Wheels and No Deals

Not been a good couple of days and things don't seem to be improving!

First, my dad's car went for its MoT yesterday and it failed. The garage estimated that the work would cost upto £800 to make it road safe again - which is more than the car is worth! to add to this - when it was recently serviced they said it would need new shock absorbers, a new tyre and a couple of new brake pads to pass. That got done and now it needs more!! The thng is that while doing the brake pads you would think they would notice the brake pipes need doing - or is it just me being stupid. So after paying around £200 to get things sorted and now my dad has 5days or so to either get it repaired or by a new car - and being a pensioner - he's not exactly flush - and the £200 he spent on 'getting it up to standard' could have gone towards a new car! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

Secondly, Nigel is getting down again and my feelings are growing stronger again. Nick always manages to make Nigel feel low or guilty. I can't help taking Nigel's side though cos I feel the way I do, even though they are both my friends. If only feelings could be switched off.

Thirdly, a certain woman is still getting on my wick. I so wish I could take her down a peg or 4!

Finally, my next essay is due tomorrow and my German Presentation is on Friday - think I need to work 24 out of 24 to getting things good. Oh, my German exam on Thursday went ok - could have been better but the main thing was I knew the topic like the back of my hand after studying it at GCSE and A level History, A level German and at Uni!!
