Wheel shafts and things....

Glad to hear that the op went smoothly Margaret, hope that you're getting a good rest. A day at a time is the best is way to go :)

On our front, we've been having car 'trouble' as well. For quite some time, I've been hearing this 'knock knock' sound whilst driving. MDH (my darling 'well informed' hubby) told me that it wasn't that important....until I pestered him to call the workshop....when we were informed by the 'all-knowing' mechanic that 'it is very serious, don't drive on the expressway'! It transpires that our wheel shafts are knackered, need replacing..plus battery etc. This has 'spurred' us on to look at new (i.e. brand-) and new (i.e. 'old') cars......and now our minds boggle. As you know, car prices in Singapore are hyper, super-duper inflated. To put it in perspective, the cheapest car in the market, a brand-new very unsafe, probably-no-airbag, made-of-tin, we-cannot-trust, unknown China made car costs 15k pounds! This saga will continue...me and my hubby will trash this one out...I'm sure he has his own take on this..haha.

Both kids are well, still 'resisting' school. It's amazing the number of excuses they can come out with....but to no avail, I've probably used all these excuses before during my heyday. Singapore's going through a bit of a dengue 'epidemic' at the moment. Approximately 100-150 new cases a day with the government declaring a 'blitz' on mosquitoes. Keep you informed on that too.

Got to go now.......will blog again soon. Hope the Chinese takeaway was tasty....kids will look forward to that when we come over next June!

Love,

Jen
