the disney one really want at moment is locked in the disney vault:eek: DS1 keeps saying he wants Peter Pan everytime he watches Jake and the Neverland Pirates, but as its not a current disney release can only get it for stupid prices online.

I see you all appreciated Mr 3Dogs/Alan posting earlier :j :j He is always saying 'tell them this, or tell them that' and 'you've got to thank them' so I set laptop up for him to post. He has seen a few of the replies and was very touched by them Thanks guys :A

Alan had let me have a nice lie-in this morning and he got up to watch sky sports news. I got up at noon and he went to bed at 1pm - ships that pass in the [STRIKE]night[/STRIKE] day spring to mind :rotfl: :rotfl: woke him up at 3pm to watch Sooccer Special

Alan was disappointed that his Blue Badge hasn't come yet. She said it normally takes 48 hours but the Easter weekend would make it a bit longer, but we thought it would be here by now If not here on Monday, I will ring CAB to check as I need to make an appointment with her anyway to get my DLA form completed as just realised it needs to be back by 26th April :eek: As she had squeezed me in for Alan's forms, I didn't ask her to do mine then

But what an eventful night I've had :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I went along to Mr T just after 6pm, had a good wander around looking for bargains no 'simply add' or king prawns in March store and picked up a few whoopsies but nothing startling, and when I left there at 7.30pm I went further into March to the chinese takeaway and got Alan his special curry & chips he fancied today, and special rice with curry sauce for me. When I got back into the van, I put it into reverse to back round the corner I was at and heard a sharp 'twang' noise. I gave this noise little thought until I stopped and tried to put car into first gear to find it had been the clutch cable snapping and I now had no clutch :eek: The pedal was flat to the floor and I could flop it up and down with my foot I put it into 1st gear and then tried to start the engine but the battery was weak and wouldn't turn the engine over Rang Alan to let him know what had happened and then rang breakdown service. I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the main road I was just off and the guy couldn't find the side road I was on using his map. But I told him roughly where I was and 15 minutes later the local breakdown truck driver rang me to confirm my location. He arrived 5 minutes later and used a jumpstart to get car going, bumping it to start the engine and drove it up the ramp onto his truck. I was pleased with the speed of recovery as I'd rang them at 8pm, guy arrived at 8.20pm and I was home at 8.45pm, so that's not bad

When I told him about Alan, the driver was telling me that his brother died of bowel cancer, which went to his kidneys, then up his spine to his brain and he'd died within 6 weeks of diagnosis which was out of the blue. He was only 24 yrs old At least Alan has got out of hospital and has some time pain-free to enjoy life ....... makes you think though. I know we all say enjoy life as you never know what is around the next corner, but I think I'll be going in straight lines from now on ... no corners for me :eek: :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We did have a laugh on the way home though as I told the driver that I had ice cream in the back of the van and chinese takeaway in the front, and didn't know which I should put in the cool box. I'd settled on the ice cream going in there as I waited for the breakdown vehicle as I could always reheat the takeaway but thawed ice cream? :eek: :eek: it doesn't refreeze well

Alan was concerned about me being so long although I'd rang him again when truck arrived, and was feeling very upset when I got back as he felt useless at not being able to help or sort it out for me We will have to get a mate to have a look at it and fit a new clutch cable if necessary

p.s. Alan enjoyed his curry

so lovely to hear you guys are a great team, you are both a total inspiration! lovely to hear how your cup is always half full and not half empty. take care of each other xxxxxxxxxx
