    Okay buffy - just so you all know how stupid i [strike]am[/strike] was:rotfl:

    DD1 and DS used to cycle competitively and we used to belong to a cycling club. Said club organised a weekend away for the kids to do some training in some forest about 100 miles away from home.

    Plan was I would drive DS up on Friday night, stop the night in youth hostel type place and then drive home on the Saturday. Some kind soul would bring him home on the Sunday.

    So all the adults that were there decided to go the pub.......on bikes....I was so trollied I couldn't ride my bike home, so had to have a backie home, but I kept falling off.......

    When I got back to the youth hostel I fell over and woke up the next morning on the top bunk fully dressed with a black eye, and the po faced women I had shared a dorm with looking at me in total disgust....

    It got worse.......

    I then went to drive home, only to find that when I had fallen off the bike the night before I had lost the key to the BMW!!

    OH had to drive all the way up with the spare key and then all the way back down again.............

    he was not a happy bunny.......I am also not allowed to any of his staff parties anymore.......

    I ran 18.5 miles this morning.........and can hardly walk now!

    Do you think that is a reasonable excuse not to do the ironing this afternoon :confused:
