letus my ils have done something similar. Found a car identical to theirs, put all their shopping in the boot and got in. It was only when the car wouldn't start they realised it was the wrong one.

They'd probably have driven it home otherwise.

Morning all. Had a faaaaabulous lie in this morning. Now got my breakfast, tea, telly on and bidding you all good morning.

Thank you letus for waking me up with bedroom eyed Athos. Reminded me of last night! Grin

I've lost a car in the Bluewater car-parks once. I was with 2 girlfriends on a weekend away so we were a bit giddy at the prospect anyway. So the whole episode wasn't helped by the fact that we had to keep stopping running around the carparks because we were so hysterical we were on the point of wetting ourselves. In the end we had to go back into John Lewis & say we didn't know where our car was Blush

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 08/02/2015 10:25

JL assistant: "Well, when you arrived, what dept did you enter the store through when you exited the carpark?"

Us: "We don't know."

JL assistant: "FML"

Speaking of vehicles, I've booked my first direct access lesson for next Saturday. Smile

Baddz · 08/02/2015 10:50

Mouse...good luck! (And buy a very easily identifiable car!:))

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 08/02/2015 10:56

Ooooof. BBC America are really spoiling us. Can you imagine that photoshoot?

"Right, I'm just going to play Staying Alive, you 4 do your thing"

"Now just stand there & smoulder "

Fuckinell.

Baddz · 08/02/2015 11:03

Enormouse · 08/02/2015 11:13

40 children at a party

Only 8 including DS1/2. The thing is none of us is an appreciated of tat and by the time I have bought 5/6 things plus the bags I decided to just get something good. I bought 'all for one and one for all' notecards so thank yous can go in the bag plus cake. He only ever invites the same 6 kids and every year has a quiz party so I have bigger things to think about than the bags - trying to make sure everyone can answer the questions without then being too easy for some of the others.

I have never lost a car or got into the wrong one. However, at the Apple Store a woman walked towardse and waved and I waved back and greeted her then realised she was talking to the people behind - sparks and Madame were like this Hmm I though it might be Fancy although this lady looked nothing like how she had been described.

ApricotCrush · 08/02/2015 11:26

Morning wenchi!

Gosh Mouse you're brave.

I've been crying with laughter at the stories of mistaken identity and mistaken cars. We once lost a hire car in Benalmadena. It was a combination of forgetting the registration number, where we'd left it, and the number of identical cars in the vicinity. We kept thinking we'd found it, trying the key which wouldn't work and then realising it was the wrong car. At one stage we thought it must have been stolen. It took us an hour before we found the right one.

Thanks for all the lovely pictures.

Off to do Sunday things. Smile

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 08/02/2015 11:31

Morning all.

Wonderful tales of lost cars etc this morning Grin and I often do that waving at people who wave at me thing anne Blush.

Well, have sorted out today's transport related problem. I only got a replacement for the return journey though because I'm a bitch & don't see why ex should get off scot free for double booking & inconveniencing me twice & the other person who's having to cover him.

FancyFancy · 08/02/2015 11:38

Shock ww, have you been able to get inside yet?

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/02/2015 11:45

I 'lost' mine in a empty car park - there were about 3 cars and not one was mine. Turned out mine was randomly parked behind another larger one so I couldn't see it. Grin

And now off, like Apricot, to do Sunday things....

MiladyBeaWinter · 08/02/2015 11:58

Morning (just).

Loving all the stories of losing cars. I've never tried to get in one or put stuff in the wrong one, but I have wandered round the wrong floor on a car park like a numpty for about 15 mins (with that ever increasing feeling of panic you get) until I realised Hmm.

I have a tendency to random smile at people. Not because I'm a particularly cheery person (especially pre coffee) but it's just how it is up here. It's back to the 1950s and everyone just is nice. They even talk to you on the buses and stuff. So when I'm somewhere a bit metropolitan I always forget you are not meant to smile and everyone probably thinks I'm slightly unhinged. I worked in London for 5 years, you'd think I'd have learnt. But no Grin Grin Grin.

WW is that somebody famous' house or something? Or just a bargain? Hope you get in the door.

MiladyBeaWinter · 08/02/2015 12:02

Good on you Fancy. That's not being a bitch, that's just teaching him the error of his ways.

ApricotCrush · 08/02/2015 12:22

I frequently lose my car on supermarket car parks. It's a sports car and very low and it hides in between other cars. Grin

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 08/02/2015 12:24

Am on exercise bike so ignore typos. Anne I think you'll find our reaction at Apple Store was bahahahahahahahaha at your "wait. I don't know you" ......

AnneOfAramis · 08/02/2015 12:48

It did take me a little while to realise.

MavisGrind · 08/02/2015 12:49

Afternoon all. I too have lost a car in a car park - came out of a shopping centre at the opposite end I came in. (Glad it's not just me)

Very lazy day here dog is walked, papers are bought and we're doing nothing. Lovely.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 08/02/2015 12:56

Well I did get in eventually, but it didn't feel right. The bathroom needed a lot of work and I can't be bothered. Tons of people! Probably because of the asking price. Lots of cars and narrow snowy road is not a great combo. On the way back the traffic came to a halt for a while, because of a horse trailer coming from the other direction but it all ended well. Phew!

Bads you're so adorable Smile I bet that guy was thinking "OMG, where did this hot chick came from"! Wink

AnneOfAramis · 08/02/2015 12:58

Wench Wisdom Needed:

I made a massive pot of jambalaya and obviously no one really likes it. I think it was ok and have loads - can I freeze it? It has rice, chicken, garlic sausage and some veg in?

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 08/02/2015 13:04

When did you make it? YY to freezing it, if it's only you who'll be eating it then do it in bags of you-sized portions.
