Smartzstock 2013

Stacey and I travelled up to Ullswater yesterday along with Gill from work (in her Smart ForTwo) and her friend Ruth (in her Smart Roadster) where we met up with some people from the Smartz forum for the annual Smart Car owner meet. First thing we did when we got there was put the tent up...

...and we put Stumpy IN IT! Haha! That was a really good laugh :)

Then once we had sorted all our stuff out we all went out for a lovely drive round the Lake District. 5 Smart ForTwos and a Roadster and we took the ferry across to Windermere.

Of course the weather was hideous but we had a good drive and saw about 40 Figaro's out in their annual rally. They were SO pretty! Pastel pinks, blues, greens and lemon. They all peeped their horns and have us a wave. It was lovely!

We did a quiz on the evening (after copious amounts of alcohol) and we had a really good laugh. It was nice to meet some other people with a Passion for their Smart!

I think I am going to look into starting a Darlington & District Smarties Club were we can meet up once a month and go out for a nice drive!

I have had a FANTASTIC weekend!

Moving On...

So I have probably applied for about 50 jobs now and have had 1 interview for an Office Manager job - didn't get it but only because I don't have line manager experience. I think *fingers crossed* I might have a job at Student Loans - direct access from NAAFI instead of going through a temp agency. It's back shift hours 6pm-2am but for me that actually works out well :) I am really rather excited about it and hope I can turn around in a month and blog about my new job!

Smunkee production is coming on slowly, I doubt I will have the number I had planned as I only have 15 days left and only 44 Smunkees lol!

This weekend Stacey and I are going to a Smart Car rally! It sounds like it's going to be FUN! Camping at Ullswater with drunken quizzes and a Smarty Tube (drive out with only Smart cars). I will try and get some good photos!

This evening will be mostly Smunkee making with a brief stint at the pub with the Boys Brigade lot ^_^
