  • I need to move the portable TV into the living room to watch it, but I'm expecting a call in a few minutes.

    I'm getting really wound up about this journey :( There are 2 possibilities of where it could be (2 golf clubs) and I've planned either route - I know I'll get 'I bet you've had to look it all up,haven't you', but 1 in particular is making me very nervous. I know it's stupid to have such a phobia, but I am getting better - I'm fine now about driving to the school where my class is, I was fine about the training course in Poole the other week, but this is really outside my comfort zone :(

  • It's not stupid BB :) I remember you posting about driving to the school, you didn't want to... but you did it! You seem to have a handle on things, and there's no reason you shouldn't look up journeys - OH should f-ecking well support you in that and be considerate about it. Have you considered a sat-nav?

    You're not missing much, just dragging out the whole 'this would mean the world to me' crap....

    I'm sorry BB, but if he took the p1ss out of me like that, he'd walk everywhere. Once his legs had mended of course ;)

  • I've got a kind of sat nav, but I don't use it. When I was on the Pay as You Drive insurance with Norwich Union, it came with free installation of a system where a button on my dashboard links to a call centre. When I press it, they ask where I want to go and then send through the spoken route. It was free for a month and then was either £10 per month or I could load it with £20 'credit' and then each journey is 75p. I've never bothered as I only do work, Charlie, supermarket.

    It's very bizarre when you do use it and you suddenly hear a greeting like 'hello Keren, how are you? Where would you like to go?'

    I've currently got free camera detection for a year (their way of saying sorry that the policy was discontinued) which is useful, but a bit of a pain as once within 50 metres of the camera, it beeps very loudly at you until you go under the speed limit - even 1mph over on approach sets it off!

    BB, why don't you let OH drive there and then you can drive home....that way if you get lost or need to go round in a couple of circles, he won't be there.
