Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs. “Turnwell” who got married on Friday the 9th of June at just gone 3pm. It was a marvellous ceremony and I hope my sister can make a decent man of “Moggy”

[added after comment from the bride]

Sorry, so you did – the wedding was on Saturday the 9th of June, but I actually had to be up there for the 8th to the 10th as I was Ushering (and I ushed very well 😉 ).

Wohooo! Go me! I’ve just passed my Car driving Practical Test first time with only 8 minor faults (every single one of them I knew about as I did them). Woot!

I can now legally drive on the roads of the UK all on my own (well, once I get car insurance which my other half is trying to sort out).

Go me!

Admittedly, I did think I failed (as I didn’t quite stop in time for a set of lights: I should have continued going), but still first time pass! Woo!

If you are looking for driving lessons in Leicester, I’d recommend contacting Stephen Chamberlain as he’s the guy that got me through.

My other half just spotted a fox lurking around in our jungle garden that she’s recently been working her little heart out cleaning and getting into control.

It looks like the fox is familar with the garden area (even though the garden has been changing in the past few weeks) and we just wonder if we’ll see some more of it soon.

I’m just trying Amazon’s new AStore system and thought if you like my blog and are stuck on ideas what to get people for Christmas, then you may be interested in What I’ve recently purchased from Amazon UK for myself and my family…

Dunno if it’ll help, but it’s just been a “difficult to buy for” year this year and I’m sure others are as stuck as I was – so hopefully it’ll be helpful for somebody!

I started cleaning the house this morning/last night and since then, I’ve had the following:
* Kitchen sink blocked needing the piping to be removed and manually cleared
* Dishwasher flooding
* Half the ceiling of my “shed” (actually part of the house) fell down
* Boiler stopped working.

I think my house is trying to tell me “Cleaning me is not good!” 😀
