then of course it's the other !!!!
Can you believe it FINALLY after only 3 weeks I have me car back !!! Whoop Whoop .... I can not explain to you just how IMPORTANT having a car is here ... have I ranted about that before ??? Think I might have ??? Well got 'Betsy' back yesterday and she was 'purring' like a kitten ... OK maybe an old feline !!! LOL
This morning she started fine (phew) but as we were driving to school ... with the stop start of the school run she was sounding a bit 'ruff' and then !!!! there was the clunk-click and it was not the seat belt and suddenly she was sounding like the bag of hammers that she had before were back !!! O.F %&&^% ... not again .........
I can't cope with this !!!! Got to school on time and in Kelsey hobbled (more on that down the page) and we had a Mums Committee meeting first thing so thought I'd stay for that and then face the mechanics from hell about my car AGAIN !!!!
Half way through the meeting my phone rings ... it's the garage ... "they have found a bit on the floor and they think it might belong to my car " W.T.F honestly ...... this would only happen to me !!! and I promise you that was their exact wording !!!! I just laughed (all be it a bit hysterically) sooo straight after the meeting it was back to the garage ... but that had been the plan anyway due to the 'old rattle' that had returned .... apparently the part that was on the floor was the 'base plate' for under my car ???? whatever ... and they tightened up the tensioner ??? whatever ... but only 3/4 hour later I had my car back ... AND I didn't have to pay anything this time !!! (Well not yet anyway LOL)
Except my front number plate is broken so that now needs to be replaced and of course the fairies broke that !!!!
BUT onto Kelsey ... while the car was in the 'shop' we had the pleasure of numerous vehicles to use ... cos I can't be without a car !!! Get the message ???
One of the cars we had was a Mercedes Vitto ... it's a fairly large panel van type Combi (as we call them here) very nice machine ... belonged to the owner of the garage ... but it was much higher up so a little more difficult to get the leg over (Ha Ha) and get in and the back door kept sticking !!! SO Kelsey in one of his temper rages cos he couldn't get the door open !!! he steps up into the vehicle ... put the foot in the wrong place and down he falls ... grazed all the front of his left shin !!! Me being the bad mum I is ... "put some ice ... you're a strong boy" get over it !!!!
Last night at rugby practice (now I have to mention that this is club rugby, that he has been in training for for the past 5 months, not played a game with them yet cos the seasons only just starting - 1st Match Sunday 25th !!!) and he comes off the field literally in tears !!! His leg is swollen and very 'purple' OMG !!! (it didn't help it that in the scrum one of the boys had stood on his leg !!!)
SO NOW WHAT ??? He went straight in the bath as soon as we got home and I thickened the leg with Arnica (to bring out the bruise) and put Repro-gel on it too ... Please let it be OK ??? But this morning he is limping quite badly and says it's sore in the muscle every time he stands on it .... SO maybe he won't be playing rugby on Sunday either ... poor lad is absolutely GUTTED !!! and I know how he feels !!! 5 months for what ?? so he could get injured on the car ... and maybe not get to play in the 1st match !!! (it's a boy thing !!!)
Whatever next I ask myself ....
