How rubbish is that?

 Today - I have been mostly fuming. The reason? The bloody Pug from hell Trevor.

Actually, I really cannot blame the car. The only peeps I can blame really is the dealer, who.. fair play to him was getting faults fixed... granted that should have been done BEFORE he sold the car but hey ho.

And then we have the garage he sent it to - for the checking of the timing belt. they need a shotgun round the swede it seems.

The car went in for three things. One of which was the brakes. The fact they sold me a car with discs and pads that should have been changed. Then the whining noise from the belt, which after advice from 2 mechanics and the AA warranty people wanted the bloody thing at least checked. 

The third thing is a front suspension noise which is actually getting less frequent so not really too fussed about that as of yet.

So went back to the dealer a week and a half ago. He could only book it in to be done today (also allowed me to arrange this with boss) and dropped it off, was told to return at 16:00 so grabbed a bus ticket for the day and sodded off into town.

Spend the day faffing about doing shite then had a good mate drop me back there at 4pm to the delight of no dealer, no car and a mechanic who for all he could do was useless.

He stated that he had done the brakes on my car so that wasn't too bad, then the dealer had taken it to the other garage to get the belt checked, they in turn took it in, took it to bits then at 4pm went home.

Bless them. So now because they have no spare car they can lend me I am driven home by their "boy",

have no ability to go to work tomorrow, you can imagine how chuffed that made the boss. And can do nothing now until tomorrow when they come to pick me up to get it again.

Fucking useless I tell you !

The whole world has turned into a scam I tell you....

Selling a car on any site seems to be the funniest thing ever these days.

For obvious reasons I used one one my many 'other' email address's so as to not really care about how much crap came through after the event as such.

But the ultimate classics so far have been:

I am very interested in your car but can only pay using PayPal - SCAM

I want to buy your car now for more than you are selling it for using Western Union - SCAM

however the best one was someone asking questions that had been answered in the listing, then saying why were there two versions then a link to "said" page which was an unofficial login page for ebay for some kind little shit trying to get my log in details. 

Dont even get me started on trying to sell a sodding mobile phone. Three times it has sold and then been cancelled due to the winning bidder having been "hacked"

I am sick to death of it I tell you.

The world has just gone conman mad !!! Bastards!

On the plus side, thank to all for your grand birthday wishes & cards - some very funny :)

I had a wonderful day turning 36.... Cup of tea in bed, LL took me out for breakfast then we dropped off Db @ Mumsies and went fishing! It was great, not at all cold, new float suit and hot boots worked a treat.

Only down side - didn't catch bugger all *sigh*

Oh well

Well it turns out..... I'm a bit of a daft cunt me.

But the worst part of it, I really should have known better! Well certainly if my age has anything to do with it!

So in keeping up with what I have already written, The Pug is for want of a better word - shite. Neither myself or the LL one like it, and we have since traded in his car and I now have a scooby impreza... oh dear god lmao!

Talk about fooking petrol head! However this is an estate so not really quite as boy racer as some have expected. Mum included :)

So The dastardly Trevor mobile is now up for sale on a generic auction site :) and once that's gone we can then find LL something too... he does actually really like the scooby as well so I can see him getting himself a turbo version...

But I really would like to share with you my day today which was... somewhat odd. I booked the day off

to take the scooby in to have the rear windows tinted so to save the daft black labrador cooking in the back... decided on the "limo" black version which does make it look very thug like lol

so I took the car in knowing it was going to take approx all day to do... what the hell was I going to get up to? So bought a dat trip bus ticket and spent the first 2 hours pottering about town just with arse in a bus watching the world go by. After this and trainers having fallen to bits and needing to go and find some replacements decided to actually go in and do some shopping. 10 mins later I have shoes and was wearing them. Hmmm feeling peckish so popped into a cafe for a fry up... thinking that should be a good hour... nope all done in 20 mins. *sigh*

Hmmmm got on another bus and went the whole route out of town then back in again.

Still utterly bored went past the crop shop hairdressers and had a wash cut blow dry and straighten for a £10... yep only 20 mins there too. Then popped into waterstones, got a book and a hot choccy to go and got back onto a bus where the car was, sat arse down in the reception area and read quietly in the corner.

Dear god! When did I lose all ability to keep myself busy and not bored or frustrated with anyone and everyone in the world? Even the poor hairdresser got the sharp end of me and she was complimenting me at the time for how much of an ideal customer I was.. going in, asking for a trim and thats it...

I was then going to say maybe I am just turning into one of the grumpy old women from said TV programme of the same name but I know that isn't true so why lie? I AM A GRUMPY OLD CUNT!!! have no ability to buy a proper car first time round and have the social skills of a sloth on sedatives.

But you know what? Thats just the way I like it and I'm not changing for no bugger!
