Epic update

Well, it's been a good few days.

Christmas Eve at Andy and Maz's was absolutely awesome, really really good fun. It was great to just hang out with everyone and chat and play party games. Also the food, exceptional, mention must be made of the exceptional small quiches and the ice cream / swiss roll hybrid cake.

Christmas day was spent as usual - Christmas lunch and hanging out with my Dad and then back home in the evening to eat my home made lasagna, which was really really tasty.

Boxing day was spent not really doing very much and I actually spent much of the day playing through Portal 2 again which is such a perfect experience it's great every time. Yesterday I finished it off and then had a bonfire and spent quite some time digging out a stream that's been clogged for ages now. Not so difficult really but I had to hack down two trees to get at it. Then it was off to St Asaph with everyone to meet up with Craig who we haven't seen for a while.

Today was very quiet in work, although the backup system didn't appreciate being left to it's own devices and had many problems, requiring two restarts. Andy, Maz and Rob joined Em and I for lunch as we had arranged and I had made chilli so we could have it with some chips from the chippy. This was a great success.

I'm hoping like anything the car can hold out until next payday, but the exhaust is really starting to get loud, argh. Also need to start listing stuff on Ebay again now that Christmas is over and done with for another year. But the list of stuff it needs is growing...not sure if it's viable to get all the work done. As well as the exhaust I'm sure the suspension needs attention, and that's before all the electrical issues. It comes down to either spending some cash on it or get another £500 banger that could well have a whole new set of problems. Since the 306 is comfortable and pretty economical, I'm inclined to keep it. Not sure yet, will see what the situation is come payday, assuming it survives that long.
