Another Problem

 This time it's the car.

When we drove to the other house we noticed an awful squeaking noise.  Turns out to be the fan belt. Mikey called the local garage that we use but they could not get the car in until Saturday.  I was rather worried as Mikey had a lot of places to go to between Wednesday and Saturday.  Mikey checked online and found a spray that would help temporarily.

This morning Mikey took the car in. He had to park and sign a contract.  He was asked to pull the car up to the bay but it wouldn't start, the battery was dead.  I guess it was the best place for it to die.  The garage was very good and got everything done in about an hour!

It's sorted but I think the car won't last that much longer.  We've had it for a few years and we do drive a lot.  On the days that Mikey has cotton candy work, he can drive up to 4 hours round trip!  We need another car; we need two cars but of course no money.  Always the same!

The cats are also causing problems, they are shedding.  We brush them a lot but there is still cat hair everywhere.  Every morning when Hannah is leaving she runs away from the cats as she doesn't want hair on her clothes.  Especially Steve when she is wearing black trousers!!

The heat has started as well and I really don't know how much I can do.  The other house is 90%  finished.  I'm hoping to start the actual cleaning.  Outside will have to wait, if we can go early enough then we can start cutting the trees and pulling weeds, but after about 9am it's already too hot.

So much to do, so little time, energy and money!!!
