Frustration!
There are things going on at work which are making me feel like banging my head against the nearest wall. I have got a week's annual leave left which I need to take before the end of March, I think I will be taking that sooner rather than later.
I have been searching online for a car and on Wednesday found one that I liked, could afford and wasn't too heavy on the insurance. I left work a bit earlier than normal and an hour's bus ride and a 2 mile walk later I arrived at the car dealer. It was by now, much too dark to have a proper look at the cars.
I couldn't find anyone to speak to so decided to call it a night and head home. Another 2 mile walk and I was home. The website of the dealer gave the option of booking a test drive so I did this for Saturday (yesterday) morning.
Friday afternoon, the dealer sold the car.
I was not impressed.
I can understand why they did it. I was 'interested' in the car, I may not buy it, I may not even turn up as arranged, so they were not going to turn down someone who was there offering them money.
But I still wasn't happy.
So I have another month to find and buy a car as my rip off bus pass auto-renewed yesterday. I have to pay £85 per month and allow 90 minutes+ each way every day to do what is essentially a 15 minute car journey, so that is why I want a car.
I have also indulged in a little online sale shopping this week and I am looking forward to it arriving. If it does. I ordered some items from Florence + Fred online not long after Christmas, I opted to have them delivered to the nearby Tesco so that I could collect them, unfortunately the courier company could not find Tesco and so they were returned to the depot. This delivery is to a private address but if they can't find Tesco....
Today I collected my new glasses, they are fab, but I just wished they weren't so expensive.
I wonder what this week has in store for me.
