Baggy's inner grrrrrrr! was in use today.

Baggy had to get up at silly o'clock to get her car MOT'd. Why oh why does the DVLA not remind people about MOT's? In spite of Baggy's car being in the garage TWICE last week and Baggy asking whether it was due for an MOT nobody spotted that it was overdue. Clever Bird had a bit of a sense of humour failure about it. The garage sold her the car second hand, so Baggy had no idea when the MOT was due. They however knew exactly! But Baggy was basically driving illegally, with no idea whatsoever, and when Freda Fretter found out, she went into a bit of a mini-meltdown. But with her new "take control" attitude, Baggy told the garage that they could fit her in today (not on Friday which is what they offered), as she wasn't happy with them! Inner grrrrr, did a good grrrrr! It did another one when Baggy asked them to replace the clips that hold her floor mats down, that they vacuumed up last Friday when valeting the car! They said that they couldn't because they came with the mats. Hormonal Hannah said that she'd had enough of Fiat at the moment and as they'd vacuumed them off, the least they could do was to replace them. Grrrrrr! They did!

On a roll, Baggy decided to tackle her list of twelve urgent things that needed sorting (mainly to do with Baggy's Dad's house). Two-and-a-half hours of phone calls later, she had almost succeeded when Clever Bird realised that Baggy had to take Hormonal Hannah to the last Stress Management course in thirty minutes - just as at the same moment, she noticed that Amazon had spotted fraudulent activity on her account. Panic. Grrrrrrrr aimed into the ether as Clever Bird tried to sort it out.

Baggy was so pleased that it was the last day of the course. It is so tiring for some reason. But when she got home, Baggy found Gloria Gardener wanting to cut the lawn; mainly because next door are having a BBQ party this evening and Freda Fretter was embarrassed by the state of Baggy's lawn. Baggy was invited to the BBQ but once home from the Stress course she popped round to say that she wouldn't make it after all. Strangers and fattening food were too much of a challenge today. But Baggy is doing really well. She cannot believe how much she has achieved today - all things that a couple of weeks ago were totally overwhelming her. It's helping a great deal that Baggy will be getting her camper van very soon. It's given her a real boost..........
