Cheers guys. I was just venting frustration, however the offer is hugely appreciated. I'm not sure yet, but I may well take one of you up on it for Friday/ Saturday if I can't figure out another option. Will catch up with Vicki and work out what to do tonight. Depending on what's up with the disco, I might hire a rental?

A bit still to do for the school fair, so peeved at the bad timing. frown

Cheers Andy. I'll give you a bell about anything that crops up for Saturday once I work out the plan.

It's a little bit hectic for car problems to come up this week. Meant to be in Daventry tomorrow afternoon (which I might well move), Bournemouth Friday, the Fair is Saturday and the BBQs need to get there and back, then the whole family needs to get to Luton Airport for 5am on Sunday. What a bloody mess frown

Andy is a bloody star, as he is saving the day tomorrow thumbup

Cheers Sinc and Pete for the offers, but Andy is just around the corner which is the easiest smile

Nigel, if the Disco isn't back by Saturday I might well need the airport transfer expertise...

Luckily I now have a passport again after a quick trip to NZ house in London yesterday! I'll be glad when the week from hell is over (PROVIDED THE ASH CLOUD DOESN'T fk UP MY PLANE TAKING OFF!!!).
