Feeling bright

Definitely not feeling very bright today. Woke up with an incredible migraine this morning, usually I drug up and sleep it off, but having just slept 10+ hours that was definitely not going to happen. It did go away eventually, but I had actually planned to do something with the morning. It was probably a stress release migraine, what with the car saga of the last few days. Took the car for it's MOT on Thursday, knowing it probably needed break pads, however, I received a phone call saying it had failed its MOT (spectacularly) and was going to cost £550 to pass it, upset was not even the word! After going back to the garage, virtually crying at the mechanic, they had assured me it would not cost that much and that they'd keep costs down as much as possible. So yesterday I picked up the car, with new break pads, pipes, callipers, bonnet release handle, adjusted hand break, new oil and filter, it was still just under £400, but a (slight) improvement on the original figure. Still, really not what I wanted just before Christmas :-( Anyway, cheap bright flowers were in order to cheer myself up a bit. Also, notice advent calendar ready to go for tomorrow :-D
