Beep Beep Beep

I was out shopping a few days ago and almost got run over by someone in a wheelchair after she’d got out of her Toyota Sienna wheelchair van, I was furious because the woman in the chair it had absolutely no regard for any one — I get that it must be difficult to get around and probably frustrating when people don’t help out by clearing the way a little — but that doesn’t mean she gets to just ride it as fast as she wants where ever she wants — that thing was big and would have hurt a lot if she had actually caught me and she was only an inch or so away. I would have had a serious word with her, if she’d slowed down enough that by the time I got my composure back she hadn’t been out of sight!

Thankfully not every one is like that. My friend needs a scooter sometimes and he’s always very considerate of others :)

MobilityWorks.com sell handicap accessible vans both large and small across America, they are one of the leading providers in the country with many years experience behind them. So if you need a van either for yourself, a loved one or any one else then visit their site and check out what they have to offer.

Dad the Rev Head

April 16th, 2009

My dad knows his way around Toyota engines like I know my way around my local shopping mall — he’s been working with them since I was a small child and still tinkers whenever he can now that he’s retired.

He sometimes used to buy beat up and broken down engines, not just Toyota but any he could get his hands on at a good price, fix them up and give them a clean and then sell them on at a profit — he loved doing it and my Mom loved the extra money so it was a win win situation. He got ripped off a lot along the way by some dodgy dealers though, even as a self professed expert he was conned a few times so I feel for people who aren’t in the know about engines.

Visiting Family

January 25th, 2009

Just wanted to let you know that I won’t be around for a week or so because I am headed down the country to stay with family.

I am quite nervous about it because they are family from my husbands side that I am yet to meet — and from every thing he and the rest of his family have told me they are quite hard to please.

I am not great at first impressions at the best of times, but I am even worse when I am nervous.

I am sure it will be fine though. We’ll be staying at their house so at least, I hope it’ll be fine!

See you in a week.

So who am I?

January 21st, 2009

Well how rude, in my excitement to get blogging I completely forgot to introduce myself to you!

My name is Anne, I am 29 years old and was born and bred in the UK but moved out to America two years ago to be with my man.

We are moving house in a few months time. We are getting married in December 2009. We currently have no children and no plans to have any any time soon. I work from home full time doing a variety of things.

I have lost 5 stone over the last two years.
I love Nintendo and am always playing my Wii, NDS and N64.
I love nothing more than a good shopping session and am the bargain queen.
I love television, especially reality shows and soaps.

And that is me in a nut shell :)
