And now for the past couple of months the car’s becoming difficult to start. Even I know that’s the starter motor going, because the car runs fine once it gets going. And it’s getting progressively worse so I know it’ll only be a matter of time before it just doesn’t start at all.

Also one of the back windows doesn’t work anymore and the driver’s side window opens on a whim. The heating only goes to full blast and no longer works on any other setting but high. And the radio no longer works so I play nothing but CDs.

But hey, that’s been my old bird for the past 10 years. No major problems until the clutch cable snapped last Christmas (remember that). The brake pads needed replacing during an MOT and the windshield wipers decided to give up on a day it started to rain and I had to hang my head out the window (that didn’t work properly) to get to the garage so I could get new ones.

But it’s a Nissan and it’s been a strong old bird. I dug out my log book and I read the date that I purchased it was 28th July 2000. So it’s basically 10 years to the day since I first bought it.

I’ll have to make sure and work my arse off in Manchester and see if I can’t get an old runaround to last a year or so until I can save up for a decent car – I’ve always fancied a Honda CR-V. My car was supposed to go for its MOT after I got back from Manchester but I don’t need a genius to tell me that it won’t see me through another winter unless I chuck money at it and I know when to stop throwing good money after bad. At least the guys at the garage can stop pointing and laughing when they see me coming.

*Sniff*. I’m feeling a bit teary-eyed at the moment. I’m going to have a quiet moment looking out the window at the car then I’m going to get ready for my 5.30pm. *Sniff*

RIP Old Bird.

I had totally forgot about it and was having a bit of a tidy up today (as you do after the holidays) and I found the letter in a pile of mess. Hoping that there wasn’t some sort of time limit to these sort of claims, I called my insurance company and guess what? I’m getting a refund.

Guess how much? £35. Woohoo! And that’s with interest apparently. I’m to expect a cheque in 6-10 working days. I’ll have to be careful how I spend it. I don’t want to go all crazy,lol.

I may just be a little person in their eyes, but because of their totally arrogant behaviour I’ll no longer be shopping there. I’m in the market for a wireless printer as my Dell is giving me grief. My partner wanted to go to PC World. I told him not on your life. Too many other websites, let alone stores, to choose from.

Consider me a satisfied customer.

Christmas leftovers.

Well, mine was a nice and quiet affair, just the immediate family until yesterday, but they’ve gone to Scotland for the New Year, which means I’m on my own and I can playyyyy.

But I gotta say, a few of you gents need spanking. What part of “I won’t be available until the 28th” do you not understand? C’mon guys. I’ve switched my phone on today and I’ve got missed calls going back to Boxing Day, including a few from yesterday! I know you’re horny and you want nothing more than to get away from the festivities, but it does say on the main page that I’d only be around for New Year’s, please have a look at my blog for dates and details. And I couldn’t have made it clearer on here could I? Honestly. What to do with horny blokes when they’re thinking with the wrong head,lol. I also got a withheld number calling me this afternoon. Ooooh, come on now, you really didn’t think I was going to answer it did you? You know, the same place in which you got my number from my website, where it says directly underneath that I don’t answer them? Whoever that was, bless your cottons for trying.

Anyway, I’m back to work now. Available all this week for incalls at Victoria or outcalls to you. Whichever’s more convenient. I probably maybe over-indulged just a teensie weensie bit, so how about helping me work it back off?

Anyway, for those interested I thought I’d let you know of my availability during the holidays:
I’ll be available up until Christmas Eve, that’s this Wednesday for those who haven’t realised just how close Christmas is. Then I’ll be taking a break from then on until Saturday 27th, available again from the 28th onwards.
That means I’ll be working all the way through New Year’s. Yup, that’s New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day for those who’ve had their fill of constant celebrations with the family, and just want to get away and get up to some really naughty business with a really horny ho-ho-ho. Geddit?:-)

I’m not a big drinker, never have been, so it’s not as if I’ll be nursing any hangovers. There’s a Jamaican Rum Punch that I like to make every year, that’s as heavy as it gets. The worse thing I’ll probably get up to is too many mince pies,lol.

Anyway, if you can get away I’m available for incalls as usual, at my base in Central London, two minutes walk from behind Victoria Station on the Circle and District Line or mainline station. Otherwise I’d be happy to come visit you at home or at a hotel.

Please do drop me a line or give me a call. I’ll still have access to my emails, and my mobile will be back on from the evening of the 27th onwards.

I look forward to having you.x

(Meanwhile I hope the below pic puts a smile on your face.)
