The HGV driver's lack of observations aside, do you see there is a slight problem here?

Yeah I know I added to the situation, one I'll endeavour not to get myself in again.
Don't fancy trying to repeat it.

I'm going to have a multiple gripe

1. Letter from the school about my daughters attendance (she was off sick with a virus for a week), as it might be affecting her school work. Well, following last nights parents evening, she's doing really well, despite being ill!

2. Spotted an oil leak from my car, its not a big leak, but I can't see where its coming from, so I guess it's at the back of the engine somewhere where I can't get too it. Hope its a simple fix, otherwise its bye bye car

3. No nail brushes in the pound shop!

4. Rain,. rain go away
