Its my ladies birthday tomorrow, so I suppose I better be nice and do shit like go for walks and stuff whatever she wants to do. Hmm and a nice meal but thats about it, I don't like making big things out of birthdays.. or other peoples.

after that she works on sunday , and I'm off on monday (holiday up here) so I to endeavour to drop subframe and try lift car over bottom end still in situ. I may draft in help.

*note the use of try, disclaimer*

More than likely i'll sit and hum and ho at it and get very little done.

I haven't had a haircut in about 2 years either. (I do wash)

just in so its Cup of tea time and a wee read of the evening paper.

Well I will probably end up doing a head on a turbo daily 2.5 and maybe get a haircut.

I'm quite busy and this is the first quiet time for a wee while actually.

tomorrow I bring our old fridge to the dump, bring the passat in for an oil change and a chat with my mechanic about the fuego's issues. Than take my son into town to see the new apple store that's just opened. Sunday it's just me and my boy, mommy has to work (covering for someone else)

supposed to rain all weekend, if I could trust the Renault to make the trip to town(30 mi one way trip) Sunday I'd go to the children's museum with my son, which was my plan for the weekend, but not the way it's been randomly dying and not wanting to restart.
