Mmmmmm, weekend...
On Weds, we planned to leave the workshop between 12 and 2pm, to get up to Burnley in good time.
Things happened.
We finally left London at 8pm. EIGHT.
Which meant we got to Burnley at just gone midnight.
Up again at 6, to get to Halifax...to find out that our expected delivery days of next Tues and Weds, would now be Weds and Fri. Which meant we had to rearrange our return trip to run Tues-Sat.
And when we got to site, back in Burnley, we found out that the delivery waiting there had forgotten half the stuff...so A had to drive back to Halifax in our van to fetch THAT.
Meanwhile, driver-who-forgot-half-the-load burst the hydraulics on one of his outriggers, decided to try and drive off, grounded out on the road, got stuck across a busy junction...and I spent the next hour directing traffic and pedestrians. Whilst driver sat in his cab having a smoke and reading The Sun.
All this combined meant I got sunburn (In Burnley! Surely that should be impossible??), we didn't start work until lunchtime. We had to put the pull test off until today, and we didn't leave the site until 1930.
Which meant I finally got home at midnight.
Woke up at half seven this morning and happily lazed around in bed!! Then went to Osteo, who couldn't believe how set up my back was. And she happily sorted me out - or got a good way to sorting me. Might need to go back. I was so tense everything from my arse to the top of my head was like concrete.
And because the blasters cant deliver until Weds, I don't have to use my bank holiday Monday to head back up there :) Four day weekend!!!
And then I'll be up there from Tues-Saturday. On Sat my Dad and stepmum are coming to stay, so they may get to mine before I do, and Jojo will take care of them. They stay 'til Mon, and we go to Dundee on Weds! Yay!
