    My week is not starting too well.

    Started yesterday with a call from eldest son, a bit miserable, fed up, tired, 12 hour shift - plus the 5 hour time difference does not help.

    My car battery is not holding a charge, flat again this afternoon, must be a short somewhere, completely flat again this afternoon despite being a new battery So OH tried to recharge it and it just won't charge - turns out the new battery charger is a dudd. OH goes to Halfords gets another charger and gets the battery fully charged.
    my car is booked into the garage tomorrow to see what the problem is so we took it to the garage tonight, Oh following in his. It is pitch black,wet and blustery out, the garage is only 10 mins away but now I seem to have lost power steering so its like driving a brick.
    Anyway the garage will sort it out tomorrow but I am always having electric problems with my cars.

    Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since I lost my Dad. Today it is 10 years to the day since we lost my mum - it was Monday of half term and she died suddenly in her sleep, Dad found her in the morning.

    AnywAy I am going to do the Christmas shoe boxes so that will keep me occupied and cheerful and hopefully snakes will still be working in the afternoon, fingers crossed


    Sending lots and lots of love, hopefully it is some comfort that your parents are together now. :A:A:A:A:A

    I thought this was so cute. If it's too big tell me and I'll delete. Hope you're all well.
