Mon, March 13

What a day. This morning we headed out to the local shopping center in Wood Green to pick up some more odds and ends (sheets, blanket, ironing board, and television stand). However, the journey didn't turn out exactly as planned. After buying most of the above at the local Argos store, we were informed that we could not return to our car as someone had fallen to their death from an upper floor of the car park into the high street. Consequently, the street and car parks were cordoned off by the police. So we headed to a local pub for lunch until we could get into the car park.

This afternoon we headed over to a local car showroom in Enfield and sorted out a car for us. We had hoped to buy a new one with a 0%apr deal over 4 years. However, seeing as didn't have jobs, that didn't go down well. Instead we were able to pick up a three year old 5 door 1.6 6v Vauxhall Astra that only had 3500 miles on it. The dealer had to sort out some odds and ends, so we wouldn't be able to collect it until Saturday.
