    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
  • Mornng all....not used to seeing this thread way back on page 2 !!

    Hope everyone has a nice Saturday planned. I am off to town & then a walk in the freah air I think....weather permitting....its very cold out there though!! Brrrr

    Morning,

    Breezing in quick, have such a lot to do. Had a nightmare weekend planned, a party for one of the outlaws over 60 miles away which meant me, OH and the kids had to stay over tonight (was so excited last week when I thought I wouldn't be seeing them again till next year :rolleyes: then the party invite landed on the doorstep :(). OH doesn't drive so a 3 hour round trip for me. Then.....last night the car wouldn't start :rolleyes: got it going eventually and now OH doesn't believe me, he thinks I'm making it up so I don't have to go to said party. (Obviously, it's a big bonus :D but) I wouldn't do something like that, especially as he'd booked the hotel and now will have to pay 50% cancellation fee.

    Problem I now have is, just tried the car again and it works perfectly :undecided I now have to pretend it doesn't and take a bus into town with the 2 kids to get some shopping in the FREEZING cold to prove the point :rolleyes:

    What a tangled web :rolleyes:

    Also a plus about not going means I don't have to be surrounded by loads of alcohol and drunk people tonight :beer:

    Hope you all have a lovely sunny sober saturday :D

    xx

  • I was read a novel where that happened; the woman was driving with her male colleague & the car just stopped. The car was later found to be fine so everyone thought they were having an affair (they weren't), all sorts of ups & downs, her husband went off & slept with his young secretary, the marriage broke up...then he was in the car & just stopped :eek: :rotfl:

    Was a great book :D

    Good luck with the bus, Jo. Sorry about the cancellation fee etc but can see how that overall it is a plus ;)

    Good God!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Kids are upset about the party, I have now promised them we'll play a game of some description this afternoon, that didn't cheer them up so I said I'll buy them Mc'd's for dinner, that didn't do it so now I've promised we'll do some baking as well. Just checked supplies and I have none so have to go into town now (on the bus :rolleyes:) but buy cake making stuff :rolleyes:

    The outlaws have just offered to drive all the way from outer mongolia (in the opposite direction of this evenings party) to look at the car :eek:

    I just can't believe that, if only I'd got my 'arris in gear a bit sooner, we'd be either sat freezing our bums off at the bus stop or shopping for baking stuff by now and I would've missed the phone call :rolleyes:

    After I declined their kind offer of putting an extra 45 miles each way on their round trip, they've told me to push the car 100yds up the road and call the AA......:undecided

    I'm off to buy cake stuff.....

    :wave:
