Sunday Night Mash Up

Well my poor little Fiat went back to the garage last Saturday thanks to the engine leaking diesel and I still haven't had it back.  After driving the replacement Proton now for over a week I am becoming more accustomed to it, and the boot is huge!  Great for shopping.

I started the second of my courses this weekend for the June ACCA sitting, and I do not like the tutor, so much so that I am considering swapping from the weekend course to the weekday course, I just need to see if work is ok with it, and then whether there is space on the weekday course.

Today has been a lovely day weather-wise.  Sunny and windy, perfect drying weather.

I woke up just before 5am (as usual) and at 6am gave up and decided to put a wash in.  When it finished out on to the washing line it went and a second load put into the machine.

I was tidying the front room when I heard a noise outside (I had the back door and all the internal doors open to air out the house) but thought nothing of it, a short while later I went into the kitchen and looked out of the window to see all my washing on the floor.  The post holding the line had snapped.  I was not impressed.

So the washing ended up at Mum and Dad's on their washing line.

I still feel poorly today, I feel so drained all the time.  I have these tiny electric shock type feelings shooting through my head at random intervals.  Every little bit of physical exertion affects me much more than it should, I could have cried when I was making the bed, I had to have a sit down part way through as it was.  Even going up the stairs wears me out and when I first get out of bed, I walk like Bambi on ice!  I do wish that I could have a couple of days in bed without feeling guilty, but that is never going to happen!

I hope that I get my car back soon, and that I feel better soon!

Sunday Night Mash Up

Not a lot to report this week, back to work after a week off, and as always, when you go back to work after any sort of time off, you can't see you desk for work!

Yesterday I took my car back to the garage as it is leaking fuel from the engine, but not in the place that Puntos usually leak from, oh no, that would be far too easy, so I had to leave it with them.  They first lent me a Fiesta to use whilst they had my car.

It wasn't as nice to drive despite being a few years newer but for a couple of days it would be fine.  I got home to be told that it had no brake lights, so back I went.  I was then given a Proton, on the motorway it was fab, but urban handling let it down. (Hark at me, I blame too much Top Gear).  This was even newer, but I still preferred my Punto.

I've got the Proton till they sort out the problem on the Punto, so tomorrow I have to sort a temporary parking permit for work, I don't think it will be a problem.

Today I was back at Kaplan for my second tuition day of this sitting.  This is the topic (Financial Reporting) that I really struggled with at AAT so I am trying but it still sounds like gobbledygook.

Today has been the warmest day of the year so far, I think it reached almost 18 degrees here so it was obvious that I was going to be sat in an underground room all day, never mind.

Nothing planned for this week, so lets see what happens!

A sunny day in Birmingham!

I've just remembered!  I was interviewed this week for a magazine article on what it is like being single in 2014.  More about that to come soon.
