I Am Free February 12, 2007

Posted by Jen in : Writing Bits , trackback

My windscreen-wipers are cured! Hurrah and hurray! And I am cured, for free. I quote:

Feeble Me: ‘Oh, is my poor car really working properly again?’

Grunting Mechanic: ‘Ugh, yeah.’

Effusive Me: ‘Oh, you are such a star - I thought I would have to stay in until summer.’

Grunting Mechanic: ‘Ugh.’ (Smiled a bit at this point. Could have been wind though.)

Penniless Me: ‘Oh, in all the stress, I forgot my purse. Could you possibly add it on to its next service?’

Weak Mechanic: ‘Ugh. Don’t worry. Few quid. Drink in pub. Ugh.’

Result. Joy. Freedom. I am free. Free to… um… yeah. Whatever.

Yes… erm… good! Glad to see that we’re on the same wavelength.

I suspect our wavelength to be a very, very wiggly one indeed?

Wiggly is the new straight, yip yip yip

Scary when cars don\’t do what they\’re supposed to, isn\’t it? I keep thinking I really must stop being such a girl about things and go and do a car maintenance course or something. I don\’t like being at the mercy of men in overalls! Unless you do your best eyelash fluttering, of course. :)

LQS - you will be unimpressed to hear that, until last year, I didn\’t even know how to put petrol in my car!!! How pathetic is that?

I think I\’m happy forgoing the cupboard-full of car fuses and will stick with my eyelash curlers as an indirect means of getting Car Matters attended to!

Shameless hussy?  Me??  Yeah, you\’re probably right ;)
