A new piece of furniture
Today, I added to the 800+ miles driven over the last couple of days with a trip round the M25 to the home of Sugar Hut, Faces, fake tan and all round glamour.
The irritating cry of 'shuu-uupppp' and 'ohh-maa-gawwdd' rang through my ears the moment I lay eyes on the 'Welcome to Essex' sign.
The reason for putting myself through this ordeal? To collect a new car seat.
Two years ago, in what can only be described as a VERY SLIGHT lapse in concentration, I hit a West Bromwich curb so forcefully, that I not only punctured both tyres on the passenger side of my poor car, but also exploded the passenger seat airbag. Fast-forward to now, and that moment has come back to bite me on the bum, as the airbag warning light caused me to fail my MOT, with a new seat as the only option.
On the plus side, for the next couple of hours, Mum has a nice new piece of furniture in her living room - I think it fits quite nicely!
It also came thoroughly wrapped in too much (if that's even possible) bubble wrap. And let's face it, who doesn't like to sit and waste time away, popping bubble wrap? It's like the app all over again.
Note to self - Download the Bubble Wrap app!!
Lesson of the day - Try to be more careful. Something I've done today may have costly implications in two years time!
