But I'm quite glad in a way. You see, where as most people had the common sense to spend the extra long and might I add, sunny and warm weekend, with friends or family having a laugh and probably a few drinks, I did not.
Which does nothing for my so called party girl status I know.
Instead I spent my 4 day weekend giving my car, who is called Maybel by the way, (and yes I am THAT sad, which you should know already by now!) a full on makeover a la Sev.
Firstly, she was hoovered and scrubbed, which took time as she hasn't been cleaned since about August/September last year, so she was rather minging.
Then, I polished and cleaned the dashboard and other plasticy areas inside the car. After that Maybel then got a well deserved wash, during which I also got to soak Daddy Sev with the hose, which entertained me greatly for 2 minutes.
Here is where Day 1 of the Maybel Makeover ended because I felt like my arms where about to drop off.
Onto Day 2, which is Easter Sunday by the way, where most people sit and eat chocolate. Me however, was about to learn what painful arms were really like!
Maybel was about to get the T-Cut treatment, but only half of her because I felt like I was about to pass out from the constant waxing on and waxing off non stop for like an hour.
And finally Day 3 where the T Cutting continued and finished. I then re-blackened her bumpers and other black plastic trims where they had turned grey in the sun.
Maybel was finally complete. I'd spend the majority of my Bank Holiday weekend scrubbing and sweating over her, but she was done.
And to be fair, she does look amazing and I'm very proud of my uber man-like spent weekend, beer breaks included.
Or at least I was until I hear about how all my friends and other normal people spent their weekend, generally having fun and partying.
I knew then I'd made the wrong, probably sadder decision! Oh well, I spose I have to uphold the sad reputation somehow!
