Reading last weeks blog it feels like things are no further forward. In fact they are well and truly behind like you would not believe. We were actually making some progress catching up with the back log and then Wednesday night my daughter decided to crash her car - and crash it good and proper she did too. No one knows how she walked away from this, but there is one very lucky Midhurst deer out there who by standing in the middle of the road caused Katie to swerve, spin, hit a tree and roll the car several times (the deer is fine by the way - so many people have asked about it LOL). It was quite early on Wednesday evening but I still felt really ill with a UTI so had literally just gone to bed when Katie's friend who was behind her in her own car rang Jason with the message "Katie's crashed her car, it's bad, get your mum here now". The message I got was "Katie's crashed can you go and pick her up" so to arrived with all the blue lights going and to find her car on it's side was the biggest shock of my life and something no mother should have to see. I can only be grateful that she came out of it with hardly a scratch by crawling through the back window but she said there was a moment of shear panic before she realised the back window was smashed when she couldn't get out! The sight of me running around the crash scene in my PJs sure gave the Fire Crew a giggle though if nothing else.
The next day was spent rushing around getting the insurance sorted and removing belongings from the car when all of a sudden, with no warning whatsoever Rosie, our 10 year old bitch (and only one left from our first litter) just sat down and died - as quick as that which threw an already shaken up family into complete shock. So I'm sure you can understand that nothings been done around here for well over a week now and for that I can only apologise and promise everyone both with the rescue and with the Mail Order company that we are doing our best, although right now it feels like it's never going to get better and every phone call and email brings another complaint. But I am on anti biotics now and fighting fit (whatever that is LOL)
Your daughter Katie is as fine as can be expected, and amazingly unhurt, so fortunate.
ReplyDeleteRosie has slipped away with no prolonged illness or distress.
Nasty shake up all round but my thoughts are with you.
Just make sure that everyone is recovered before you return to work.
The Bullies will understand. I am sure everyone is thinking of you and with kind thoughts.
Bloomin heck! Has someone cursed you?
ReplyDeleteYou'd have no luck if you didn't have bad luck.
I love it that you're so positive and chirpy throughout everything that life has to throw at you.
Were you a bulldog in another life?
