Car back at last but am broke now LOL

                        

 

I've lost track of the days LOL...Last week i was on a lower dose of these pills and my body got used to them by sat...On tues i had to start taking higher dose and am knocked for six again...Don't think i have slept so much in years...I've never needed a lot of sleep so it's ever so slightly annoying but at least i don't feel all foggy for a few hours after i eventually waken enuff to get up properly...I have managed to waken long enuff to get the boys up and out to school.

So tues i got my car back, FINALLY, just after 5pm...The mechanic explained why it took so long...MOT's are now all computerised...The testing station MUST have the car hooked up to a computer for at least an HOUR to test...So even though there is nothing wrong with the car and the MOT only takes 20 mins it still has to be hooked to the computer for an hour...They can only do 6 MOT's in a day and 2 re-tests...now considering if your car fails you only have 3 days in which to get it fixed then re-tested for free to me this is some dark scheme to make you have to pay for re-test...The tyre that failed was the one i thought must be LOL...My bill is £288 <OUCH> ...Tyre i know will have been around £25, numberplate hmmm i know you can get them for around a fiver...I have no idea if i have been charged for fixing the handbrake...Personally i don't think i should have been but i don't actually have the bill to see yet...Mechanic did say that it was this ball joint thing that cost so much...Not for the actual part but the taking out of old one and fitting new one as it's in an awkward place...This computerised system has been in place for the last year...All testing stations had a year's grace to actually get it up and running...Unfortunately the testing station they use left it all until the last minute hence all the chaos...I can see the garage owner having a few words with the place when he gets back from his hols...Oh well i have the car back and it's legal and am mobile for another year <fingers crossed>

Yesterday K went off down south to visit her boyfriend for a few days...She's back on sat...One of his younger brothers has already given her a bloody nose LOL...Her fella doesn't think she will survive the chaoticness (is that a proper word???) of their house LOL...As she says if she can live with the boys she can survive anywhere ROFL...So what did i do yesterday...Well i slept all morning <sigh> ...I woke long enuff to catch a whole 2 seconds of an article they had on This Morning...Read about it this afternoon on their website...It's about the lack of respite in this country for parents of children with disabilities...Something i can very much empathise with...To be honest these pills may help but even if they do overnight care and regular breaks from the boys would do me far more good...It's all well and good having respite during the day but being able to go out in the evening, even if just down to the pub, and to be just ME for a few hours would be better...Still i could dwell on it forever and a day and not much difference be made so no point on dwelling on it...Maybe me now being on these anti depressants will give a teensy shove in right direction i dunno...Last night i had to try and sort out some stuff that i do online and try and find out what needs to be done as am floundering a bit in the darkhere with it all just now...But i will get it all sorted out one way or another :o)

Today i've tried to phone and get a human being on the other end to answer my question LOL...Kept getting answering thingy...Don't you just hate that when you have a question to ask someone...On sat in Scotland FREE bus travel becomes available ALL OVER scotland for OAP's and disabled...Well back when the applications were filled out for the boys new concessionary passes we were told that they would arrive early this week...Have they heck <sigh> My mum who lives in a different area got hers last saturday...If they're not in the post tomorrow then i am going down to the office to ask why not...Problem is our postie is not delivering our post until 1pm or after now...Which gives me about 40 mins to go into town and back...The boys finish school early tomorrow as it is beginning of the easter holidays...Oh the message on the answering machine says they can still use their old ones until the new ones come though but that is beside the point...Also that is they can be used in the city ONLY not anywhere else...Considering this was all sorted out back in january/begfeb it's ridiculous they are now taking ages to post them...Can you tell am annoyed LOL

Well at least i have my car back LOL...It's even parked right in front of my block SHOCK...First time since before christmas LOL...I was going to wash it as there must have been a lot of seagulls using it for target practise round at the garage but it's raining today so the rain has done the job for me LOLOL...Mind you although we have rain it's not cold which is good

Toodle pip tc xx
