Me and my darling Jeni (who you all know and love) have been working very hard saving money to move in togeather and through collecting loose change over the past 3 months or so we managed to scrape £115 between us which brings our total to well over £500 so far... I think we're doing alright really...
I finally got rid of Betsy the clapped out Corsa and bought a brand spanking new (six year old) Renault Laguna... after a mishap involving my gear box, two scottish terriers and some chewing gum I decided it was about time for a change and what better time than when my dad was looking to get rid of his (he bought a new shaped Ford Focus) lovely motor... Or that was my idea... I have the car but my insurance company won't touch me unless the car was completely factory standard and unfortunatley my dad bought some shiny happy 16" alloys for it so I had to find four 15" steel wheels for it. Oh my god the hassle I had with that was unreal... they showed up a week late after seven days worth of promises that they would "be there tomorow"... bastards. So when they eventually showed up I phoned the insurance company and they helped lighten my pocket by a hefty £318.20 for Third Party Fire And Theft untill Febuary, then I might get 30% no claims bonus which will take my overall premium down to about £1700... of course I'll just go to a different company that will insure me to put my alloys on it... after all the car looks a lot nicer with them on.
Good news everybody! my last claim on my insurance has been refunded! The fucking waste of space cock head I drove into on the A1 tried to use a slight dint on the side of his van to con my insurance company out of a whole new van, but the fucking arse got caught out... so my insurance company refunded me a rather tasty £412... extremeley happy! But I'd be even happier if that butt-munching ass wipe who tried it lands himself in jail...
I also cleaned and hoovered my car and the modifying has begun! First I got some lovely M3 style wing mirrors and a new gear knob (heehee... Knob)... then I realised that the badges on the back weren't riveted on so I pulled them off and de-badged it... and if thats not enough, I got some head rest lights aswell (but since they didn't fit the head rests on my car I took the springs off, and with a little help from a nail file, a screw driver and a piece of paper, I turned them into over-pedal neons. I'm so clever)... next I want some Lexus style rear lights (no, I'm not a chav) and a Pipercross Induction kit... Now all I have to do is talk Jeni into letting me get them... Wish me luck everyone. Much thanks to my darling Jeni for cleaning services and my sisters boyfriend Micheal Watson for his help with the modding.
After all that, I started to redecorate my room at last... it took 2 coats of white emulsion to get rid of the awfull mid-eighties pattern covered up and I decided to go for a more simple Biscuit colour... it looks really nice (or it will do when I'm finished)
One more thing before I go... I finally managed to get my Nintendo Wii online... its awesome... first thing I did was download porn (heehee) its really cool...
ok, so as you all know if you read my last post, a lot of money was recently spent getting me road going again... Just over a week later some worthless motherfucker decides it'll be funny to kick in my driver-side rear light... fucking dickhead!
It happened in Sunderland in the car park near Park Lane... I dropped Jeni off at the hair-dressers, then parked up and went to meet her. I come back an hour later and a snapped bit of plastic is lying on the ground next to my car. The security guard says he never saw anything and that it would have been a waste of time to check the security video. So I've just had to fork over £26.50 for a new one and have to wait 3 days for it to arrive... not fucking happy.
Also, Jeni took off to DC this morning, and I miss her already... I know she's only gone for 5 days, and I know I'm being daft, but god dammit I love her, and I'm bloody well entitled to miss her like crazy!
for the last month of my life, something has been missing... something big and red and (not so) shiny to be exact... my car. But now, at great expense, it's back. Thats right, I'm back on the road.
its only problem was the cost of insurance, and believe me, when you have 2 claims made against you in your first year of driving, its not fucking cheap... However, I managed to come to an agreement with my loving father who was kind enough to pay the whole £2176.37 in one lump sum on the extremely strict condition that I pay him by direct debit untill that and the car (which I haven't finished paying for) are payed off in full...
being able to pay for things... that brings me to my next point that I found another job... back to what I'm used to doing its BAR AND WAITING WORK FOR MEEE! at a small tapas bar in the metrocentre called El Molino's.
also, I ended up not being able to go to Blackpool...
not much to say, but I want to say something anyway, which is why I'm here... Just lazed around all day with my beloved (and, sadly, migrained) Jeni... she's been playing warcraft a lot recently, and personally I think that Command & Conquer is a better game, but each to their own... Hopefully have my car back in a little under 3 hours aswell, so EXTREMELY excited about that... in the infamous words of "The Replacements" I can't hardly wait!
painted the kitchen today... was a bit bored waiting to see my beloved Jeni, so I thought "hey! Why not, eh?" just used the same colour to brighten it up a little bit and thought I did a damn good job if I do say so myself...
been a long, long time since I posted here and apologies to hakuchou_kaoru for not posting as often... I'll try to keep up to date from now on, ok?
not well, and have to miss college today... am upset about that cos its wear your pants with pride, in support of world AIDS day, so I missed the opportunity to wear my boxers over my pants... ah well, I'll just have to do it on Wednesday, won't I? going to Heworth to pick Jeni up cos she said she wants to come and see me, so I'm insanely happy about that cos I thought I wouldn't get to see her untill tomorow night... but I have to pull myself togeather for work tonight, I just hope I'll be ok for it...
