:: life :: Time to Let Go

Oct 11, 2008 19:06

Over 100,000 miles loyal service to my family, the Skoda Felecia, which had been passed to my stewardship, has now retired. An MOT failure of rust (and incorrect colour indicators, oddly) which makes it un-economical to repair, despite what I put out not six weeks ago on the brakes. ime to let go. Take the stero out, drain the petrol out of the tank and let some scrap merchant take her away to profit from what she has left.

Left me a little shellshocked at first, as I honestly thought the work I had done would have been all that was needed (I don't think I will go back to that garage). Knocks my financial planning back a few months, but I'll swallow it up and move on. Already spent the afternoon on Autotrader and identified a couple of new kona-mobiles.

Fell to the grot on Thursday. Just took the one day off when I was feeling the hwole ache and shiver, now just a bit of snottiness and coughing reamins. Vitamins FTW! Sarah has pretty much recovered now, too.

Now, I just wait on my baked potato...
