Storm in a teacup!



Things don't half seem to pile up at once. Things are tight with me being ill for so long. But luckily we don't need much to keep me and Andy happy. They re does seems to be a lot of family challengers going on as well. One of my daughters seems to be taking things bad, but really she's just going through normal stuff with a young family. she needs to take a deep breath and look at all the good stuff, they both do. My Sister is very up set. Her daughter has lost her business. All this and so much more.
One thing though we paid off the car this month it's now ours! It's just had a service last month a MOT and a new and expensive clutch. At least we don't have to worry about that for a while, we might keep it for another year, save the money from the monthly payments for other stuff. Great! Fantastic! Breath a sigh of relief!
WRONG! the bloody thing cut out on Andy last Thursday. It just stopped, Andy called out the recovery people who spent 3/4 hour on it, to be told I think its the fuel pump? The ******* car is in the car park waiting to be picked up by the local garage. God know how much this is going to cost. We had one estimate quote; " If its the fuel pump ssss its going to cost you. sssss the pumps around £500 and the if the cylinders need doing, sssssss well that a couple of hundred each then there's labour. sssss its going to cost ya!". Some how we didn't trust him I don't know why!
So it any one guess how much!
As the saying goes at least we got our health.
It will all turn out well I'm sure, it usually does. After all in the sceem of things, its just a little storm in a teacup.
