How I did it: Once I decided I needed a new car it was all quite quick. Looked every day on the Autotrader website and rang people if I saw a nice one. Finally I came across a 2006 modle which was still there so went to have a look and bought it! 4 days later I went to pick it up. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Writing the code etc wasn't too bad. I've been on a course about web design and I had my book. The scary bit was going live. http://www.thrivelandscapes.streamlinenettrial.co.uk/index.htmlBut I'm well pleased with the end result. Its pretty close to how we wanted it and I'm amazed that I did that! Rock on! Read how I did it…

I’ve got a little Ford Ka at the moment and love it. But its getting old and things are starting to go wrong – its getting expensive. Best to get a new one I fear, but what to get?
I’ve love a mini, but I think I might end up with another Ka as they are a good little car and something I can afford!
Ok so A363 – Advanced Creative Writing doesn’t start till 10th Oct, but the books turned up last night. I was kinda ignoring the fact I’d signed up for the course, but I can’t do that now.
I’m scared and excited in equal measure. Wish I’d done more (any) writing over the summer!
