OT- Having a bad day

Lola88, 23 January, 2010 at 10:49 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hi all, apologies for this post, just having a very bad day!

Basically car broke down on Thursday (engine pretty much blew up on motorway), and it is currently dumped on my parents drive. No garages come out (but can recover for about £60) apart from the one who is currently not answering his phone. Its going to be bloody expensive to fix I'm sure, and I don't get paid till Monday - tho OH did say he might be able to pay for it.

Feeling very fragile still- I spent an hour perched on a patch of stinging nettles awaiting recovery and with already bad knees, I feel like I actually did 10 rounds with an elephant. Also I tend to meltdown whenever anything bad happens with cars, due to some pretty nasty accidents (not me driving)- and OH has had to go to work this morning.

Just having a rubbish morning really, and just needed to let it out.

Light at the end of the tunnel is the wedding fayre I'm heading to tomorrow, which my best mate (and joint CBM with my sister) is going to drive us to because she is wonderful!

Apologies for the mini essay here, just alone and a bit sad ☹️

    Aw, I'm sorry you're not having the best of days.
    Hopefully you have enough fun at the Wedding Fayre tomorrow to make up for it! ?

    Thanks for the sympathy... i'll feel better once OH has finished work!

    I did manage to speak to one garage who said (despite not having seen the car and the recovering guy saying it was likely head gasket or pipe blockage) I'd prob need a new engine which will cost around £3000! ?

    Really looking forward to the fayre, the last one I was supposed to go to was canclled because of the snow... xxx

    Hi Lola

    Sorry to hear you're having a crap day. Regarding the car, are you with the AA? I only ask because on my AA policy I actually have a £500 thing on it which means they will pay £500 towards the bill.

    Other than that...I can't help only to give you a hug ?

    No I'm not with AA- Direct Line, I might check if there's something in there.

    Thank you for the virtual hugs everyone... OH gave me some great hugs when he finished work and now I'm munching chinese food which is making me feel better!
