I'm gonna have a bit of a rant this morning....I just had the best and worse weekend for ages..
I had an excellent weekend with my brother and his family...We all got on really well....I took them home last night....Its a 200 mile round trip...but well and truly worth it...
So i'm about half way home last night and the car breaks down on the moterway...I'm 50 miles away from home..Know nothing about engines...Have no breakdown cover..About ?20 in my pocket..Pitch black..Midnight....Sunday night..
In the end the Police had to move my car off the hard shoulder for saftey reasons ?130 to take it 4 miles off the moterway and into the next town....They impounded my car...And are charging me ?12 a day untill i can move it......Apparently the head gasket has blown...(whatever that is) I know its gonna cost about ?300 to fix though...All this weeks before christmas...When we are supposed to be buying presents.
Anyway the recovery guy kindly dropped me off at a CLOSED train station....And left me there for the night....Luckily i managed to get my brother in law to pick me up from the station in the early hours....I got into bed about 3am this morning freezing..
It could of been worse...we could have broke down on the way there with the children in the car....That would have been a million times worse...
Its just everytime i think i'm getting somewhere latley something comes along to knock me right back down on my arse again..
Sorry for ranting...Its a good job there was no alcahol around last night when i got home....I would have definatly gone to town on it...
Speak later.....Macks
