Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I have a new sick note waiting at my doctor's surgery and I was going to drive over (it's not far) to pick it up. Figured I'd be ok for a short journey. Strolled happily out to the car, feeling pretty good, attempted to use the remote locking and...nothing happened. Then I recall that the car's been sat outside for the best part of 2 months with no-one driving it and guess the battery's flatter than a pancake. One swift manual opening of car door later, I put the key in the ignition, turn it and yep, absolutely nothing happens.

So I'm waiting for the AA to arrive *cuddles her AA membership* Adding Home Start to my AA package all those years ago was so smart :)

I'll keep you advised how the subsequent driving goes, assuming we get the heap going :)

AA got the car going and advised me to take it for a decent drive because the battery was so low. So I drove it around for 40 minutes and then headed to the surgery. Collected my new sick note (another two weeks off, hurrah!) and nervously went back to the car. It started! First time! Yay!

I still wouldn't fancy doing a long motorway journey just yet, even doing just that was really tiring, so best I avoid mega trips. But at least now I know I'm ok to get myself to the supermarket and back *happy* That does help :)

Acid test for the car will be to see if it starts first time tomorrow *grins*

And now for food, for I am a ravenous mousey!
