I'm just a slow learner, I guess.

So - it's been 2 weeks since my car broke down and died. I have stressed, cried, complained, and looked at so many cars online and in person that I'm SICK OF IT!!! And actually it all came down to the fact that I can't afford anything that I looked at anyway. Brad spent hours helping me and so did Anneke, so I thank them (and all the other family members and friends who patiently listened to me) so much for the help and support. In the end I got an old car from some people I know in Preston. I think it was the right thing to do, because I feel a lot calmer now.
