I wonder if YG saw William and me waving as she dashed through my local station. We howled as loud as we could in case she could hear us :-D

Well the site's working properly now so I've packed him off to spend some time with someone else.

I gave his some jam sandwiches and put him on the train.............. God knows where he'll get off.

Are you sitting comfortably LG? (Bad back apart!)

Bad night's sleep, up at 12.30, dozed off again, then Duffy got me up at 3.30. Alarm went off at five, rushed to do jobs and get ready. Oh dear, I have no change for the car park. Do I pay on the way in or out? Don't know, so I will have to call at the shop on the way out and buy a choccie bar to change a £10 note!! Got to the car park, paid the charge, met up with my manager. Walked to the station, loaded with papers for meeting in laptop bag in one hand, handbag in other. We were 25 mins early for the train to Sheffield so stood chatting away. 10 mins to go before the train arrives, manager says 'why don't you go and get a cup of tea, you have time. Ok, says I, fumbling in handbag for purse >>>>>>>>> and fumbled and fumbled >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> no purse! PANIC!!!!!! Train tickets are in purse along with bank cards so cannot buy another ticket on London train. 34 year old spritely manager says 'run back to the car and see if you have left it there. I will look after your bags.

Did she realise she was talking to an almodst 63 year old!!! RUN!! She had to be kidding!!

Legged it back to the car, gasping and clutching my chest, took a short cut that proved to be a dead end, so had to go back and all the way round. Purse sitting quietly on seat, so grabbed it and legged it back to the station, half dead and ready to call an ambulance, sweat running down from the top of my head to my toes!!! Walked up the stairs, manager waiting >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'train left one minute ago', but don't worry there is another one in five minutes but it stops at every station so don't know whether we will catch the connecting train to London. Phoned other manager who we were meeting at Sheffield and told him to get on the train if we didn't arrive!

Well, we did manage to arrive in time. Lovely journey to St Pancras, plenty of sun and a few black clouds, but not rain. Arrived St Pancras and it was drizzling and as I hadn't got the shoulder strap on my bag both hands were full, so couldn't manage a brolly as well. Set off walking up Euston Road and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the heavens opened!! I arrived at the meeting looking like a drowned rat, blouse soaking wet and stuck to my skin!!

Started meeting, waited for lunch to arrive, no lunch. Ran upstairs to our HO and asked them to check. I hadn't finalised the online order, so no food coming!!! Ok, the Chief Exec's PA and I will leg it back to Euston Station where they have built a small Sains****** and buy sandwiches and crisps for seventeen people!!! Rain had stopped, so at least I didn't get another soaking.

Meeting finished. Opened front door of building and it was pouring down!!! This time I had put the strap on the bag so at least was able to hold the brolly!!

I have come home absolutley knackered and I don't know where my legs hurt most!!

Bad Day!!! Noooooooooooo, not really!!!

Well at least I know where Sweetpea went, he was hiding in YG's handbag.

That would make a good sitcom YG! :-)

YG Report 7 Jul 2011 19:07

I bought fish & chips, fed the cats and collapsed on the sofa. Not quite sure whether I can get the shins and ankles to start moving so I can get back in the kitchen to make a cuppa.

Any chance of anyone sending one over? I've got the lounge window open and the beaker sitting ready on the coffee table!!
