Just when I'm buying mine & Bunni's first house, a credit crisis hits. I'm now gonna be utterly terrified until they accept our application. I suppose that applying for a professionals-only mortgage makes me a lower risk than most, but its still an awful gamble... and right before a mega easter holiday too. *whimpers and hides in the corner*

300 miles later, and I've finished the first week of my independent motoring life with no accidents or scrapes whatsoever! Typical to form I ended it tonight with a bit of a shock (driving in very thick fog), but overall I now feel comfortable with my car. Just as well really, because next weekend Bunni has me driving to Oxford! *whimpers*

After a very fraught weekend searching for used cars in the local area, Bunni's parents were kind enough to drive us around a few dealerships in search of our ideal car... and we found it on sunday in the form of a 2005 Peugeot 206 SE 1.6. Yeah, ok, it may not be massively powerful by some people's standards, but for a kitty who is used to trundling around...

Here's my new years resolutions for 2008:

• Regain peak personal fitness - With a little help from some friendly rivallry, my target this year is to get down to at least 16% bodyfat... with more as a bonus. I once managed 14% bf whilst at uni, so I know I'm physically capable of it!
• Brush my teeth TWICE daily - I've gotten into a very good habit, and now brush my teeth every night. I aim to improve this in 2008 and brush in the morning as well. It should keep...

The Successes

• Take better care of myself - A complete success! Although I did fail somewhat at cooking all my own food (Bunni won't let me cook because I'm a disaster zone), I have got into the regular habit of going to bed around 11pm, and I now brush my teeth every single night. Oh, and my sleep is excellent because my PC is now in a separate room, so I don't have to worry about leaving it on.
• Learn how to drive - After years...
