A Near Miss

When catching a plane on Christmas eve it is not a good idea to leave the light on inside your car thus causing the battery to run flat. This is an even worse idea if your husband rides a motorbike and you are a one car family.

Our flight was at 9.30am and we discovered the dead as a doormouse car at 7am. The airport is 45-60 minute drive away which left us 30 minutes maximun to sort out our problem.

My solution was to suggest ringing for a taxi, calling Joules parents to give us a lift as well as hoping that Tim-Joules brother, who was driving us to the airport in our car (because we knew the battery would be flat after a week) and his car is way too small (vintage sports car) to fit us in-would have jump leads.

Joules solution is to swear, swear and swear a bit more whilst refusing to listen to my suggestions...and then swear a little more.

Fortunately for us Tim did have jump leads, we took the new port tunnel and got to the airport in 30 minutes with plenty of time to spare before our flight.

So, who left the light on?

A BIG Boobie

No not these...

...or these...

...but the posting of the pictures I'm preparing for my fish 'n' quips post. I'm not sure how it happened but it wasn't meant to so if you could just forget about it I'd be very grateful!
