Rollocks of the none rowing kind beginning with B....

Ok.. soo a bit of an update on the whole what's happening in my little world then..

The weekend was spent trying to get rid of a cold I seem to have picked up along the way (I blame it on Monday night personally!).. that and sleeping... I don't think the number of late nights I had over the week prior did me any good... probably made my Man Flu (aka cold... see I do recognise it's not real flu!) worse than it was. The show this week went pretty well... but got in the way of the weekend... not that I can complain too much as I need the money - I thinkI've parted with everything I dare part with on ebay now... I seiously considered selling my projector and camera (yes it is that bad!). It wouldn't be as bad if the bloody bank didn't keep charging me when I have no money... "we are sorry to say that there wasn't enough money in your account to pay XYZ so we have paid it anyay and charged you an extortionate fee for the privelege... please note that this now means your acount is over its agreed overdraft limit and as such charges will be raised in accordance with notified terms and condition!" ARG!

Anyhow... on the car front I've now got mine back... yet i've still got the other one! They tried to ring me earlier on to fin out where I wanted it to go... well I couldn't answer as I was busy at work so they left a voicemail for me to ring back.. which I forgot to do as I was so busy at work... it's show week next week so I'm busy getting ready for it. I even got so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn't realise it was quarter past three when I left. Oops! I'll not put in in as overtime though cos it was my choice... Did some shopping on the way home from work for food and stuff so didn't gt in till just after 5... as i was drivng down my road a car looking incredibly like mine went past on the back of a lorry... turned round at the end of the road and drove back just as I was getting through my door... timing or what. It appears then they in me not calling them back they decided to just bring it to my home address anyhwow... who knows what they would have done had I not have been in!

So what is it with my car then? It's a theoretical write off in that it would cost them more to repair than it's worth... so by not repairing t or writng it off I've got to keep the car and not pay the excess... which is a bit weight off the old mind! It does mean that I have a dinked and scratched car tho..

Guy that brought it asked where I wanted it as it was a none runner... "WHAT" says I! It was running when the guy who collected it drove it onto the back of the truck! Major panic! Man says it could just be the battery... but when I got in the car to steer it down off the truck all the things that work off the battery worked so it wasn't that! "Don't supose it's got an imobilser does it?" asketh the man... well yeah.. "OH..wanna try disable it for me then?"

Wadda ya know... starts first time.... GRR! He got me all woried cos he didn't know that it had an imobiser!

So... then I decided that I didn't want to leave both cars out the front till I get rid of the other... so thinking I take it up to parents and leave mine there... cue lots of faffing around... and me scratching the car even more.... lets just say I won't be trying to park it at back of parents over christmas... well I won't try it in the dark again :( didn't want to let parents see the damage I'd now done to car so gave it up as a bad job... reversed it back onto path.. getting it stuck in the process... got it free and covered my tracks... well.. used the watering can to wash tyre tracks of patio.... then came home...

Let's just say I'm fed up now... waiting till morning to see how bad the scratches look and prob get some stuff to paint over them with... well pissed off!

It was really weird driving my car again.. hadn't realised how much bigger the yaris is.... that and power steering... nice breaks... higher seat... damn... I want a newer car... maybe then I would be more careful with it? I do now have a plan though... have it serviced and overhauled over christmas (when I don't need to drive to work) then run it into the ground... while saving up for either the deposit on a new(er) one on finance just buy one outright...

Anyway... waffled on enough for now.. need to get back to work for the evening...
