loopys not dead....No, she is alive...almost

Well after the garage ringing me up and saying Loopy was a write off this morning, after lunch they rang back up and said the insurance company had changed their minds....wow!!!! yeah I get to have her back repaired....so she is worth more than the damage.....:) I could go and kiss the people who changed their minds...hmmm maybe not but if they ever read this...probably not THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!! So tomorrow I get a curtosy car and so can drive around again....yeah! Hmmmm yeah so apart from having a tough time at my placement things are looking up....maybe the 4 way meeting next Tues will clear that up and my life will be much beter, although its ok now.

Emotions are funny things! Sorry to all those i have seemed moody to i think a combination of everything made me that way, but I know i could have made a better effort not to have been.

It just ain't funny

At the moment life seems overwhelming and the slightest thing seems to make me really angry or causes me to burst into tears. This last 3 or 4 months have been really hard to deal with as I struggle to look at my values, beliefs and start for some reason analsysing (if thats the right word) myself.

This thing with my car has made me realise that i do place far to much value on something that is tempory..... and this was proved when i burst into tears on finding out it had been trashed and then again just know when i found out how much the damage came to .... over £1000s! The thing is I have been warned by my parents that they will probably write it off since my car is worth just over £1000.....I can't believe it 2 minutes (max) of distruction it caused a bill that big, with an estimated repair time of 1 week....crazy!!!!

She needs .... a new stearing wheel and stearing column, new door, new window, re painted, new locks (and the locks need to be all recoded), then theres the interior light to fix too......poor Loopy, the 'D-day' is tomorrow, at sometime tomorrow I will get a call from the insurance people telling me if they will repair the car (and i will get a curtosy car) or write it off (I am carless, never to see or drive Loopy again and will have to car shop grrrrr - which i hate doing at the best of times!) I'm praying she will be repaired, I dont want another car or the hassle of finding one!

A tribute to Loopy

I have had several cups of tea to help me compose myself before pouring out my anger to the whole world...or those of you who read this....

I am really careful anyways about my car, becuase I value it a lot and whatever happens its my baby....Loopy (my car) is my dream car - a Corse (although my dream dream car would be a purple P reg Toyota Corolla). Anyway yesterday I had a gut feeling so left nothing of value in my car and was careful that everything was out of sight (ask Jayne and Piet) how almost paranoyed i was. Anyway once home I thought everything would be fine....

......I woke up this morning, looked out the window and saw my car door had been bent in half....(quite impressive actually) but how annoying i was so cross, ran to my car and saw the window had been broken, my car had been scratched, the interior light taken out, the casing around the steering column missing and wires and fuses pulled out of the steering column....someone had tried to steal my car, but not managed.....however they left my CD player in the car (which i then took out) and left all other things in it...strange.

So I am fuming, i know some of the young people who do this and ive asked not to tell me what they do and last time i had my wheels slashed they offered to get me some 'new ones' which i politely refused, they also told me that if anything else happened in the future then I should tell them and they would 'sort it out' .... its so tempting to do that since the police (who have been out to see the car) wont catch the offenders....but im guessing i shouldnt tell them or encourage them in this area.....so tempting though!

So the insurence company and the garage are in talks and they are saying that it maybe a write off...nooooooo i love Loopy, i dont want another car!!!!!!!!!! I want her!

Oh and my boiler aint working, so no gas to cook with (eating donuts), no heating (there are icicles hanging from my eye lashed...ok maybe thats exagerating a bit) and no hot water to shower with (yup i have to smell till a mate gets back from work to pick me up and let me use their shower). All in all its been a rubbish and wasted day, I had planned to do so much work but really dont feel like doing any just curling up, with hot water bottle and reading a book or something....oh well.

Old friends and a night out


I just realised how long it has been since I was back in my 'home' town - I grew up there but haven't lived there for 4 years now so don't really consider it home anymore - although my parents are here and their house is still a home for me.....one of many :) so came home and went out with friends some of whom I haven't seen since last year - to the exact date (I went back for a mates birthday)....It was a great evening and it was as if I had never been away, but I realised that I need to make more of an effort to keep in touch!! Oh and Jon Holder sang for us (Karioki - or however its spelt!)
(Some of the girls)


This is Jon!












Helen and me with the man we share and call our own......hes been with us for 6 years now....scary, but we love him just the same....hahahaha you only have custody till my birthday in Feb though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year



New year was really good, a totally different experience from last year where I was ill, went out, but was home by 10.30 and lay on the sofa half asleep felling ill and sorry for myself....anyways this year went to Cardiff with Marc and John. Went ice skating with John, who did a stunning 720 degree bum spin (Marc not liking the danger watched), then went on a few rides and joined the crowds to bring the new year in and see the fireworks....it was dry until about 0.15 then it absolutely chucked it down......Wales....typical....always rains. (Below John and I on a ride...Marc got his head cut off - not literally though) . Oh there he is.....(Marc)
