4. Use The Present Perfect or The Past Simple. A difficult week I (not / have) a very good week this week. On Monday I (lose) my purse. It only (have) about £3 in it, but I (be) upset, because I (love) that purse. It (be) like an old friend. It's the first time I (ever / lose) a purse. On Tuesday, I (miss) the bus and (be) late for work. That's something I (not / do) since last winter, when there (be) lots of snow. Of course, when I (walk) in late, my boss (give) me a good telling off. What about you, (you / ever / be) late for work? Which brings me to today: for a start, I (have) a headache all day, and I still have – it (not / go) away. I'm leaving the office in a few minutes, and I can tell you, I (have) problems from the moment I (arrive). At 9.05 my word pro-cessor (refuse) to work. I (call) one of the technicians, and she (manage) to sort it out – but that (take) half the morning. They (promise) me a new one, but it . (not arrive) yet. At lunch, I (eat) something that . (not agree) with my stomach, and I (have) stomach ache all afternoon – it's still not finished
