Got the car through it's MOT at last on the second re-test..dropped my usual garage and found another one.
Somehow the lads eeked out of me that I was now a seperated woman with two children so perhaps they gave me and the car the sympathy vote.
BUT the best bit was when they said "oh you will find someone new without any problems"..I stopped myself giggling like a 19 year old and accepted the compliment.
So the course is out of the way, the cars fit for another year, I still have enough money to live on this month and payday in five days...SO I AM DOING OK...yipee.
Now onto planning
