Billy, Milly & the Car

This week we have two new additions to our family; Billy & Milly. They are very tiny and orange and orange and white in colour. Yep we have goldfish. Reading the book about them I might as well have two children for the amount of work they require. Firstly we had to set the tank up and leave the water for at least 24hrs for the filtration to work, then we put in gravel and plants but we had to wash the gravel to make sure it was clean. Pete took Hannah to buy the fish today and we had to leave them in the bag of water they came in for 20 minutes for their water to equalise with ours, and then there is changing the water every couple of weeks and the palava that is going to be!!!!! Still, Hannah likes them and Josh quite liked them although he was also quite interested in banging the table which isn't a good thing as it might frighten them so Josh had to be moved out the way so as not to upset Billy & Milly. They are settling in well and tomorrow we can feed them. But we have to watch to see how much they eat in about 5 minutes so we have an idea of the amount they like to eat.
Now about the car................................
As you know from my first blog we bought a new car on new years day and since then we have hardly driven it. It has had new injectors put in, Pete changed the cam belt and the fan belt but still it wouldn't start. He checked all the voltages and they were all correct, still not starting. Very puzzling. He then changed the cam belt back 1 notch but still not starting. Meanwhile, Hannah, Josh & I have been taking the bus everywhere which is okay but rather timely, anyway on friday we went to visit some friends who had just had a baby and took them some pressies so the pram was full. Josh was in the pram and Hannah was walking. We had to take 2 buses there and 2 on the return trip, usually the buses are what are called 'kneel down' buses which means you can get prams and wheelchairs on them without any trouble but on this day 3 out of 4 buses I had to take everything and Josh out of the pram, put it down, get the stuff, kids and pram in the bus and do it all over again getting off at the other end. After got home and the kids were in bed Pete was looking at the car and was fiddling with cam belt and put it back a few notches and all of a sudden it started!!!!! Today Pete was checking the cam belt again and put it back to its normal position and then the car didn't start again. After a phone call to a car supplies place we discovered that we had the wrong cam belt!!! Once Pete had fitted the new cam belt the car started again. Yeh. BUT after Pete had gone out, I took the car out to do the recycling which had been piling up and we got there, put all the recycling away and then I tried to start the car and NOTHING. I am not the most patient person so got quite angry especially as I had the kids with me. There was nothing Pete could do as he out so I informed the supermarket about the car and then Hannah said we could take the bus and fortunately I had some money on me so we caught the bus home and left the car for Pete to pick up. He picked the car up and drove it home...very annoying. It's not right but it starts with a bit of persuasion. Its going in to the garage on Monday so hopefully they will be able to sort it out. I will let you know.............
