Well what a f**king day!
sneaked off early from work so I could go and get it, but had to pop home to swap insurance over and print off a cover note for tax. Anyway, got home and the laptop has had it. Wouldn't boot up, and that's both laptops in a few months now. Only my phone left for the time being! Only had an hour before tax was switched over from the pug, and needed to get it to the dockyard to declare sorn. Drove over to in-laws with printer as she doesn't have one, but had to spend ages on the phone to insurance, as the email had not come through. Finally came through and I had about half an hour to get car away. But then realised I didn't have the driver software for the printer! Tried downloading it, but computer kept f**king it off with the firewall. Seriously pissed off by now, and insurance cover had ran out.
saved the insurance cert on a memory stick, and she took me into town to truprint to see if I could get it printed. They f**ked me off as they can't do PDFs.
ran around sh!tting it for ages, until I found the sole remaining Internet cafe in the UK! Managed to get onto my email and print it off before she ran me to the train station. Train was just pulling off as I reached the platform, so had to wait almost an hour for the next one.
thought I'd phone the seller, as his old dear was gonna pick me up from the station, and take me to get the tax as I forgot to get Mot cert from him on Saturday. Then realised I had left my phone at the in-laws when tryin to sort insurance.
managed to get a taxi after bluffing my way to their address eventually. His old dear then took me to the post office, for us only to be turned away as the PO computers nationwide had gone down!
went back to their house for a couple of hours, with her kindly phoning the PO enquiries every now and again, until they told us the local PO had finally come back online. Got there, and they had died again.
just about to storm out when they came back on! Quick as a flash got the tax, and went back to get the car. Driving home was a good end to a sh!t day though, I love that car, even though I think it needs a new stat as heater was cold, and the stupid f**king tinted windows mean I can see f**k all when reversing! No pics as it was pitch black by the time I got home, hopefully weather will be a little better tomorrow so I can give it some attention.
P.s, just read that back, and I swear not one bit of that is made up! It's been a proper sh!t day!
