Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 13 - Pizza and Wine Baby!

After all my talk about the joys of healthy eating and exercise yesterday - today I eat pizza, drink wine and have chocolate! Oh yum! YUM! Great TGIF present to me.

Even better my guy is coming home today so I get to see him! Yay!!

SAD NEWS - I got the call today that my car is being written off. It came days earlier than I'd expected, and frankly left me feeling quite upset. Yes, I cried. It may seem silly to cry about a car but it represents so much of my life. 15 years of going everywhere in it - lots happened in it from having to move in a hurry in 1997 (on the day I got it actually!) when the couple I was living with's marriage collapsed in spectacular style to driving up and down to my mum and dad's a few times to going on dates with my lovely guy. It is a repository of memories and that's why its loss upsets me so much.

I have little recourse to it being written off as under a new NSW law passed in August last year, any car under 15 years is deemed to be a statutory write-off and can only be put back on the road with the RTA's say so, and only after applying in writing to them. My car is 14 3/4 so if the theft had happened in three months I would have been fine! I could have negotiated if my car was older but given its age my options are limited to none. It's this loss of control that angers me most - all the hassle, expense and so on, and I have no way to influence it at all.

It's left a stew of emotions and frankly if I could get those thieves why Id... well this cat sums it up nicely...

Thanks to Rose at work for this gem.
