WA Oct 2019 6:32pm, 28 Oct 2019 6,286 posts	0 WA SweetPea got a bit giddy whilst playing Articulate and managed to land the chair leg on her toe. The nail will definitely go, there was a lot of blood, and we are both hoping it's not broken.

Raemond Oct 2019 7:12pm, 28 Oct 2019 3,610 posts	0 Raemond One of the dogs woke us up at 1am whining to go out - was let out then came back in and shat on the floor. She woke us again at three and did the same thing. In an unrelated incident, I ended up late and irritated frantically cycling across the city racing an imaginary traffic warden to move my car before the pay and display parking ticket expired. But luckily for me, though I was a good 20 minutes beyond the expiry, there was no ticket on the car when I got to it, and I now have the very unexpected double perk of an unoccupied seat next to me on the eurostar and potential free ticket to the second half of a gig with Tim Minchin and Sara Pascoe (my train gets in too late for the first half, but hey, free is free, and half a show is better than no show at all).
Surrey Phil Oct 2019 7:36pm, 28 Oct 2019 3,261 posts	0 Surrey Phil Went to get a tyre replaced on the car but also shown that a second needed replacing and that the tracking was out. Totally correct by the guy in question, so better safe than sorry.
Garfield Oct 2019 7:50pm, 28 Oct 2019 11,176 posts	0 Garfield Hubby drove to work this morning...only there was a big car crash just before Dorking and the roads were closed into Dorking. He had to come home...he would have been better off staying at home and working.

old mum Oct 2019 8:56pm, 28 Oct 2019 1,100 posts	0 old mum Forgot to pick up my bike from the service people. Again. Third day in a row. Then again, I nearly fell off it (all 16 inches of its frame) three times in the space of 1.5 miles last week, so maybe I should leave it well alone!
Love Lettuce Oct 2019 9:12pm, 28 Oct 2019 837 posts	0 Love Lettuce Got to work and someone had parked in my parking space, so I had to find a long stay public car park that still had places at 8.35. Ended up being late for work
