well today a mate & I went for a test drive in the new Civic Type R (don’t worry, I haven’t changed my mind… again!) - it’s actually a really nice car, pretty pokey. the handling could be better (but maybe that’s cos I’m used the the MINI & TT’s handling) and the steering didn’t feel very responsive, but overall we were pretty impressed!
and my new S should be at the dealers towards the end of next week! woooooohooooo!
well finally, after 18 months of negotiating, I have got my pay rise up to the next banding! I’m now negotiating some back pay (18 months would be nice, but I think that’s a bit optimistic - it is the NHS after all!) 
Well thought I’d get started in here, but I don’t know what with yet - watch this space…!
