Girl Power

The VW has been sat on the drive on a SORN for the last few months, as there was no money to put it through the MOT, and the Road Tax and Insurance were about due too.  It was not long after that every inch of its interior was given over to the storage of stuff!   Stuff that could not manage to get indoors as indoors is full of stuff on top of stuff!

I managed eventually to locate the disconnected battery and the battery charger amongst the accumulated stuff!  Once the battery was connected and given  a brief charge, the engine did start.  However if there ever was any fuel left in the tank it was on longer there.  The boot of the fairlane yielded five litres of unleaded fuel.

Now all I need to do is find a way of making stuff disappear and then I will be able to drive it to the MOT test centre.

After 3 years on the waiting list we have at last been offered a shoebox sized flat.  It overlooks a very noisy skip sorting plant.   It is a new build and to us that means yet another year of not being able to decorate or put shelving or pictures.  The are many reasons why the property is far from ideal, but it is very close to a train station.

We had no real choice but to take it, we need to be gone from our current address by Febuary and we needed to move nearer to Ware for schooling reasons at a matter of urgancey too.

Somehow we now have to pay for rent at two addresses, buy a cooker, something to sit on, wardrobs, repair two vehicals and get moved before Christmas, but at least we will have a roof over our heads.
