It is just one of those days....

Ok so yes I've been home for a few days but I've been extra busy so please excuse me for not blogging before. Right then lets begin, I get home on Friday night at about 4.30pm after a 5 hour train marathon so I am a) Tired b) Dirty from the tube and C) Hungry because M&S in Kings Cross is shite. So just to add to my fantastic mood I get home take one look at my car and know that something is wrong. Now I'm not a car expert or anything but I'm pretty sure that you're exhaust is not meant to trail all over the floor and make that most ridiculous rocket noise whan you drive said car. So we begin the hunt for a garage that is open on a sunday morning. Now I'm sure that when an ad in the yellow pages says 'Open 7 days a week' that means EVERY day of the week, how wrong can you get. In the end can't find one that can take me on Sunday so have to wait until today when they can 'slot me in' -their words not mine. So when i ask how much this little operation on my car is going to cost i'm expecting about £50.00 give or take a bit but no I have apparently underestimated that car world and am told that it will cost at least £125.00. £125.00!!!!! I'm a student i cannot afford this expense so I have too options, i can tie it back on with a bit of hairy band (that's yorkshirish for bungey cords) or i can go and consult that bank of mum and dad and ask for a loan. I went for the slightly more dangerous option of asking the parents and amazingly they actually gave me the money (OMG!) so I now have a shiny new exhaust and my car sounds normal again.

That's all for now folks, love
