Yesterday was a great day! Even if I was skint after it all. Anyway, I paid my bills like a good little girl & I did all my food shopping & I even made it to team practice in the night (for pool), although half the team did not. Gareth & I made it to Surrey & back as well. It took 8 hours in total, but it was well worth it. We went on a 460 mile round trip to pick up my ace scooter :) It's a 1970s vespa style Honda. A true Japanese import jobby though. The thing isn't even registered in the UK. The guy I bought it off has had it three years & let it continue to rust etc. So it's mine & Gareth's summer restoration project. It's the first attempt by both of us to do up a bike, we've both worked on cars before. Gareth's favourite was the Opel Manta. He is still devestated that he got rid of it. But I'm sure he'll find another one somewhere along the line. I love this little scooter, well I say little, it's bigger than I expected it to be. It cost me £55. Bargain. We're keeping it in the kitchen at the moment, so the kids on the street don't try to pinch it or wreck it. A good plan it was too, until the fooking dog got hold of it earlier!!!! She decided that, because it's taking up a bit of her space, she'd eat all the original honda tact badges off the panels. Demolished them she did!!!!! I was NOT impressed. I don't think I'll ever be able to replace them either. I'm heart broken & the dog is banished to her cage for the night. This could very well be the last straw in a very long line of destructive behaviour for her. I thought we had made huge progress with her lack of respect for things & eating stuff she shouldn't. Like my trainers, sofa, scooter etc, but I was wrong & she is once again on the verge of being rehomed. I've backed down on this point several times over the last few months, but today has really taken the biscuit & I'm not going to let her off easy. She's getting the cold shoulder that's for sure. She stresses me out so much, I just don't know if I can cope with it any more. We'll just have to wait & see. If she stays, she's a very lucky dog indeed.
