Instead of going to a friends birthday party, i went to my first Burn's Night party. And ate my first bit of Haggis. I had a good time, but certain people who went to the other party had to insist to me that they had a brilliant time, much more fun than the party i attended.

At first i felt annoyed, and then i realised. The constant referring to my (younger) age, the way that everything she does has to be the best, the most fun time, the most men snogged, the loveliest men... she's scared and jealous. I cannot help my age, and it's ok if they had a good time because i had a different kind of good time. The two couldn't be compared.

I have more interests than just parties and trying to snog men who aren't interested in me. I enjoy talking to people who have a very different lifestyle. I enjoy trying new food (haggis, neeps and tatties!), and hearing new things (Burn's poetry).

Yes i had a good night. No, i didn't go around indiscriminately snogging men. But i had good chats and good laughs, and too much mulled wine!

Today my car is in for a service and it's MOT. Which meant that i had a panic attack last night, worrying over it failing. If it fails, i will struggle to find a way to get into work. No i won't. I won't be able to. But then i thought and thought some more. I could rent a car...

I have a courtesy car for the day, it's a KA. I dislike it. It's fine to drive on the motorway when there is no traffic, but when i have to use the pedals it's a different matter. The Fiesta and the KA are essentially the same, but the seat is higher up (meaning i cannot reach the pedals easily) and the back of the chair doesn't come as far forward as the fiesta. In general it is a more tiring car to drive. It's a smoother ride, i'll grant it that, but it just isn't low enough.

Remember i bid in a yahoo auction to win a cd of "the dodgy album". Well i've had no response from the seller. I'll give him another week to respond, but then i'm going to have to give hima bad rating, which is about all i can do. At leas it was only 4 quid.

I am calmer today about the MOT. The bloke who took my details was lovely, i didn't know what to do (having never done it before) and he agreed that it coudl be a bit scary! After all, it's my baby!

Because i left early on Friday i forgot to do the Friday five.

1. what cologne or perfume do you wear? lavender. Tommy Girl. Lulu Bleu.
