Well if mid-week was dodgy, the end of the week got worse. I had what only can be described as a near fainting attack in work - not the sort of thing I am known for. Was looked after beautifully by my colleagues, and escorted home by the duty manager. This meant that my hubby and daughter had to go back into town later in the evening and bring my car back. Seemed like a good plan, until I got a phone call after they had left. Danielle had been driving her little fiat Punto - Fiona, which is her first car - she has only been driving a few months, and a big stag deer leapt out of the hedgerow giving her absolutely no chance of stopping and the front end of Fiona is totally wrecked. She was so upset - to make matters worse it wasnt killed and was dragging its back legs down the road. Jay called the police straight away - as they were on a very busy but unlit road - the A26 between Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells in case you know it. Soon a guy turned up who the police had contacted - he deals with the deer side of things and poor Jay was still trying to manage the traffic. The deer man couldn't deal with the deer as he needed a shotgun, so he called his colleague out. I didnt know this - but although these deer guys are licensed, they have to have the police present before they can discharge a firearm on a public highway. Still no sign of the police and they made the decision to carry on to stop the poor animals distress. So the deed was done - and they offered Danielle the antlers - bit callous I thought. Anyway Jays dad Dave came out with his van and towed them back home, and still the police never came.
So now we are on the hunt for another little car for Danielle, she didnt think it was worth claiming on her insurance, because she is under 21 she would have had to pay a 300.00 xs, and the car was worth only about 500.00. (well it was priceless to her)
So all that drama over with - we are now on Sunday and things have settled a bit. We have Emily this week-end and that is always fun. We are having sunday dinner with Jays mum and dad today - and Jay cooked a big curry last night which was lovely - so spot the one who hasn't cooked so far - I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will stop now - catch you in the week folks - keep safe!!!
