My Poor Car

Well yesterday I took my car along to a Scrap Yard.  It was a Green Ford Escort on an M reg so it was quite old and to be quite frank had seen its last day, and quite dangerous.  I would not have felt comfortable selling it on.

What was wrong with it, to be honest it would be quicker to tell you all what was right with it but anyway here goes:

When the lights were on a night and you wanted to indicate the high beam would come on.

The front and back windscreens would get condensation.

You couldn't open the door from the drivers side, sometimes it wouldn't even let me in!

It started to leak petrol.

So the poor car was bad.  I have been informed that it is going to be made into a nice metal square.  Sorry I have no pictures I was going to take one but I forgot.  Now here is the main bit of the news how much did the man at the scrap yard charge me? £45 yes you read that right fourty five bloody quid.

Nice was so shocked, he said "are you sure you want to do this".  To be honest with you what is a car of that age going to make.  It was quick and easy and its now gone.  Neil was saying "we should have taken out the car CD/radio" and "they are going to make so much from that car".  Well bully for them we don't have the time to be selling car radios etc do we.

Neil wants to give his car to one of his relatives or send it to a car auction.  I've told him don't have too much high expection if you send it to the auction he has an Audi A4 on a P reg.  We drove past an 03 reg A4 yesterday for £3,300 so his would be lucky to even make it past £400 at this moment in time.  Private car sales are being pushed down and people who can afford it are getting some good bargains.

I joked yesterday that it woud be really funny if he only got £50, five pounds more than mine.

More Sorting out Boxes

Well we have the container people coming out on Thursday/Friday to pack up all our things so I am going to have to go through everything again.  Pulling out any food items, candles or pine cones (Christmas Decorations).  Also making sure there is no mud on anything.

I hate going through thoses boxes, its a nightmare.  Keeping motivated is the key and pushing yourself.

Started making Lists

I think you have to get very organised, I thought I was quite organised but you have that many things to do.  Bits of paper all over the place, mobile phone going off, people wanting to see you for the last time.  All of a sudden there is not enough time in the day and there is no time for you to unwind.  I've started the lists and trying to tick off loads throughout the day, being a real trooper.

The lists help you with your own sanity and as soon as anything pops in that head of mine it is jotted down in my note book.  The important notebook.

Anyway nothing left to report, see you soon.
