💋🚨🔥 THE DAY THE TRUCK TRIED TO COMMIT ELECTRICAL SU***DE
So much for my “week of not being late.”
We nearly torched the damn truck.
I swear, if chaos was a brand — I’d be the bloody ambassador.
We’re rollin’ into Bundy, mindin’ our business, when Mandy’s like,
“Amber, we really gotta get that blinker fixed.”
And I’m like, “Relax, woman. It’s not broken — it’s just got… personality.”
Click-click-click — on, off, on, off — I’m basically a certified auto electrician now.
Then she’s losing her mind, saying, “The lights are STUCK ON! The cops are gonna pull us over!”
And I’m like, “What have you done now that I don’t know about?”
Meanwhile, Chayse’s in the back like a tiny talkback host going,
“Mum, Mandy, please… you sound like old biddies at bingo.”
I channel my inner superhero:
“Step aside — Auto-Electric Amber is here to save the day!”
I pull the fuse out and — holy melted marshmallow on a hot day — it’s cooked.
Then Chayse goes, “Mum, is that smoke?”
And I’m like, “Nah, it’s fine…”
Except it was NOT fine. The truck was literally having a meltdown.
Cue chaos.
We yeet out of the cab like it’s on fire (because it kinda was).
I’m diving under the bonnet trying to get the battery off,
Mandy’s shouting, “LEFTY-LOOSEY, RIGHTY-TIGHTY!”
and I’m screaming, “WHO THE HELL IS LUCY AND WHY IS SHE WEARING TIGHTS WHILE MY TRUCK IS BURNING!?”
Then Chayse — bless his dramatic little heart — yells, “FIRE, MUM! FIRE!”
I sprint up ready to fight flames like a Towie Rambo…
Only to find it’s an orange relay light.
So yeah — false alarm. My kid’s clever, but we’re both one spark short of a fuse.
Six hours later, sweaty, feral, and one brain cell away from a nervous breakdown, we cave.
We’re calling a tow truck.
You ever paid towing fees when you ARE the towing company?
Yeah. That one burns worse than the fuse.
Then, like a greasy pink angel from the tow-truck heavens,
our mate Pommy rocks up — first week on the job, heading to the mines —
and somehow gets the rig going.
Absolute bloody legend.
So yeah. The truck’s alive. Mandy’s smug. Chayse thinks he’s Batman.
And me?
I’m officially adding “Auto Electrician (sorta)”
and “Pyromaniac Prevention Specialist”
to my Towie Queen résumé.
💅⚡️💀 Hookin’ Ain’t Easy — especially when your rig’s smokin’ hotter than your attitude.
