Ok, whoever said that only women have blonde moments was definitely talking out of their rear end (and im not saying that on behalf of Great Britain!)

In the middle of a heavy schedule this morning I was somehow tempted to have a look at my vehicle log book. I guess you could call it something like "female intuition from a mans feminine side"  but a damn good job it happened cos the date it showed as being first registered was 27th Oct 2005 ....  In other words my little "Roxy"  was gonna need an MOT certificate from midnight on Sunday (An annual inspection test that the Ministry of Transport issues to every road vehicle over 3 years old , and if the cops catch you without one then you can end up with a hefty fine plus upto six points on your license ... in other words your ass can be well and truly screwed)

Bearing in mind most garages dont open on weekends I had to act , fast! After a few seconds of panic I called one of my mechanic friends Bill and asked if he could get me booked in with one of his testing station contacts.

Yay, got it sorted for 2.30 this afternoon. The old boy at the garage was smirking at me almost as if he knew i'd left it till the last minute. "Good job your mate Bill called me earlier eh young man?"   

"Grrrrr," i thought , "I'll knock your bloody teeth out Bill for laughing at my expense"  (only thing is Bill hasnt got any teeth left anyway!  

Anyways, the old boy at the garage had it all done and dusted by 3.15 and handed me a couple of do****ents after Id paid my £40 dues.

"Erm, you havent given me the MOT certificate mate"  I queried

"Yes i have" he said with a grin, "Its obviously been some time since you had to have one, theyve changed the style of it now"

Duh! I felt like a right dork as i left his office and walked towards "Roxy" .

"Happy 3rd Birthday, girl"  I said to her "Ive got you a present" waving the MOT certificate at her, "Me and you have a very important job to do Monday morning picking up Sophia from the airport"

I swear she looked back at me with a wink and a smile  - perhaps she was remembering the time Sophia tried to drive her and couldnt get the hang of using the gear stick- jeez, you americans and your automatic cars !   :)
