A very car orientated week! |
Here's my week in review! (Not that you're interested...)
Firstly, I started doing #100HappyDays this week. If you've not heard of it, it's basically a social media declaration of what makes you happy every day for 100 consecutive days.
(For the more cynical of you, it's relentless social media bragging about how amazing your life is...)
If you're interested, head over to my Instagram page to see what's been making me happy!
We also said goodbye to Colin the Corsa this week! He was my first car, so it was oddly emotional and I couldn't quite understand how I could get so sentimental over what's basically a big chunk of metal. I've seen him for sale on Autotrader though, so at least he's going to a new home instead of being stripped for parts. We also said 'Hi!' to Pedro! (Yeah, that's genuinely his name.) Why are all the cars in my life 'male'?!
I went up to Leicester to get my phone fixed after months of it acting up and falling to pieces. Thankfully it's as good as new now! And the best thing is, Apple fixed it for free! While I was waiting, I nipped into Accessorize to get some sale jewellery (which I'll be writing about soon!) and I treated myself to another MAC lipstick from Debenhams.
And, it snowed, AGAIN, but thankfully it didn't cause nearly as much trouble as last time.
I also discovered that my car's windscreen is broken; there's a growing crack in it, so that's less money to go towards my MAC Lipstick fund... Because windscreens are quite expensive! Clive the Corsa has cost a ridiculous amount of money to fix recently, so I've been looking at new cars this week. Weighing up the cost of a new car vs. the cost of constantly fixing Clive is tricky. I don't know if I can say goodbye to two cars in such a short space of time either!
If you didn't fall asleep while reading the above, well done!

What are you reading, you might ask?
Today's post is in a different vain to usual. It's a dedication to a car. Yes, I've clearly lost the plot. (The men in white coats are hammering at the door and I'm sure I'll be sectioned in due course.)
Colin the Corsa was my first car. I bought him six years ago when I was 17. Back in 2010, I stumbled across Clive the Corsa, and my Dad needed a new car, so he bought Colin off me.
But now Colin is trundling towards death's door and it's nearly time to say goodbye.
(To the more mechanically-minded of you, his headgasket's gone.)
Your first car is always special. It's one that you always remember. The memories that you have with that car remind you of the journey you've had from a clearly inexperienced driver, to passing your test and beyond. If you're yet to learn to drive and get your first car, choose wisely. It's one you'll never forget.
The word 'Corsa' is Italian, apparently. That's what my old English teacher taught me and he should know because he married one. (An Italian, not a car.) So don't say you never learn anything from this blog.
R.I.P. Colin the Corsa.

I think I'm going to go for a lie down and then reassess my life.
