Day 117.
Today has been a really good day for me. My car had its service and MOT today. It originally failed the MOT by virtue of a rear brake light that was out, but I knew it would because I knew the light was out and highlighted it when I dropped it off at 8:30am.
Whilst I was waiting for my car to be done I went and donated blood. It was my 28th donation and something that I always find fulfilling, especially given I have a rare blood type.
To add to the expense of the day, my car insurance was up for renewal. Having been given my quote, I managed to actually negotiate a cheaper premium and managed to pay it all on one go. This was significant for me because last year, because I was struggling so much with my debt, I ended up having to pay for my premium monthly.
Then I got the call about my car. The service was done and my car needed new brake pads. I braced myself for the eye watering figure that would follow, only to be told that, because I was a regular customer with them, they'd looked into my purchase history and saw that my brake pads were under warranty, so we're changed for nothing. Music to my ears. It meant that the additional cost of my car after the MOT and service was £12.50.
To top off what was a good day, I received an email in the early evening telling me that I'd received a mark of 89% for my first University assignment. Absolutely delighted with that, especially given my University course very much too a back seat to my gambling over the years. I've duly rewarded myself by buying myself a new pair of trainers.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Stay strong. 💪🏾
