:sad:

Up until today i have never been one for superstitions like friday the 13th but after today I'm not so sure ! Firstly this morning my cleaning lady managed to get my washing machine to lock solid so my laundry was stuck inside the only way to get it to release was to repeat the whole wash cycle after which I find i can now open it !!!!

Then my passengers for EMA phoned up thinking pick up was an hour earlier than we agreed so through my coffee in the sink & rushed out to pick them up got as far as Rempstone road closed !!!!!! Found a way through but then couldn't access rapid drop off for cars confused about where the car park was blocking all routes. After 5 minutes got in dropped off then got stuck as car at barrier couldn't understand why he wasn't being let out after paying his £2 6 minutes later he got through to someone but by that time all the cars stuck behind were over the 10 minutes. Then as i finally got out the car which had exited before me came flying round the roundabout the WRONG way causing 2 other cars to have to emergency stop and me stuck under thee barrier as it came down again :roll: luckily it stopped must have a failsafe [-o<

then got to Melton and road closed again because of an RTA and some lovely traffic jams to go with it :sad:

But once back to Stamford traffic jams were far worse and took 25 minutes to do a 1 mile run to station but at last some good luck train was late O:)

at last luck improved ; well no worst was yet to come my coach party were an hour late and then half way through whilst unloading the second drop I had to double park as nowhere to pull up then the elderly blind passenger in the front managed to press the lock button with his knee !!! result him and his wife inside vehicle keys in the ignition me outside and cars waiting to get by with me trying to explain from outside what had happened and resolve it :oops: :oops:

from now on I will start to take ||Friday the 13th seriously

Oh and I managed to burn my dinner :roll:

Summer colds are worse than Winter colds, People can die of a summer cold, So Ven I'd put your estate in order and go visit the 6ft Casket maker and start hoping that your next Lemsip is not also your last Lemsip.. :shock: :shock: :shock:

other than that, get well soon.
