Day 199 (14/07/2010)

Well its Orange Wednesday and we plan to see Get Him To The Greek with Russell Brand. The kids both said it was great so hopefully us oldies will enjoy it.

Have to take the wife's car to the garage today. I hope they fix it all properly and don't tel me something else is broken. I might have to be a bit strict with them.

Still no biscuits, crisps or cake yet, though only a few days and I will have to eat cake, just to be polite.

Update - 13:15 - Heard from the garage, they clearly think I have mug written on my head. They are saying that the filter is blocked on the fan that's why it is not blowing out much air.

I pointed out that it was working when I dropped it off and it was not working when I picked up so it seems unlikely that the filter clogged up whilst the car was parked up and being worked on by their mechanics.

Think I might have to take it elsewhere and pass on the bill to Renault who I will then take pleasure in annoying. I wonder if the domain wellingtonrenaultrshit.com is still available.

Update - 13:45 - I have decided its a conspiracy against me. A friend has just popped round with a sponge cake she has just made.


The house is now more full of cake than ever. My will power is holding but only just.

Update - 14:05 - Garage are convinced the filter is blocked and offered to do it all for free if I paid £15 for the part. I refused and said I would have the car examined and then advertise the faults that were found with their workmanship.

I know I should have just paid but I am convinced they have done something to the car. Now I must find a mechanic who I can trust to find out what they have missed.

Its just petty but that's me. It could be the withdrawl symptoms from the lack of biscuits.

Update - 14:20 - Started a Facebook Group called Wellington Motors Renault are CRAP now I just need thousands of supports and a press campaign and I wont have to pay that £15.

Update - 21:00 - Well Get Him To The Greek was funny but very rude, I am shocked that someone let my kids see it.

I have to finish a report about a lady who started her own cake making business. Its like Cake pornography.

Its a conspiracy to test my will power.
