    No-one hurt, thankfully. A huge noise as it hit, and hassle for the driver more than anything. But it was just that bit too far (and too dark!) to walk the rest of the way, so had to just sit and wait it out.....

    Just a crappy evening. And my dinner smells horrid!!

    So.....planned evening.

    Get home at 6. Do M/S on phone. Cook something yummy for dinner. Quick whizz round the lounge, soak in the bath, do some number crunching, watch a bit of telly, go and get the kids.

    Actual evening.......

    Got to the driveway. Locked out. Also left mobile phone at home. Kids at the cinema with their dad. Went to neighbours to borrow phone, got hold of OH and asked him to leave DDs key at the cinema foyer.

    Went back to the city.....kindly neighbour gave me a lift.....got DD's keys......walked to the bus.......waited half an hour in the cold for the bus......got to the next village to ours.......lorry hit the bus......wait for bus driver to assess damage.....ring depot.....make arrangements.....

    Got home. Too late to do the phone m/s as they close at 8. Also is last day to do it, so have lost £8.

    Am cold, hungry, feet tired from walking miles. Came home to a letter from solicitor saying house/mortgage all sorted......which somewhat contradicts the message on the answerphone from halifax saying "I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem that anything has been done. I think you need to contact the person who originally advised you in the branch".....:mad:

    And my lovely homemade treat of a dinner, is now a microwave low calorie low fat mush in a plastic tray instead.......

    Right, have eaten microwave slop......a chicken and brocolli pie....with very bland mashed potato on top.......I even tried to make it more interesting by putting some cheese on the top and putting it under the grill, but it didn't really make too much difference (except to the WW points of course!).

    Ah well......OH has just called to say that the children should be done in time to get the last bus home, so hopefully no need to go and get them, but I won't have a drink, just in case they miss the bus and I need to drive. Such is my evening so far, that I think this will be the case. That is, of course, if the bus company get a replacement bus out as the one they should be using is the one I have come home on this evening that needs repair!

    I think I will write off this evening - wait for the children to get home, then just go to bed and read. Ready to start again tomorrow.

    I have put a qualifier on for a matched bet, though, so hope to recoup some of the lost income from the mystery shop tomorrow.
