Hmmm...why do I bother?

Basically, picked up the GT from work for tomorrow. Litterally just been finished when I got there.
Firstly, the exhaust manifold heat shield had rusted through on one of the bolts so wouldn't fit back on properly. So I was on/off about taking it to UVD tomorrow, eventually I decided I would.
Anyway, half way home. The radio cuts out, cue swearing about crappy radio that has just broken. But wait! The battery light comes on, the headlights and dash lights fade and I find myself having to drive home in the dusk on sidelights!
Anyway, get home, turn car off then quickly back on again and unsuprisingly the battery is as dead as a doornail
Which means a) Car is not coming to UVD tomorrow b) More hassle!
So now I'm wondering whether I should bother going at all tomorrow in the 9n or staying home and trying to source/fit a battery
It seems everything that can go wrong will go wrong with me
9n is filthy so I'd better get cleaning for tomorrow!!
