I do think that because of all the damage she will probably be a write off. Which is probably just as well? I would never get the glitter out. And I really love that she is going out in a blaze of bedazzled, pink, glittery and sequined glory 🤣

Apparently there is pink glitter and sequins and I have no idea what all over my car. I am desperate to try to get some photos and see what happened to her. I had been hoping she was off doing exciting things but I was not expecting this.

Me, no chill: “WHATTTTTT? NO! WHAT? SHE BEDAZZLED MY CAR?!” I mean, what can you do but laugh, really, and both me and the cop were crying laughing. She said “we thought you might have been the most girly person ever!” 🤣

Have a pink water bottle, so that’s good, they can hopefully get some DNA from that. Then the cop hesitates and tentatively asks another question. “So, um, did you bedazzle your steering wheel and gear stick?”

And they do call. At 5pm tonight I get a call from them and they have a couple of questions for me. They are trying to find out if some things they found in the car belong to me or to the person who stole it. I don’t keep much in there, so chances are low that it’s mine and I definitely don’t…

They tow the car off to get forensic analysis done and all that and they let me know that the crime scene investigator team will be in touch when she’s ready. (I promise this is worth the wait. Just wait. Wild)

Then last night I got a call from the police: my car has been found and they arrested someone. But she was as in a multi car crash and damaged both sides of the front of the car. I think she hit someone and then drove into oncoming traffic and hit the other side too.

Called insurance the next day and got that process moving too. If it doesn’t turn up in two weeks of making a claim, it gets declared missing and insurance pays me out. I start looking at second hand cars just in case because I definitely don’t think it’s going to turn up after being gone so long.

Went back to where I parked and…no sign of my car. We walked around in case I parked in a different spot but definitely not there. Apparently I am calm under pressure, because I didn’t panic, just got a taxi back to mum’s and made a police report.

Parked my car near the station, and almost exactly across the road from the restaurant (though the road curves so it wasn’t in view of where we sat). Dinner was lovely. Met some incredible contacts and had a blast.

Which isn’t far, but I don’t know the area well or the public transport situation, it was easiest to drive. I half thought I might drive back to Ballarat after, but left all my bags and stuff at mum’s when I went to eat.

So a few weeks ago I took a day of carers leave to drive my mum to some specialist appointments. Long story short, we ended up just getting a cab there, but since I had my car in Melbourne with me, I drove myself to a dinner with some fellow clients of my career coach. It was in Brighton.

I will tell you about one thing that has been going on over the last couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a wild ride.

I believe in your powers of manifestation here!

🫂 I’m really delighted, honestly. I have ages to plan and prepare, and I’m getting a generous payout too. Really excited for what’s ahead

It is really nice being able to see the wide impact on the bank that I’ve made though. I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved here.
