Going to be HUGE.....just a warning!

Well, I am soooooo glad the weekend is over. It's going to take a week to recover. Friday we went to Mums for tea. Saturday we had Christmas lunch and also celebrated Nana's 80th. It was a very long day, and the kids were so good! Aodhan was still running around at 11pm. And he slept in until 10 on Sunday morning! The christening was good, the priest was fab, really cool, had an ear ring and everything. Didnt stress about Aodhan running around, told the devil to be out of him, which made us laugh. Nice and quick, no holy crap, LOL! Just the basics, which is exactly what we wanted. Then we went out for lunch, and then said goodbye, cos the Poms went back last night!

So yesterday we go looking at cars. Glenn has wanted a bigger car for a while, and I really didnt want to get rid of my car. 2000 Ford Laser, top of the range, I didnt want to get rid of it for a crap car, and we cant afford a loan. So anyway, we went to Werribee, having a look and the salesmen were all over us. One was a young guy and Glenn was straight with him. Going to have to sell mine privately cos we wont get what we want from a car yard, no money to pit in etc. So this guy goes, well.....you can you know. So he says we will trade your car for this. A 2000 Ford fairmont ghia. Very nice, leather inside, cd, electric everything. $56,000 when new 6 yrs ago. I didnt know if it was too big for me though, so we took it for a drive.....NOICE! It drives really nice. So we said yes, and drove out of there with a different car! Couldnt believe it. Had to put the stamp duty etc on the credit card, but we got a good car for a swap pretty much so I am happy.

Got it home and out mate Jamie who is a mechanic has a good look. The exhaust is rusted, we thought it had a hole in it. The parkers dont work. there are a few dash light globes that need to be replaced. and it had an oil leak. We have to take it back on thursday for them to detail it and service it and the guy had said to us thats why they make you take it home so you can find stuff thats wrong. and so there is. Bit concerned about the fact that he said it had passed a roadworthy though. It so obviously isnt, but they have to fix everything under the warranty.

and its heaps bigger, the double pram fits in the boot with room to spare. So now we can maybe go away! So hopefully we havent bought a lemon! Jamie seem to think we got a good deal, as long as they fix everything. But now that they know we have a mechanic mate, they wont try to swindle us!

I was going to upload some more pics, but blogger is being very slow, so maybe later! But thats us at St. Dominics Catholic Church. Theres a really good one of Father Robinson pouring the water over Ciaras head, Aodhan wouldnt have a bar of it.

Ok, better go, Aodhan wants Cuzz's....cuddles. LOL!

Have a good one, and I will be catching up with everyones blogs over the course of the day.
