Ever had one of those times when it all just seems that nothings going your way.

Well I've been having one of late.

1st the little laser that has served us for the past 7 years decided that it needed some money spent on it. And it looked like it was going to cost more than the car was worth. So the decision was made to replace the old girl. So it went off to the get find out what was wrong with it and we started looking for something to replace it. Now I must point out here that because the mechanic is a mate then there was no rush to get the car fixed, so we just made do with one car for a week. So after a lot of looking we finally found something that suited our needs. So we started the purchasing process. Only to find out that there isn’t that much wrong with the laser. So that comes as a bonus, get it roadworthy and sell it for more than we were going to get. (This is happening in the next week) So basically there we are with 3 cars, no big deal as one will be sold soon. So it’s working out how the hell we are going to pay for it, and then sorting out the finance. So it looked like we were going to have to make some changes for the next year or two until the new car is paid for. Then my boss calls me into the office to discuss my yearly review, and whamo a $135 a week pay rise, so there’s the new car paid for and then some. Then he tells me that finally I'm getting a van. So in the space of about 5 minutes I get a good 6g a year pay rise and a company car.

So as of tomorrow I have to wonder how the hell I'm going to fit 4 cars in my driveway, and the van is the size of 2 bloody cars, so it may as well be 5. But I guess it’s not all bad.
