That’s right, it’s been a quiet week so far in the Corin household as I’m all by myself.
However, before you all chime in with “I knew it had to happen eventually”, I should tell you that she’s just gone to the Lake District for a few days with our friend Amy from New Zealand.
It was a somewhat spur of the moment decision, she left on Sunday morning and I think is coming back on Thursday.
So I’ve been getting up to plenty of football watching, game playing and PC overclocking.
In exciting news this week, we received our UK Drivers Licenses, which means we can finally buy a car. We could have bought a car beforehand, but having UK licenses saves us about £200 a year on insurance. Just in case you’re wondering, that brings the annual bill for third party, fire and theft insurance down to approximately £700. Ouch. But you have to do what you have to do.
We’ve also got a public holiday this weekend, and I’m really looking forward to it. The last couple of weeks have been pretty tough at work, lots of long, stress-filled hours. If we have a car by then, we may even venture afield. I guess time will tell.

Db, sorry I made you look like a raving lunatic by changing Bruce’s name from Pete to Bruce. I must have ticked the “remember me” box when I was posting from their house.
On the Angel of the North comment, I remember being stoked about the comment… But I blame Megan for not responding, it was her post after all…
Well, if I may speak in my own defence …. as you know db I am VERY new to this whole blogging thing and I didn’t even know that the comments section existed on our site. So I blame Pete for not orientating me well enough to the programme I am expected to use & not telling me that there was a comment that needed responding to!
