The saga continues....

Well I will start at the beginning, 2 weeks ago my car was clamped as I had forgotten to pay my car tax. My fault I know. Paid the £260 release and went on Monday to get the tax disc. I did not have all the documents. Before I could get back there the car was clamped again! I then could not use my credit card as they had stopped it due to suspected fraudulent activity. £0.00 had shown up on a statement from an unknown company.

I was kept on the phone to India for about 30 mins trying to answer questions like 'what store did you use your credit card in October? (OCTOBER???!). After hanging up I found out the source of the huge sum so I then had to phone back the company for a repeat of the 20 impossible questions. Card was unlocked. Paid off 2nd clamp.

Went to DVLA but forgot proof of insurance still no tax disc! Spent last weekend hiding car in case it was clamped again. Paid £200 to get disc on Monday.

On Tuesday I was involved in a car crash, I was unhurt but car had to be towed away.

Part of insurance was a replacement car, but I can't find my driving licence so no replacement car. Ordered a new licence.

Cycled to shop to get some groceries came out and the lock refused to open. AARGH!

Now my phone keeps going asking for a man who I don't know. I keep thinking its the garage trying to get in contact

I feel like I'm in a horrible comedy film or maybe I could make some money by writing a book of all my woes and trials. Whoever it is that is making my life hard PLEASE STOP I surrender.

Oh no Trachet, it does sound like a bloody comedy of the worse kind, bless you....all of this has got to make you stronger and it's amazing what you can deal wit isn't it, if someone would have told you this was going to happen you would have said "no way' and I bet you would think you couldn't cope with all that, I know it's hard but your getting there....it's amazing what we can cope with in the end.

Thinking of you, hope the worse is out the way and some nice stuff happens to you

Now for the better news it looks like I can get a car after all (fingers crossed) I just have to get myself from Southsea to Fareham and hope they have a replacement car available, obviously I will phone before I leave. But fingers, toes and hair crossed!

Trachet, please step away from your car and bike immediately. Use shanks mare, and you will be safe. Seriously I go through times like this, but the only way is to laugh about the absurdity of life, othewise we would go crazy. Take care of yourself.

Hi Hannah,

I am rather tired! Just hope I will be able to sleep. A post on my Facebook page today was great - 'If only losing weight was as easy as losing my mobile phone, keys, driving licence, my temper and my mind I'd be SO skinny'! I would be a size 0 after the last 2 weeks! Just hope all the walking and cycling I've done has made me lose weight and get my GP off my case.

Hope you have a lovely weekend

Traceyx

Today is lovely and sunny I hope it is we're you are. More importantly I hope it's a good day for you...

Its lovely here down south! I'm about to go for a walk along the sea front. I went back to bed at 12 and slept for 3 hours! I feel I can cope with the paperwork now. Housework can wait!

Hope you enjoy today as well. x
