The 'Twizy'

Those household bills getting you down?
Afraid that the car you're driving is affecting the environment?
Fear not, for help is at hand, with the brand spanking new Renault Twizy!!!



With it's um.... 'unique' design and boast about zero emissions into the atmosphere, your Sim is bound to be a lot happier driving one of these... er.... 'concept cars'.


Price: 5,200 Simoleans

Free choice of paint combinations.

Speed = 4 (whatever that means in Simland)

The only downside to this car is the fact that it's a single Sim ONLY.
Not enough room to fit an extra passenger.




Oh and forget the baby seat, that's a no-go area too.

But apart from that, this natty little vehicle is perfect for getting about.

Yours absolutely free from the Sims Store.

**please note**

Does NOT sit on the parking drive like all the other cars.


No, seriously, Gareth and Rhonda decided that it was about time Katie had her own set of wheels. As she'd been so kind enough to give up her time to 'keep house' for them whilst they've been so busy with work and the kids. Oh and gadding about delivering packages etc.

Besides, the poor woman's starting to get a little stir crazy, cooped up in those four walls all the time. So a nice set of wheels is just what she needs.

After all, it'll be a lot easier to handle than that souped up beast that Rhonda owns.

And All Because The Lady Loves ......

No seriously, I was looking through the pictures, trying to see if there are any that were good enough for another update. And I came across these.....



It got me thinking.....

About an advertising campaign way back when ..... for a certain box of chocolates and a 'mysterious man in black', here in the UK.

For those of you unfamiliar with this campaign (either too young to remember it, or it wasn't shown anywhere else outside the UK).....

Here it is....



Doesn't Gareth remind you of the 'mysterious Man in Black'?
Tell you what, I'd happily accept a box of chocolates from him any day!!!!!

Peter


*** Warning, picture heavy***

Yep, it's that time again. Gratuitous baby pics.




You look mighty proud of your son there Gareth.

'Hell yeah, a Virtuoso and an Artist too, who'd have thought huh?'

My thoughts exactly.

'He's going to go places.... I can tell.'



This time of Gareth's youngest boy in the family..... Peter.




Isn't he simply adorable?




And you all thought Alice was cuuuute!!!!




Even when he's grouchy and hungry and needs sleep badly, you simply can't, and I mean CAN'T resist this little fella.




He's definitely a firm favourite with everyone.




Mom and Dad like to carry him around and snuggle him.




Especially around the garden too.



'Who's a cute little fella huh?'

Aww, nice to see Rhonda taking a more active part in Peter's little toddler life there.



'Who da man? Huh? Who da man?'




Uh, Gareth, I think you're scaring him there!

'Nah, he's loving it.... see, he's smiling.'




Remember the last time you heaved someone up in the air?

'Ah, yeah, good point. You know though, I have no idea what shampoo he uses, but his hair smells damned good!!!!'




'Want to look at the pretty mobile instead do ya?'




However, Joshua seems to think differently. Especially after he's been woken up by Peter having a nasty nightmare about being lonely.




'Can't you get that kid to sleep dad?'




'He's just teething son, and a little bit hungry, that's all.'




'Well, get him a different room, I'm sick of sharing and getting no sleep. Alice has her own room. Why can't he, or I for that matter?'




'We'll talk about it later, okay? I'm trying to get your brother settled down here.'




'I hate him.... I REALLY REALLY HATE that kid right now.'



*plots many ways of torturing kid brother*




Methinks there's going to be a lot of sibling rivalry as soon as Peter grows up here!!!

Not so much with Alice though. She seems more than a little concerned about her colicky, finicky little brother.

'I think he's way past his bed time dad.'




'I know, I was thinking that myself, pity he's so clingy lately.'



Do you think that Peter's cottoned onto Joshua's devious plans?

On another note, I'm pretty sure Gareth's a 'secret' Family man.
How so?
I caught him dreaming about toys the other day!!!!



'Mmm, building blocks.... niice.'
