Still not got my car
Back. The bonnet arrived, now
Needs air con unit.


Time is money; their
Time, my money. And I bet
They ain't hurrying.

The Cards Say...

You scored as XV: The Devil. Despite its fearsome appearance, The Devil is a card of weakness. It is one of the few cards in the Tarot deck that almost always has negative connotations when it occurs in a reading. When the Devil appears in a Tarot spread it can represent lack of achievement through negative thoughts. It suggests character flaws such as greed, bitterness and authoritarianism. All these things can ultimately destroy a person. The rest of the Tarot spread will determine whether or not the querent will overcome their problems or continue blindly on. XV: The Devil 63% I - Magician 63% 0 - The Fool 56% VIII - Strength 44% II - The High Priestess 44% XIII: Death 44% XVI: The Tower 44% XIX: The Sun 38% IV - The Emperor 38% XI: Justice 38% X - Wheel of Fortune 31% VI: The Lovers 31% III - The Empress 31% Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

Car Blah

So I got word (or rather I had to phone them to find out). The garage ordered the parts, so in other words they're fixing my car, not junking it. It "should be done next week some time", apparently.

So, when I went to extend the temporary insurance cover on my hire car (which I've had to change to another one as the washers don't work) they tell me I should have been charged for it before. So this time I have, about £120 which doubles the cost of the hire for the next couple of weeks. I am not impressed.

Then my renewal notice comes in the post. It's more than doubled to £906. I am not impressed.

I try online quotes from two other insurance companies. One seems to reject me completely; the other gives me a quote of £1766.

I am not fucking impressed.

Most of it involved sleeping
And watching Star Wars.

Fixed, not trashed. Engineer had
A look on Wednesday.

It's time again. Gits.
