12 and a half hours to go
« on: 21 January 2010, 18:31:25 »
Before the MOT. My nails can't take any more.


And before someone tries to be clever, I've removed the dingly dangly thing from the mirror that the Kosovans have put in.

After the past 2 yrs, I trying a different tact this time.

Turned up on the day I'd booked it in for.  Just put the wrong date in my calendar last year when it passed  :-[

I'd like to blame it on the level of anger I had last year, but I'd have to admit sheer incompitence.  Now you know why I leave my social diaries up to Mrs TheBoy  :-[

deliberately tested mine early as the previous year i was changing donut bushes in snow. Certainly didnt want to let it slip nearer December. I guess J has the opposite problem.
