September.....

Today is September 1st ~ the start of yet another new month!! I am not sure where this year has gone, I think that I must have blinked on January 1st and all of a sudden it is September!!

Where was the summer?? a few weeks of hot weather was it!! Now it feels Like Autumn and the nights are getting darker earlier ~ I went to buy a birthday card today and the card shop was full of christmas cards ~ already!!

I have decided today that I need to buy a new car!! There are several reasons for this ~ firstly my car is getting old, it has done oodles of miles (and has started making alot of funny noises too!!) ~ and also I need a bigger car ~ by bigger I mean seating room and not engine. Being a Childminder ~ when I have Dan and Loz in the car aswell as the two children that I currently care for (and me of course!!) ~ there is no spare seat ~ so I need a 7 seater!!

My friends husband has been keeping an eye out and has spotted a Vauxhall Zafira ~ which is only a few years old, hasn't done many miles and seems great all round!! It is black ~ has lots of added extras and is in my price range!! I am very excited ~ I have booked to go to the bank on Friday ~ to finalise the paying for it bit! I am looking at the car tomorrow night and taking it for a test drive ~ so I will let you know how that goes. I haven't had my own car for years ~ the car that I have at the moment was the car that my ex and I had when we were married and I had no choice but to keep it ~ as at the time I couldn't afford a new one ~ so now it feels brilliant to be choosing what I want and doing it myself ~ I have waited a long time for this and now it is all coming together! By the weekend I could have a new car ~ be ready for lots of new car photos soon ~ if it all comes together! (keep your fingers crossed that it all goes right!!).
