I only have forty minutes left to do something productive. Writing this blog post is as productive a thing as any, eh?
In four days it will have been an entire month since I have left work. I have not done much since then. I have slept a lot and have vamped up my fitness regimen, but I still haven’t pumped my bike wheels (I keep leaving the pump at my mum’s house which is two hours away) and I still haven’t joined the gym. I wrote 5600 words in my ‘novel’ and I baked plenty. I also applied to plenty of jobs but nobody is hiring so I will inevitably have to wait forever and just keep trying.
I am being extortionately lazy and unproductive.
It’s becoming a little desperate.
I put off SORNing my car for so LONG that now I have to pay £50 in addition to filling out the SORN form. My front tyre is BUST and I can’t pump it up because there is no petrol in it and it is not insured so if I am caught driving it (which I can’t because the TYRE IS BUST) I will be fined £1000. Also have six points taken off my license, right? Oh I don’t know. Bad things will happen.
I kind wanna blame my husband, though? Even though it’s my car?
Listen, before you get all angry and het up about my ‘men-mysogyny’, here is why:
- He forced me to cancel my insurance because he was going to insure me on his car.
- He decided he didn’t want to insure me on his car, and refused to let me drive my own car home saying it’s too dangerous since I have only done motorways thrice.
- I had no car so I gave him two options, 1. either sell my car or, 2. let me pay for insurance and just drive home.
- He said he would sell it, but failed to do so.
- He said I shouldn’t insure it because he was selling it, BUT HE DID NOT SELL IT. So I didn’t SORN it thinking it would be sold. BUT IT WAS NOT.
- It is all his fault
Now he will be mad at the fine because it was my responsibility to declare my car off road (SORN) but HOW COULD I DO THAT WHEN HE SAID HE WAS SELLING IT?
See? So confusing.
Here is what I will inevitably have to do:
- SORN my car.
- Pay the damn fine.
- Smile at my husband and pretend it was not his fault. Also don’t tell him because he will have a fit. EVEN THOUGH IT IS HIS FAULT.
- Sell my own goddamn car regardless of my husband’s controlling protests about my incapability to do it to his standard of perfection *rolls eyes*.
- Buy a better car and refuse to listen to my husband’s protests about insuring me on his car (Which he won’t do because he doesn’t trust his WIFE with his PRECIOUS). *ROLLS EYES HARD*
- Feel relieved that I now have my own car and don’t need to keep wasting money I am no longer earning on those damn trains.
You taught me a new word – sorn.

5600 words isn’t bad. Especially if they’re as good as this post.

It’s your car and belongs to you. In law you are responsible for your actions, and for your failures to carry out your legal responsibilities. I hope you don’t have anyone depending on you.

It really wasn’t all that serious. That was two years ago and yes, ofcourse by law one is responsible for one’s actions but it is not like I got myself evicted or didn’t pay my bills or neglected to turn up for work. 🙂 It is a small mistake and small mistakes equal small fines which equal not making that mistake again. Also, this post was a joke. I did not, of course, blame my husband in real life.
