Well today has shaped up a lot. I got up early with the kids while Jared attempted to sleep in. It just doesn't work. Ethan is so loud and Lily wants attention, it's just not going to happen! After getting them up and dressed, fed and wrapped up warm we drove to Treads to pick up our car. We are going to follow a lead from a guy that was recommended to us from Dave Wilkins.
When we got there, our car was still in the garage, boxed in behind another car. When they say '10 minutes' to move a car, it means an hour. So we took Ethan to Peter and Pauline's, took out the rent money, attempted to pay it (they weren't in) and then back to the garage. The car still hadn't been moved! We eventually got it back, and the spare tyre and hood and drove it to this guys garage. He was awesome. He told us to put antifreeze in the radiator and wait to see if the heating works. If not, then it will cost a max of £80 to sort. Not £270. So i picked up some antifreeze for Jared and fed it into the radiator...it worked! Huzzah! We haven't lost our second car!
After that, we drove back over to Peter and Pauline's and went for dinner at Trefil, by Tredegar for food. It was really nice. The snow was coming hard now. We spent the rest of the day back at P&P's, talking and doing a bit of family history. We got the call from Nanny that Hilary Wilcox had passed away. She had been battling cancer for a few years now, and lost the battle today. I feel a little envious of her, knowing that she is will Philippa now.
The snow had really fallen now, so we took it easy in getting back home. Ethan played outside in the snow with Jared while i put little Lilsie to bed. I spent the rest of the evening washing the floor where Ethan puked yesterday, get on with the washing, hoovering and cleaning before going to bed.
