As I mentioned previously I came home from uni on Sunday. I actually really impressed myself on my journey. Firstly let it be known that I hate driving. Driving in the snow on the way home was not as terrifying as I expected it to be. It was scary but I didn’t seem to mind it, unusually!

I also had ‘issues’ with my sat nav. It wouldn’t calculate a route, anywhere, it was constantly coming up with errors and crashing. I suppose that’s to be expected when its running on windows mobile. I know the route home anyway but I was slightly worried as I’m planning a trip to South Hampton soon. I’ve had problems with it before too. If the cable isn’t in exactly the right position, and I mean by the millimeter it wont recognise the PDA and doesn’t work.

I got home and unpacked all my stuff. In the process I pulled another muscle in my chest. (For those that don’t remember/know the story) This time its on the breastbone, still on the right side just above my bewb. Its so annoying, why me! If it gets any worse I’m going to have to start taking those painkillers again.

Anyway, I digress, I told my parents about my crappy sat nav, which has served me pretty well tbh. Twenty minutes later my dad and I are in the car heading for Halfords! My dad does go a little overboard, I was thinking ooh lets get the cute little one, but because my dad will be using this when we go to Florida in July he got the biggest, fattest, most expensive one there! TomTom Go 520.

It does everything. You can plug your ipod into it, it has 5 hour battery life (the rest had 2) but the best features of all, not only does it tell you when there’s speed cameras coming up. It calculates your speed using its satellite positioning and tells you when your going too fast. It also tells you the speed limit on the road your on. My mum and I found this particularly useful when we went to ikea yesterday.
