AAAARRRGGGH!!!
The mighty pigeon of fate has crapped on us once again.
A short distance into our journey to Christchurch the clutch cable on the car went AGAIN!!! This is ridiculous - we are (somehow!) going to have to get some money together and get another car, this can't go on.
Anyway, Tim phoned the AA who said they'd be about an hour so me an the kids opted to walk home (took about 25 minutes) as I didn't want them hanging around a busy road. Tim stayed behind to wait, gibbering incomprehensibly with rage.
I'm currently waiting to hear from him - I think he's being towed to his mums so the car can be looked at there.
Gorgeous day out all round *rolls eyes*
Edited later: Well, Tim is back and the car is round his mum's waiting for his dad to look at it. He's calmed down a bit now which is a relief! When it broke down I really thought he was going to have a Basil Fawlty moment and start thrashing the living daylights out of it! *laughs* Not entirely sure how he's going to get to work on Thursday .... not worked that one out yet ...
