Doh!

Balls! The date of my driving test has been a closely guarded secret since I booked it, known only to me and my driving instructor. However, I've just realised that I am STUPID and have inadvertently revealed it to my mother by booking a bunch of house viewings at the time when my driving lesson usually is - I know, of course, that I won't be having one, because that particular day is just after my test date. She doesn't know that - or she didn't until now. BALLS!

I could probably reclaim the situation by casually dropping in to conversation that I rescheduled my lesson for that week because [insert plausible reason here], but man. MI5 made the right choice - I would never have cut it as a spy. Subterfuge is totally beyond my capabilities, on account of me being, as my icon says, dumb as a box of hair.

BALLS!!!

So, on a related but different note, a poll. I can't decide what kind of car to get, so I thought I'd ask the great LJ gods (i.e. you lot) for your thoughts.

This is a Ford KA, and this is the Ford Fiesta. Any thoughts, my flist?

Bad things?? Like what? You can't just leave me hanging like that, Ced!!! ;)

I think they're both about the same on fuel consumption, so that probably won't be a deciding factor, although it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

I think it was repair prone and it drives itself badly without servo or such.

Good luck. My bro drives a Hyundai, btw. :)

I see. I think any car has its potential problems, especially when you tote up any and all possible faults like that. I think I'll still go with a Ford - the Japanese cars are more reliable in the long term - my mother drives a Honda - but they cost more and I can't afford it right now.
