Car woes

So this morning my car went in for a service and MOT. Never a fun time of year.

After a couple of hours I got a call asking how attached I am to my car.

Yeah...

Looks like it needs some major welding work done and they're not sure at this point whether it's even worth doing. Could be that it'll cost more to repair it than the car is worth.

So there's a distinct possibility I will be shopping for a new car in the next few days. I knew this was coming and I've already got a bit of money set aside in my new car fund but I was really hoping to be able to save up the whole cost of the car before I needed to get one. If I do end up having to get one it's going to have to be purchased either on finance or with a loan.

Not good.

I was so happy when I paid off all my loan and credit card debt a year ago and it sucks that I'm probably going to have to go back into debt again.

I suppose the silver lining is that I'm earning a reasonable wage in my new job so any debt I do end up in should only be for a few months, a year tops.

Still, stressful and anxiety inducing. My little KA is my first car and he's served me well. Replacing him is going to be a sad affair not to mention I have zero clues about how purchasing/trading in works. Don't even know if I CAN trade in a car that's failed its MOT or if I have to scrap it (something else I know zero about)

ARGH! Hoping my friends hubby will come car shopping with me if it comes to that. He loves cars and will hopefully be able to help me find something suitable and affordable.

Napoleon Solo's Apron Fest

This is an idea that's been stewing in my mind for a few days now so I've decided to unleash it onto the world (insert evil laughter here)

So, a few days ago I was ruing the fact that I'd created an AO3 tag specifically for Napoleon Solo's Apron and that no one else was using it.

The solution? Create a fic fest dedicated to this wonderful article of clothing and invite people to participate!

So, I invite you to participate in the Napoleon Solo's Apron Fest

The rules are simple! Write a fic about Napoleon's apron and add it to the collection. It's really that simple! All you need to do is add it when you post by selecting the collection



And also tag it with the Napoleon Solo's Apron tag



And that's it!

Already written a fic about Napoleon's apron go ahead and link/tag it

And you are also welcome to write fic set in the TV universe. I don't imagine it's that far fetched that TV Napoleon would own an apron :D
