Just typical!!!

I sat here last night in my pj's (I know ~ I am very sad ha ha !!!) ~ all snuggled up on the sofa ~ with the fire going ~ all warm and toasty ~ ready and waiting for Ugly Betty to start!! I have missed this show so much over the Summer ~ while it was side lined for Big Brother (which was a big load of rubbish!!).

At last 9pm came and the titles started ~ oh how I have missed you Ugly Betty ~ the show started ~ and then DARKNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took me a minute to work out that the power had gone ~ I thought that maybe using the fire had caused a fuse to click off ~ but it was soooooo dark ~ and when I looked out the curtains ~ there were no street lights ~ no lights in the other houses ~ it looked like there was no power anywhere in our little village ~ probably thanks to the storm we were having!!!

So, I missed Ugly Betty (boo hoo) ~ I will have to try and watch a catch up episode !!
In my boredom I went to bed (with a torch) and read quite a bit of Breaking Dawn ~ by torch light ~ I haven't done that since I was a child ~ reading under the covers with a torch (although I didn't have my head under the covers last night ha ha !!!!!).

There was still no power when I finally went to sleep at 11pm .

It is back on now, thank goodness ~ if you saw the state of my hair this morning ~ I would not be going anywhere ~ without the use of my precious hair straighteners!!!!!

Well, I am just off out to clean out the old car and take all our stuff out of it ~ I have to collect the new one at 10.30am ~ and all 3 of us are excited!!

All I have to do now is get used to having a 7 seater and of course driving a different car (no problems there ~ I have driven lots of different cars over the years) ~ it will be the parking of said new 7 seater that will be the problem ~ I am the worlds worst parker EVER ~ ah well ~ we will just have to park at the very top of the multi storey for a while, when we go shopping ~ where no one else parks (tee hee!!!) . I am sure I will get the hang of it eventually...........I will hopefully be back later with some photos of my new baby (car that is!!!)XXX
