Car Accident

First off i want to say sorry to you all for not updating recently but unfortunately there has been a lot going on over the past week.  Tuesday evening I hit a patch of black ice while I was driving my car, the car hit the curb and during that process i managed to damage my shoulder. Then last night things got even worse. Evie and I had gone to see one of our mates. We left his house and were heading home. The A38 was closed so we had gone along the back roads. We were coming up to what was quite a nasty corner, going in to the corner Evie lost control of the car. The car spun, hit a wall and a tree, then spun again in to the middle of the road.  We could both smell burning so my main priority was to get us both out the car we both got out of the car and away from it before falling to the floor and getting really upset. It was obvious that her car was going to be a write off (not sure if i spelt that right). Half of the engine was in the tree and the other half was st...

Driving Mayhem

So you might have noticed that there is a new blinkie on my page, at the top in the left hand column. I can't wait to tell you guys more about it but you're all going to have to wait a little bit longer for that bit of information sorry guys! I'll give you a hint though it is to do with scrapbooking and computer software!  This morning I had my driving lesson, I've had 5 lessons with this new teacher and he has helped me to come on in leaps and bounds, it is just over a month until I'm going to be doing my driving test and from now on we are going to be working on test roots that the driving test people use. I've done all of the movements that you need to do, and feel really prepared for my exam, I've been able to practice in my car but only in small amounts as it's got to go up to my local garage tomorrow. I haven't really done much for the rest of today as I've not been feeling well but I think this is to do with the thunderstorm atmos...

A short note.

Well the dentist went better than I thought it was going to be, my dentist is great and is really looking after me, after the problems that I have had with his new employee. He's agreed that we will do it slowly a little bit at a time over a few weeks because the other dentist has left it far too long. I also found out that I was right and I have got two wisdom teeth that are through/coming through. This afternoon my mum took me to my favourite pub because I've had more bad news todo with my car but I will post about that tomorrow. I love this particular pub because it also sells teddy bears and I've got a bear from most of the times I've been there. Today my mum got me a fluffy dog called 'Boo'.

Early wake up call

Today was a long day my mum and I were up and out of the house  by 7am we arrived in Stoke qt just before 8 and the mechanic said that he was surprised how early we were but He was the one to tell my dad that we needed to be there as early as possible so we were. The first thing that he did was pop the bonnet up and try and open the water part well it bubbled over like mad none of us expected that. He told us that we were going to be there for a minimum of two to three hours so we might as well go up to the shopping part. He told us it was a quick 5 minute walk up a not to steep hill! Wrong! The hill was really steep so we did it in two parts we stopped at the bus station to sit for a but and then get a drink. Then we walked another 10 minutes to go to McDonalds were we had pancakes and sausage breakfast then we had to wait. It was cold and raining so we waited in McDonalds. Eventually we got a phone call to tell us that my car would have time stay over night because it needs a ne...

Dancing Queen

After the day I have had today the song 'Dancing Queen' by Abba seems to fit quite nicely with my day. This afternoon mums car came back, they had removed the 'third pedal/second accelerator' and they had also taken all the loose cabling stopping it from messing around with the radio which should mean that the Radio and central panel won't have any more problems with them. The car was supposed to be back for 10am so that we could do all the jobs in it at once fill it up with petrol and do the shopping, but mum got told that we wouldn't have her car back til 1pm and then it became 1:30 they might make they're mind up one day, and actually stick with it. So this meant that this morning we went to do the shopping and then later in the afternoon we went to fill the car up with petrol making what should have been one trip became two trips.  We then decided to wash both my mum and dads car so that the grit and salt that has been on the road does not effect th...

New car and mad electrics

Well as some of you will know mum wasn't happy in her old car after two accidents one that included a lorry driving into the side of my mums car with my mum, my sister, my nephew, and I in the car. So her and my dad decided it was time for a new car so mum started looking on the internet and decided that she quite liked Nissan. To start with she liked the X-trail but soon decided that she preferred the Nissan QashQai (I swear that's hard to spell). So the day after she had found one we liked we drove up to check it out and make sure she really liked it  and she did, so a week ago (just before all the snow came) my mum, brother and I drove up to fetch it and it is such a comfy car and the plus side Mum's going to be able to pull a horse trailer but we will come to that later. Mum decided that with my brother being a huge bike fan and taking his £2000 bike everywhere, as well as mum needing to take his mates and their bikes places, that she was going to get a bike rack, ...

hell yeah!

hiya everyone its me and I am back again :) two posts in one day you lucky people! Time for the bad news then on to some seriously exciting things! The bad news is that when on the way to my sisters, my mums car started making a funny noise (we wouldnt have heard it if we hadn't got the window open because I was too hot and we hadn't turned the music off because we were going past a horse! The car started self revving and me and mum jumped out when there was loads of smoke just coming up from under the bonnet, the RAC comes out and they think that the car was using too much detail and was not working properly! So now she has another car for a bit its a honda and is nice! Now my good news I WILL be seeing the Spanish school of riders (this year will also be a special year as it is the first year to include a female, in the production! Also carl hester will be featuring there and its worth going just to see him! Until I put the pics on A Girl With A Dream xx
