Managed to persuade the Ms ds and the little one to come to the Scottish Italian Classic Car show. Got everyone up at the spring of dawn.
My daughter even helped me wash the car.
Opened the laptop to see where the venue was... ooops...

Its tomorrow.

Really in the bad books.

This reminds me of the time we went to France. I had done all the preparation. The Ferry was leaving Poole at 8AM, so I booked a B&B in Poole the night before. WE drove down from Leeds the day before got to the B&B no problems.....


On the day of the sailing we got up at 5:30AM and drove down to the ferry terminal for 7AM.

When we got there everything was locked up??

Bit strange I thought, maybe I got the wrong time??

Got the tickets out and realised I got the wrong ferry terminal - It should have been Portsmouth and not Poole!! Doh.... I haven't lived that down over the years..... and it was 14 years ago!!

You just reminded me:

I started booking a ferry/train to france about 11.30pm for 'tomorrow evening' once.. managed to get a good deal - however, what I didn't realise is by the time I actually booked it the time had just gone midnight so I screwed the dates up and booked it a night later :/

only realised about an hour before we were meant to leave :/

Win some, lose some.

If it makes you feel any better I've been up at 6, at the station by 7, wondering why the platform is clear, then realised it was Saturday..............
