Question

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
