WORST
EVENING
EVER
OMG
drazzi
what happen?
moi
various things!
first thing, got home and Rocky had done something to his leg of the YOOOOWWWWL if you so much as look like you're going to touch it variety
moi
mum looked after him while I took Dad and his mates in Mum's car to a restuarant in the city for one of Dad's mate's 60th birthday
get home around 7:30 (DINNER TIME YAY) to find Mum preparing to take the cat on an emergency vet trip
our local vet closes at 7, so that meant going back down to the city. took Mum's car again cos it was warmed up, lovely
got to the bottom of the hill and it started sort of clunking quietly but noticably
drazzi
:/
moi
Mum had it booked in to have it's [expensive but vital car part] replaced on Tuesday
it went clicky clunk close to where the vet was, and stopped clunking :D
UNTIL we got to the vet, where the motion of pulling off the road made it go GRIIIIIND an an oh shit kind of expensive sounding way
and it wouldn't move
while grinding
drazzi
.. meeps
moi
put it in park, and it started rolling backwards! so pulled the handbreak on and left it there in teh driveway while we took the cat into the vet
moi
oh and it was grinding louder in park than in drive, so turned it off. clearly
Rocky has thankfully not broken a leg, which was nice of him, just got bitten and infected, so he only needs antibiotics instead of a plaster cast for 6 weeks
then~ called the RAA and got a tow truck
drazzi
Yay for Rocky though
moi
got a pie from the servo across the road for dinner while waiting, dumped car at repairers for Monday morning, AND HERE I AM
drazzi
quite a stressful adventure evening for you
moi
more stressful for Mum. I'm the anti-stress
it's what I do o/

Before anyone says 'bad things come in threeeeeees' I'll remind you we were out of power for 15 hours yesterday. WE'VE SO HAD OUR THREE THINGS.
