Wish I could just erase today and start again.
Placement went okay - quite an emotional day though.
The my back wiper on the car isn't working.
Take it to garage.
Mention the car going a bit scatty when its popping into 5th gear.
They then tell me the bad news.
I needs a new clutch. £160 for labour, £120 for the part.
When ordering the new clutch they then get told from parts place that I might have a double mass flywheel, which costs £280 to replace. The garage themselves query this, as for a car the age of mines to have this particular part is unusual.
So total of £580 for a repair then, but they will tighten my handbrake and fix the rear windscreen wiper for free then.
I almost cried, for the second time today.
Cue trip to Lidls for big bar of chocolate and some iced coffee. Boo hoo.
Oh - have also picked a subject for my second oral exam, care of a patient with venous leg ulcers explaining dressing and wound care. Its all gravy baby.

oh Dear. Welcome to the world of car ownership. See when you come to pay up, just keep telling yourself how much easier the car makes your life, and how much you love it.
