I think it is time for a new Battery...

My car refused to start the other night.  I had put my car behind hubby's so that the little kiddies could walk up the driveway to get their goodies on Halloween night.  Hubby requested that I go pick something up at the store for him, I got in my car, and it coughed and said "I ain't going no where"... So I go get the battery charger and find that I need a second extension cord to reach the battery.  We don't have a second extension cord..  So I decided to ask the hubby to help me push the car into the street so that I can get his car out...  We go to push my car, but alas, the steering was locked...  And so parked in a most unusual way in the driveway.  Actually looked like a drunk had come and parked it...   Hubby having a 4x4 massive thing, managed to get out from the front of my car up over the curb (thankfully we don't have 100% nice grass) and he ended up going to the shops for himself.

Car battery is now charged and my car has a nice warm spot in the garage again.  Now tomorrow is a new set of winter tires. I think I will ask about a new battery while there... Maybe even a service.. Mind you last time I asked about a service the guy did not want to do it because he normally does not service my type of car. But I figured it is past warranty,  and I plan to drive it until it dies, so if I need special parts for it I can just order them for him. Otherwise I don't mind him servicing it at all. I am sure he'd do a good job, friend of the family and all... :)

It's not what you know it's who you know.. LOL

Here is my little girl on a zoo visit, being held by my mother.. Mum was calling me to come watch, you could probably hear me scream back "I can't". What you would not hear is the next bit "BECAUSE I AM CHASING AFTER FRANCIS"....

In the second vid, We were playing coo coo, and I got the vid to see if she'd do it on her own and she did... :) Proud Maman.

Ok it snowed last week.. Just a little.. Enough to upset my Jag...  But only long enough to get to the top of one hill...  My father in-law has a steep driveway and I got stuck at the bottom. It surprise snowed us, and I don't yet have my winter tires...  I brought brand new tires for the summer and next week I'll have the winter ones.. Anyway I could not get out so the FIL got in the car and helped me out.. 

He got in, put it in sports mode, and floored it to the top of the hill.. When I got to the top of the hill I could smell my Brand new summer tires Melting.. :) Oh well that did not last long on the snow.. Got home safe enough though... 

There was something I was going to blog about, but have totally forgotten what it was all about..

Oh wait..

My little girl can't get up on her knees (or just does not want to) to crawl. She still gets around like G.I. Jane..

Anyway yesterday I watched her climb from the downstairs lounge all the way up to her bedroom.. She was most proud of herself. I had to stand behind her to make sure she did not fall because well other then she is still really tiny, she wanted to try sitting on the step a couple of times but realized she could not so soldered on to the top...  Oh big smiles when she got there... LOL

Other then that.. Life is still plodding along..

Now while I am having a small string of luck there is some bad in there as well.. More so for the hubby...

My husband handed over the keys to a brand new house to one of his clients on Friday who had installed their new dishwasher and started painting...

A couple of weeks back someone broke into the model house he has and smashed their front door (I will never have a glass door). Due to having no phones yet (because the phone company is incompetent) they are yet to be able to install the alarm system.  Anyway there was minor damage done... Now out of all the contractors there he was the only one broken into. 

But this week.....

The poor people who happily received their keys to their brand new home, installed the dishwasher, only to have the police call them to tell them the house had been broken into.. .

Hubby got called to the office at 6am this morning by these clients and found that their kitchen was missing... They took all the new cupboards, but this time theirs was not the only house that was broken into... The other model houses too.. They all had stuff taken.. Who ever did it knew what they were doing.  It had to be someone else setting up house because they stole the kitchen cupboards, the peoples brand new dishwasher and from other houses the new fixtures and other stuff like that....

Honestly what is this world coming too???????????
