    Exactly what I've been thinking - a very long week.

    Didn't think it could be because of the hayfever :doh:

    Hope car can manage to run on fresh air :rotfl:

    Another terrible nights sleep due to persistent sneezing and nose blowing...! Day off work today which ordinarily would be great but i've got 2 sports days to go to! So school run, then nip and drop baby SJ at nanny's, then back to school. Then pick baby up and have dinner, then drop baby SJ off at grandma's then back to school, then off to pick baby SJ up, then back to school for school pick up! Maybe my 41 miles of petrol won't last! I'll have to be like a teenage drier again and put £2 worth of petrol in!!

    Every cloud has a silver lining! Hope you had a more relaxing day than planned, all that running around sounded exhausting.

    Reminds me of, a colleague's son in work. Got a car as a birthday present with a full tank, ran about all over the place during that week, then at the end of the week, told his dad there was a leak in the petrol tank.

    So, "dad" had a look, could not find anything.

    Dad - "What makes you think there's a leak" ?
    Son - "Well the petrol gauge keeps going down and now it's empty.
    Dad - "How much petrol have you put in it?
    Son - None
    Dad - :mad: :( :eek:

    :rotfl:

    Don't tell her, but i could see Mrs SJ saying something similar!
    "Newcastle is closer to Scotland than England..."
    "But its in England"
    "Well yeah, but its closer to Scotland"

    Not sure where you can go with the rest of that conversation!
