Well as no one posted any comments to my last post, it was either incredibly boring, or just so indepth that I didn't leave any scope for questions ;)

Just a quick update this time. I have my car back! And it has actually survived more than one day this time. It appears that when I had it serviced last and they replaced the spark plugs they put the wrong ones in, thus causing spiking of power to the speedo and blowing it essentially. So I'm now on my 3rd or 4th speedo in just over a month, and yes they replaced the spark plugs for me. So my car is much happier now, has a working speedo, and even stopped that crackling present in my speakers!!

I also went and saw the specialist about my tonsils, and I get to keep them for now which is good. If I get tonsillitis again he might want to take them out, but for now they stay. So that's good news. Maybe Sydney's not doomed after all.

Chris great to see so many piccies of Milly, I can't wait to meet her. When are you coming over for a cousins dinner? Mum and Dad glad to hear Pam and Phil are well and having a great time. Have some Roti for me! I look forward to having some in September when Renee and I come and visit. Darius, where for art thou? I'll have to give you a call to make sure you're still alive. Unless you're working so much like all the other Macquarie people who are in the news taking home all that cash!

Love to you all!

Yes I know about time...

For those of you who thought i'd disappeared off the face of the earth, sorry to inform you that I haven't. Unfortunately i've been extraordinarily busy, and having computer troubs.

Let's start there. I decided i wanted to play Risk, you know that whole world domination thing, great i downloaded it, tried to find a crack. Now we all know those sites are a bit dodgey, but these were stupidly dodgey, and infected my computer with so many trojans and other viruses, that everything just ground to a halt and didn't want to work. Luckily Randall knows a bit about computers, and is in the process of fixing it all for me. I now have a nice new 80gig hard drive, which is running quite nicely. I of course now have Ad-aware, Norton and Zone alarm, so hopefully that won't happen again. And Randall found a cracked version of Risk so i won't go looking for that again. So we're slowly coping everything over to the new drive and wiping my other 2. Well if that isn't a good excuse for not blogging i'm not sure what is!

Uni is going, well it's going. So busy with 6 assignments due in 8 weeks, 1 is down, 1 due tues which i started today, and then another 4. I don't recommend attempting full time work, 2 uni subjects, taekwondo, netball and seeing you partner all at once, not to mention jewellery making requests. I'm either a glutten for punishement or extremely stupid. Now be nice Darius and Chris!!

Speaking of Chris i promised i'd put a link to his quest on here, the quest to get Michael Caine over for a bbq. A big quest, i wish them luck, so please help them everyone!

My other major issue at the moment is my car. Sending it in 4 times, yes 4 times to have the speedo fixed isn't fun. They have replaced the cluster, pulled it all apart, sent it to gauge works, sent it to mitsi, and found some intermittent fault on the back of the cluster? Supposedly fixed it but it keeps stopping about 14 hours later. Hmmm at least it's under warranty! And Theim City used who i bought the car from have given me a loan car, a nice 2005 Ford Focus (auto and white if you're curious). So not all bad but still a real pain! My car look like this...

I must say congrats to Deb and Dave too on the birth of Sarah. Fantastic news!!

Well that's enough for now, i will try and endevour to keep my posts a bit closer together now!
