My car hasn't been washed for a month or 2 and it's covered in Sahara sand. Because the hose pipe ban is still going I can't use my hose pipe. I have used a manual jet wash but every time I do it I get cars queuing behind me even when I did it at 9 o'clock at night.

I've been hearing about rinseless wash and it can apparently be used as a pre wash but I heard it's more likely to cause swirls and scratches and shouldn't be a replacement for pressure washers and only be used for cars with light dust.

next week im heading down to alton towers again and i cant wait but also nervous. girl friend is pressurising me to do smiler saying if i do it she will buy me pick and mix and some money towards a smiler t shirt. Admittedly the ride looks quite fun plus it looks like it has some nice airtime.

the main thing that puts me off smiler is the amount of inversions and forces. i am worried im going to get a headache or worse and that its going to be too intense. I went last year and i went on nemesis which i grayed out on and got a headache and the ride was quite intense especially the forces around the tight corners i would say its my limit. i loved Galactica but it was shut for half the day so i spent most of the day going on thirteen, spinball whizzer and other family rides. unfortunately wicker man was also shut which i really wanted go on that ride.

unfortunately didn’t get the courage to do smiler, oblivion, Rita i was also quite sad about not doing oblivion as my dad used to love that ride who is unfortunately no longer with us. im also autistic which is accelerating the fear because its the fear of the unknown and getting stuck on a ride i find uncomfortable. one time i went on a twister flat ride and i hated it i just wanted to get off.

i did previously get over my fear of big looping coasters at las vegas going on all of the coasters at the adventure dome and the big apple coaster which was fast but they were not as intense as the ones at Alton towers which they did take me by surprise.
