Weekly Rundown: Purchasing a Panda

It's been a funny sort of week here at Chez Click, not least because it's the Easter weekend so I've ended up with a bit of a bizarre work schedule. I've completely lost track of what day of the week I'm on and spent all of Thursday convinced it was actually Wednesday (since I was home from work on Wednesday therefore in my mind we sort of skipped that day).

And what was I doing on Wednesday?

Why buying a car of course!

This car in fact:

It says 'RESERVED' because we're going to pick it up tomorrow!

I feel quite grown up buying a car. I've never done that myself before. Of course, I'm not actually able to drive. Yet. The plan is to take care of that before the end of the year is out.

Getting a new car has been on the cards for a while, but everything is falling into place for us. The running costs of our old car were starting to add up so we just decided that it would be best to go for something cheaper and more economical. And this is it.

She's been nicknamed Bluebell already and I can't wait for our trip off the island tomorrow to bring her home.

When I haven't been spending large sums of money on motor vehicles I've been trying to stay on top of the A to Z Challenge. This has not only meant writing posts (I'm trying to stay at least one week ahead of myself with the challenge posts) but also visiting other blogs and commenting there.

I'm making an effort to make a return visit to every blogger who comments here. Hopefully I haven't overlooked anyone. It's time consuming but it's also very fun. A little like NaNoWriMo, you're all embarking on something creative and crazy together and you know you're all in it together.

Oh and I'm still taking part in the Reading Challenge. I slogged through Cold Mountain, finally finishing it on Wednesday night. So now I'm reading Sherlock: Chronicles which my Mum gave Mr Click for Christmas. It's a behind the scenes look at the BBC series and I'm really enjoying it. We've recently started watching the series from the beginning (another of Mr Click's presents was the third series of Sherlock) so it's fun seeing how things were made in episodes we've watched in the last couple of weeks.

I'm sure next week you'll hear all about Bluebell and any other exciting things I get up to.

P.S. Happy Easter!
