The OH took Son No 2 back to Glasgow today. All was going well until they tried to get going again after a meal stop in Inverness. The car wouldn't start. It eventually was coaxed into life and drove to Glasgow no bother. However once there it refused to start again.
Many hours and an AA sign up later it transpires the car has a faulty camshaft sensor that needs replaced but the AA guy couldn't do it. He also opined that every single garage in Glasgow was booked solid for the next two weeks, and by the time he had got to the car and found out what was wrong most of them were closed for the weekend anyway. so OH couldn't even start to try and find one to do the repair.
Ker-ching!
He is not a happy bunny as there's no sensible way to get back until the car is fixed unless he can get a flight, and apart from not liking being away from home there's not much food in the house for me as we were expecting to do a supermarket shop on Sunday or Monday. Not that I can't shop for myself and the cats if I need to.
The one small bright spot is that our Christmas present for Son No 2, which a courier delivery man had just left outside the door of his flat several days before Christmas but after son no 2 had been collected and brought here, had been taken in by a neighbour so he has it now. I had had visions of it disappearing, not unlike our cat food delivery which another courier maintains he has tried to deliver twice to an empty house. Only thing is house wasn't empty, lights on, sunroom door not locked ... Possibly he has been trying to deliver to the wrong place.
Hassle, hassle, hassle
Anyway here is son no 2 modelling the jacket,
He loves it. So that's something.
Don’t talk to me about delivery drivers….the best one lately was “left in back porch”.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a flat…..
I once had a card telling me the parcel was in the porch. Fine - except the card was also in the porch . . . on top of the parcel!
ReplyDeleteWhy? I mean . . . WHY?
No such issues here - all things come either via the postie (Edith or one of her colleagues) or The Floss - all know that the door is open so they just shove things inside!
Well of course it's the same here as far as Royal Mail goes but when firms use couriers it can be a bit hit and miss, depending on the driver really.
