Default Christmas Miracle Needed

I just wanted to have a little rant. Why do inconvenient things happen all at once right before christmas??

Last night I got home from work and noticed hubby's car had 3 flat tyres. It was parked in the garage so highly unlikely to be arson.

We agreed he would drop me at work today so he could sort out his car. However my car has other ideas. It was plugged in to the block heater overnight but this morning it's completely dead.

Now I know this isn't the end of the world but I just needed to rant!

We've tried jump starting my car - no success.

Any suggestions?

Get a bus?

I just spent many $$'s on the OH Mazda getting front ball joints and lower suspension arms changed, noticed while we were having front tires changed.

Remember things happen in 3's so u not outa the woods just yet !!

I wish that was an option! I live 30 mins walk from the bus stop and they come hourly. Think it might be taxis for me. The 3rd... Gosh I dread to think!

It was quite unlikely to be arson unless it was on fire...

Are you sure? Maybe they only let the air out the tyres so you wouldn't notice.

Arson is the intentional setting of a fire so unless the car was set on fire no, it definitely wasn't arson.

Or, in this case, flat tires as a result of action (but unlikely) from the male offspring.

Who is Arson, and could he have keys for the garage ?

I hear arson is unemployed as he got fired from his last job, he was stealing petty cash and apparently got caught red handed. He also gets angry a lot as he is a bit hot under the collar

I heard Arson was stealing dust caps and used air, and recycling it all at the local Zepellin store. You was lucky he got scared before he got to the fourth tire.
