| Car in for cambelt |
| I booked my car in for a cambelt change on Friday and it is booked in for today at citroen dealership. Though the cambelt isn't really due until June 2025 I would like to keep on top of things and get it changed. I have a loan car at the moment and I have been given a citroen c5 aircross hybrid. It is a really lovely car and a pleasure to drive. Then again I have always loved the citroen range, when I do change my car again I will definantly be looking at the citroen c5 aircross. Wonder if they will swap it with my ds3, I can only dream can't I. I should get my car back tommorrow. |

| Dentist |
| I have been to the dentist today,as usual he was running late. It was painful as I thought it would be when he pulled the tooth out. The only discomfort I had was when he injected the anaesthetic to make it go numb. Didn't like that at all. Drove hone afterwards and there was so much traffic along Fairlee road going into the town centre. Glad had the tooth out feel so much better. |

| Hair dye day |
I am off to the hairdressers tommorrow morning to have my hair done again. Really looking forward to it,will be nice to get pampered hopefully I will be able to park closer to the hairdressers though I could do with the exercise and don't mind parking a bit away and then walk to the hairdressers. My roots need touching up as my hair tends to grow quite quickly. Off to the dreaded dentist on Saturday to have one of my back tooth pulled out so not looking forward to that. I was at the dentist Saturday just gone as had lost a fillingband he gave me some antibiotics to clear up the infection before the tooth is taken out. The good thing about going to the dentist will be that I can go and do my shopping at my favourite supermarket waitrose so will be a treat well worth the visit to east cowes.
Hope the weather stays nice as I don't like the rain or cold |

| Clearout day today |
| Well I had a storage unit in yarmouth isle of wight when I downsized to 2 bedrooms from a 4 bedroom property and didn't have the space to store everything in my flat. So I took on a storage container 4 years ago. It was handy to have stuff in there as the years went in I couldn't even remember what was stored so I made the decision to go to the unit and depending on what there was I would contact a man and van service to put everything in the van and take it down to the tip. I went over last night and sorted everything out I decided to bring back my life-size father Christmas a few christmas decorations a christmas tree sewing machine glass side table posh cat bed cat tree and a wall clock. The rest of the stuff was bagged up and there were some boxes. The guy with the van turned up today loaded his van and took the stuff away to be dumped at the tip. I have now given up the storage unit. So no more wondering what there is stored. I guess when you haven't unpacked and haven't needed anything you won't be needing it again so best to dump it all. |

| Car update |
| Looks like my car door handles have a mind of their own. It is a common fault on these cars. The handles all comenius when the car is unlocked and go back in when the car is locked that includes when the car is moving. My rear door handles won't pop out at all when I unlock the car unless I touch them and they pop out then they won't go in when I lock the car so I have to push them back in. The front handles sometimes come out and go back in. I took the car to peugeot and they said there was no fault but it would be better to take it to a ds dealer. Unfortunately there are no ds dealers on the isle of wight. I spoke to ds customer services who were not much help so I put in a complaint and they rung me to say that I should take the car to a ds dealership who would diagnose the car and let them know and they will then pay for repair or replacement once it is diagnosed. Unfortunately the nearest one to me is either Crawley weston supermare and further afield is birmingham. So after a few phone calls birmingham was the earliest I could book it in for the 11th June. So it's a daytrip for me to birmingham that should be interesting as I haven't been to birmingham in 5 years. With a bit of luck the car will be fixed as the cost to replace door handles is £500 supply and fit per handle. So glad I have a warranty with the car., just in case ds don't pay for the repair. I shall be getting an early morning ferry to get to birmingham and getting the late night ferry back. |

| Successful hair colour |
| I have been dyeing my hair to black at home for the last 4 years as I have some grey hair the black dye just wouldn't take my hair would come out brown and didn't do the full grey coverage. As a last resort I contact some hairdressers the one closer to me said she couldn't guarantee to get it black. Then I found a hairdressers in newport who said they could do it. I went there today had my hair dyed black had some treatment put on my hair and had a blow dry including diffusing the curls. I am really please with what has been done success at last |

| Lovely weather |
| It looks like we are going to have another nice warm week.This week has been very nice. I have been out a few times and I haven't even wrapped myself up in a thick coat. My cat has been cuddling up to me every time I sit down to watch the tv there she is staring at me, then all of a sudden she jumps up onto my lap curls up and goes to sleep. I think I definantly want to come back as a cat in my next life as cats get spoilt fed watered and they always get their own way |

| Another nice day |
| It looks like it's going to be a nice day again. It was nice yesterday until it started raining at around 6pm yesterday. I managed to change the time on my clock in the car that was so confusing so I just tapped on all the options and somehow I tapped the right one and the time was set |

| Clock all set |
| I tried to set my time on my ds3 but I just could get it set.i managed to get into the option to set date and time and it the took me to another screen with loads of choices and I just couldn't work it out so I gave up. Had to pop out again so thought give it another try and I don't know what I did but selected the right option and it set the time. Typical French cars they don't make it easy. |

| Another lovely day |
It's been really nice all over the Easter weekend and it looks like another nice day. I popped into tescos at freshwater this morning at 8 30 ,it was nice and warm I didn't even wear a coat when I went out. They have however forecasted rain later on. The days are getting longer now it doesn't get dark and miserable so early.
I am trying to sort out how to set the clock in my car have tried looking in the vehicle setting but can't find anywhere that tells me how to change the time, with a bit of patience I should find how to set the clock.
Have a lovely day and don't work too hard |

| Nice day today |
| It is bright and slightly warm hopefully we will get a nice couple of days and the bank holiday ain't be wet and miserable. Hope you are having a nice good friday. I am chilling out today my cat has decided to totally ignore me and sleep on the top of the sofa. Why do cats do this one day they are all over you and the next day they totally ignore you I will never understand how a cats mind works. Still as soon as I move to make a cuppa she will get up and ask for treats. Have a lovely bank holiday. |

| Kitty poorly |
My cat seems to have got a cold she has been coughing a few days. Other than this she seems quire lively and is running around like a headless chicken. Lately she has become very loving cuddling upto me and falling asleep on my lap.
On another note I have had a major spring clean and don't have much more to do only need to clear out stuff my storage unit as I have stuff in there that I haven't needed for the last 4 years. I shall be clearing it all out on may bank holiday.
Have a nice week whatever you are doing |

| Nice day today |
It has been a sort of pleasant day today,it was really bright this morning and I thought good we should have a warmer day today but then it rained. Then it all dried up and was brighter. They have forecast rain for tommorrow I hope it is dry rather than raining. I have been keeping myself warm and cosy lately.
Don't forget the clocks go forward on Sunday so before you go to bed on Saturday please put your clocks forward an hour and have a nice lie in as nothing will be open for Easter Sunday. |

| Rain again |
I thought the weather was getting better but it rained today. I dont really mind the rain so much but I don't like snow, though it is always nice to see fresh snow covering the ground but not very nice when it gets icy and slippery.
Don't forget before you go to bed on Saturday to put your clocks forward by an hour. You can have a lie nothing yo get up for as everywhere will be shut being Easter Sunday.
Have a nice Easter weekend. Have a relaxing one |
