini next door to Tony's..mine is nicer ;p

Current Mood: sleepy

I know there are so many days missed betwwen the last entry and this one, but I can't find the photos I took for those days >:[ I def got some, like of the fog (you can imagine that was a great pic) that lasted two days over the whole country. So annoying.

Anyway! Today was the day we set off to go on holiday! I finally finished my project last night and so did the last touches to it this morning after waking up early and dragging Tony round the house...we were going to go up town early and get it out the way, but silly us forgot it was Sunday and the shops don't open till 10 ;d Once we did get up and back (all we wanted were some crocs shoes) I said bye to Dad and went over Tony's house to make sure the last of our stuff was sorted and then waited for the minibus to pick us up.
I fell asleep on the way to the airport of course, but Tony woke me up 5 mins before we got there at about 12.
The thing was, after waiting in line to check in, the woman behind the desk was all shifty then after going away and coming back a couple of times said I couldn't go, cause I hold an NZ passport and therefore need a visa, which of course I didn't have.
The rest of the family checked in but Tony, who said he wouldn't go if I couldn't, then we got some basic advice from the Thomson helpdesk to try the Tunisian embassey to get a fast visa, or perhaps try and swap out hol with another to a destination I could go to, once we had it all arraged, she said, we could ring Thompson to change our flight rather than re-booking.
So we had to leave Tony's family who were all sad, and once we'd composed ourselves a bit we headed for the train station, where we got a train back to Wolves (with a half hour wait in Birmingham for timetable reasons or something) then a coach back to Telford. By the time we got back it was about 3.30/4.00 and I rang Dad who was obviously quite surprised as expected ;p
Once we were back we tried ringing the Tunisia embassey but they were closed, so we'll leave it for tomorrow. We then went to Asda and Tony got some JD and I got energy drink to go with my gin x3
It sucks now having been able to go today, I've got a couple more chances but not really positive on their outcomes but overall I'm not too upset, it's no good being too upset about it as there's nothing I can do about it. At least I have Tony with me, if he'd gone too it would've seemed a lot worse.

Current Mood: pissed off

On 13/2/09 I found these (what I thought to be) long lost pictures! =D They were sitting on a spare 1GB card I had for my camera in my camera bag which when today when I found I had left my 4GB card at home I swapped in, and here were these pics!
These were taken the day Dad, me and Tony went to Cardiff to pick up new carpets for my mini as one of my xmas presents. It was a good day out, though cold. We went to a cafe first when we got there for lunch, then went and got the carpet (I think, from what I can remember) Then we went to the ocean front and walked along it abit. It was quite fun and the sun was setting when we left. I slept on the way home XD

Bridge to Wales...severn bridge?

( Also an odd cafe and the view :3 )

Current Mood: busy

Today I actually had a day off work! =D Me, Tony and Dad went up to Greys after grabbing a maccies for lunch. We played pool and snooker for a while and generally just had some fun :3 Only now, they have started charging for use of their tables! it's £2 an hour, which is still quite cheap compared to other places.
Soon after the bottle pic was taken it got knocked over by a cue ;x opps.
The car is a Peroda Myvi, but doesn't it look like dads? Even the inside was the same!

Drinks all round!

( More Snookers and a Myvi )

Current Mood: accomplished

I don't rememeber doing much today, though i think I went down the garage at some point...woo, informative!
What I did notice was the council putting in struts or whatever for the new gate they're gonna put in, what an adventurous day :3

No gate yet though

Current Mood: okay

Another day, more pics to take. Woke up late cause we didn't get to sleep till 3 last night even though work fini at one. It's hard to wind down sometimes.
I actually managed to get 3 photos today. We went to currys after we got up cause i wanted to have a look at their cameras, I thought i'd found a really good one but when i checked it's reviews on the intarwebs it wasn't so great after all ;/ So the search contines!

Such a cute Halloween Biscuit

( Roundabouts and lights )

Today was fairly simple, I went down the garage and Tony topped my car up with oil, and I hung about as usual. Not much has changed on the mini front lately, cause it's pretty much done till i can get an MOT for it at the beggining of Nov. Tony did make a battery box for it today though, so if i put stuff in the boot i won't short it out or knock the main cable off XD
When we came home fairly early about 3, and I did some of the project thing and got it sorted from the pic i posted the other day.
Work today was pretty easy, and i fini early about 10!

Sometimes photos make places look better ;3

( A nice row of cars )

Current Mood: tired

Not much to todays photo, just messing about with the nighttime settings on Tony's camera, I did get one that was in better focus but no car drove past as I was taking it ;p
I had a bit of trouble taking a pic today, didn't seem to be much about, unusually.
My pokémon are nearly at lv 50 now ;p Only 10 more levels to go!

Swoosh lights

Current Mood: hungry

Today raaaaaaained! Then in the middle there was some brightness, then it raaained again ;p
Just after lunch I went down the garage and got tony and we went to Maplins again to get the last of what was needed for the mini stereo stuff. On the way back we went via Stirchley as Tony's bike chain had broken there this morning, and Ron had gone out and got a new chain. So Tony fitted it in the carpark he'd put it in, and was away too :3
I came home and tried to do some LJ, but by the time i'd managed to do all the pictures it was time for tea, then onto work.

Today.

( My cars meet )

Current Mood: hungry

I woke up dead cranky for some reason, and after going on the PC for a bit Tony called and so I went down to visit after getting him some food from Maccies. The stereo was installed today, and the old one from my car put back in, it is crap and won't play CDs ;d Nevermind.
I'm back into Pokémon atm, weird. I have to train my pokémon to around lvl. 60 so I can try to beat the Elite 4, atm they are about lvl. 40 o.X

Flowers in the window

( More pink and autumn )

Current Mood: happy
