I signed the paperwork yesterday; pay-for and pick-up on Wednesday morning! Which will be the last day of this month, and so technically I have kept my first New Years Resolution!

Now I am broke again, after many months of hard saving. And thanks to the wonderful boy that is Skit, I owe no bank for my new baby

Can’t wait ’til Wednesday!!

Ta Daaa!

Just a plane boring long-stitch frame, a few bits and pieces of my car, and penty of hot glue Thats me in the photo making like a hood ornament, the day after my 21st.

Sensational Sigma Forevaaa

The call centre I’ve been casual at for the last couple years has made a bunch of changes for the new year- starting with making several of the more “senior” staff permanent full-time. I’m now the 2pm- 10pm Team Leader; Monday to Friday, weekends off, time-in-lieu for public holidays, sick pay and holiday pay, and a pay-rise on top! I’ve just finished my first week in the role- didn’t want to post too early in case I jinxed it

The main thing I was worried about was how my parents would react to me taking a full-time job thats not teaching- but they were really excited! Such a relief. I’m spending most afternoons up-skilling the new staff we adopted before Christmas, and with the next round of recruiting in Feb I should be doing alot of training in the near future!

Things to do on weekends (now that I have them):
~ Get to Australind/ Collie more often
~ Do stuff in the unit (paint, garden- behave you miscreants)
~ Buy a new car by the end of this month

That should do for now.
*nay*

Handed back the plate. Told the guy the other was lost, presumed stolen.

Now for my first New Years Resolution: a new (second hand) car by the end of this month. Looking at VT Commodores- while I’m still young enough to want a commodore. The catch is I want manual transmission, and they came with auto standard. There’s a couple in the Auto Trader though, so I should be able to do it.

Nearly time to go to work; need to make sangas for dinner.
*nay*

Alas, this is all that remains of my Sensational Sigma.

And at least one of these has to be handed in so I don’t get hounded for rego money. Being the sentimental sap that I am, however, I have decided to keep a plate, a key and immobiliser jellybean, and my radiator cap. Together with a photo of me sitting on the bonnet, it should make a fun framed memento of my very first set of wheels!

I’ll post pics when I put it together

Farewell little car!
