I don’t drive myself, because I am a complete disaster at it — I took driving lessons when I was 18 and it didn’t work out too well, but I will save that tale for another time

My other half does the driving in this relationship, and he’d had the same old clapped out peugeot the whole time we had been together, but last year he finally decided to splash out and get a new car. Obviously he needed to take out a Car Loan in order to be able to afford his lovely brand new car. He did an awful lot of research before deciding which loan to go with because obviously it’s a huge commitment and we were both nervous about. He’s been happy with his decision so far so it’s all good

You should check out Autonet if you need insurance for any of your vehicles, they offer really competitively priced car and motorbike insurance and if you go by customer recommendations then you really can’t go wrong with these guys.

One of the upsides of not driving myself though is that I get to leave that part to the other half, he’s much better at that sort of thing than me because I get bored too quickly!

Another show I love to watch late at night on those obscure cable channels is ‘Spendaholics’, because I am so sickeningly sensible with my own money it always amazes me to see some of people on that show and how they deal with their own finances.

If you earn £300 a week, and spend £500 a week on handbags and eating out in nice restaurants, you are going to find yourself in debt. Duh.

It also amazes me how difficult they find it to tighten the belt once they realise they need to.

Just got back from a half price sale at Matalan, picked up a few bits for me and was looking out for some good name boots such as Rocky Boots for my dad to wear while walking or working out in the garden — my mum had tried to get him some for Christmas but could find any that he’d like for a reasonable price.

Finally I saw some that looked like they’d do the job, a nice pair of grey regatta boots, big and sturdy but not steal toe capped — they didn’t have a price on them, of course not that’s typical…I looked and looked and looked and found a few rogue labels for something that was £30, meaning they would be just £15 in the sale but there was no way to know for sure if they’d be them or not.

We decided to just take them to the til and try our look but of course, being boxing day and a half price sale things were busy busy busy, several times we decided to just forget it, but then changed our minds and decided they would so be worth the wait if they were £15.

Gosh knows how long we queued for but when we eventually got there they rang through at…£45…OK then, just my luck that they are about the only thing in the whole store not in the half price sale! Ugh.

Oh well. I will just have to get some from CopShoes.com, I hear they have awesome customer services who are on hand from 8 until late every day

Neighbours was cracking me up last week. Along with an updated title sequence that gives away several future story lines (You put Toadie with Callum and Nicola…we know it doesn’t work out with him and Steph, duh!), we were introduced to a new set — The Gym — nothing funny about that, what is funny is the amount of times it got used.

On Friday Libby was there on three separate occasions in just one episode. Suddenly and inexplicably the students of Erinsborough High have started having their PE classes there. Bridget got a job there, which is a great excuse to have Steve, Miranda and Declan popping along every five minutes and I am sure that Dan actually lives there.

Ok Ok we get that it cost you money to build a new set, but come on now, I am already sick of the sight of it!

I have thought about this in the past. My aunt had liposuction a few years ago — I could hardly notice the difference in how she looked and she already put all the weight back on and then some, so she’s not a poster girl for reasons to get it done. But then she was one of the many people who seem to think that it’s a miracle cure…get some liposuction and be thin for life, it doesn’t work like that and I know it — you still have to work on your body and diet for life!

Honestly I don’t think I’d ever actually get liposuction, but I may be tempted if I were to ever win the lottery — just to see if it would make a huge difference or not

It’d certainly be nice to get that ‘boost’, I have been stuck within the same weight range for around 6 months now despite working out and eating right.

At least I would know where to go if I did decide to get it done, mya.co.uk are industry leaders in liposuction surgery uk and I would feel confident with them, plus I love the name of the site…mya, standing for Make Yorself Amazing
