Well thats tomorrow sorted then - sigh
Gabrielle (the ex) is stranded in Bude with her husband and his parents. Why are they stranded ?.
Her husband chased after the dog on Sunday, fell over and gave himself a chipped bone in one arm and a damaged shoulder in the other arm, therefore he can"t drive. Marie rings and says her mother wants her to go down and drive their car home (Gabrielle doesn"t drive - well she did, she drove me round the bend).
Maries gets stressed about
1. trains to get there (I take her point she would feck it up with 4 changes)
2. Driving back such a long way
Cue numerous phone calls and suggestions (mine were not entirely acceptable) and I cracked and said feck it.
So myself and Marie are driving down there and Marie is driving their car home (via bath to drop off his parents).
I will follow in case Marie gets into bother.
5 and a bit hours there - 6 and a bit hours back.
perfect
