The Car Is In The BodyShop

The Astra is finally in a body shop attending to its injuries. I decided to get a third opinion and as I was talking to the guy I decided he was the only one that seems to know anything about repairing cars, after spending about a week trying to chase up other repairers…

So the car is in, however the quote was fairly large nearing the thousands mark. Anyway I’m pleased it is now in the shop as otherwise I’d have to wait another 10 days for work to even start with the other repairer I contacted… so at least I’m able to go home with a car this xmas.

And it is Xmas, I’ve seen the coke advert! Its officially xmas…

Ahhhh

This week hasn’t all been fun and games but its not as if most weeks are. Uni deadlines are fast approaching and one assignment I havn’t really started yet. However I am looking positive towards it and will be able to make them, I have a CCNA4 skills test coming up which I’m not too sure about so I’ll be revising for that pretty soon.

My placement search is on the hills, although new placements are popping up I have found myself without the time to apply. I have got plenty of time however as most deadlines are for January so that will be a job for the xmas hols, however as expected I did not make the second stage of the GCHQ recruiment, I’m glad I tried though, somehow I knew I wouldn’t get through.

Last weekend I was down at the NEC on sunday afternoon helping my parents take their stand down at a show. At the time time is another hall at the NEC was the MPH show, didn’t get a chance to look round but there was some pretty sweet cars zooming around the car parks.

However this week hasn’t been a good week for my car, its finally got a problem with it. I suppose I’ve been expecting it, as I havn’t had anything major happen since I got it back in Mayand well this week with the lots of speed bumps and an emergency stop because of some stupid driver on the road. My front bumper decided it couldn’t hold on any longer and fell off, thankfully it fell over just as I was parking up at uni, so there wasn’t any drama on the side of the road.

Should be getting it fixed before the xmas hols so at the minute its hidden away, which is great I’m not spending money on petrol anymore! shame its now come down is price and is still falling, hope it stays that way.

Anyway until next time.
Look out for my review of my new D-Link DIR-655 router
