Did a search on ebay for an old banger, nothing there!

Damn car’s gonna cost at least 800 – or I could get 2000 off a new one under some scrappage deal.. meh if I had that sort of money I’d be looking at a campervan already (well with the idea of buying one!)

Time to research small (affordable) cars that could be lived in, before I wreck my credit rating.

Ok I really resisted doing this one, finaly booked my car in to get looked at, serviced and mot’d and arranged recovery. I wasn’t sure why I was resisting it until now. Anyway I just went out to confirm it wasn’t starting again – it still sounds sick. Ok recovery is going to cost my #50, another #50 just to look at it and 100 for the garage’s service & mot offer – as far as I’m concerned thats 200 pounds before it’s even fixed, shit and the recovery charge is in cash which I only have little of, hmm. hope they can sort it out without it costing a bomb. otoh I really need it running before the bank realises I’m insolvent and reposesses my house! ah it’s probably not really so bad yet, but I must avoid shoe shops in the mean time, except for those shoes and boots I really need, like the shoes I saw today which almost fit me, unfortunatly Gertie was with me and forbade me from buying them.

So my reluctance was due to financial avoidance. Must get-a-job soon!

This is the earth and the moon in correct proportion.
