Car washed and polished after spending £64 in Halfords on stuff to make it look pretty.
Route checked and printed out and ready for Sat Nav
Me all showered and pimped.
Battery flat.
[insert rude word]

And the car is reversed into a car port so cannot get the trusty mondeo anywhere near it to jump it. I did have a trickle charger and have now charged over night and it is now reading full so will take it out later.

Was very peed off, so friends invited me round for dinner to cheer me up and did have a good time but was gutted. I had even turned down three other invites for this and then couldn't go. Guess that is the problem with 22 year old car. And there didn't seem to be many Mk1's in the list.

Blimey, Kate, that is unfortunate. I take it there was no other way to get the car going? :(

Had a great night, massive thanks to Dave for organising it. Think I spent the whole night talking to various people.

Big thanks for the excellent accommodation at Hotel Toni. ;)

Weather was stonking being t-shirt weather all evening. Nice to meet everyone. :+:

Only one pic I took:

Ah shame Kate you should have rung us! I have a battery pack just for such an occasion and you're not far.

Never mind, next time!

Oh, I think I might invest in one of those. Don't want same to happen again although will always check night before from now on but still worth it for emergencies.

Can you let me know product details please?

Don't have anyone's number to let them know. I did text Dave but not sure number is up to date. Wanted to let him know I hadn't just not bothered and was not letting him down.

He went to effort of organising and might have been cross.

I even put make up on and that almost never happens!
