awww, thank you Highmac. Appreciated.
Yup, life on the road. Not good. And now a dead car, which was terrifying as it died along the motorway.
Car is at the garage with an intermittent fault. I am probably taking my mother's car back so that has been to the garage and it was touch and go whether that would be ok. Apparently I can collect it tomorrow.
**** sigh **** - I need to get home! I miss my wee dug!
