a sad sad day!

today i had to say goodbye to my fiesta, and i'm quite surprised at how sad i was to leave it behind. now its not like i lovingly cared for, and washed it every week - to be honest i only washed it four times in the two years that i owned it.

we decided a few months ago to get rid of one car as we weren't using the two cars as much as we used to and it was probably my suggestion to get rid of the car because it will save us quite a bit each month not filling it with petrol, the monthly payments and insurance - but i was still sad to say goodbye to it. i felt like i was abandoning it up in north tyneside.

at the same time as abandoning my car i got to experience a car auction - lots of spides (and a few dodgy looking second hand car salesmen) looking at cars as they revved the engines. i think i was probably the best dressed person there and despite me feeling extremely out of place wandering through a car auction no-one else seemed to notice me - as i waslked in i was expecting everyone to turn and stare (i really didn't fit in - for three reasons 1 - i'm not a spide, 2- i'm not a dodgy second hand car sales man and 3- i was female) but strangely it didn't happen they were all too engrossed in the cars.
