I hate ATM's!!!

So, im off on holiday and decided to go upto my old haunting ground of Peterhead, woke up at 8 am as planned (that was a battle in itself i can tell ya), did all the usual stuff and went and caught the bus at 10.35, got through to Stirling at 11, the train i was meant to catch was at 11.09, so i went into the train station, went to the atm to get some money out for my ticket and food and what not, AND the damned thing swallowed my card. I was gutted, phoned nicola, so she came through, tried the atm, and the damned thing went and swallowed her card as well, NOT amused. So we went back through to Denny, she got money out of her account and gave me some money for my train ticket (my branch is still up in Peterhead and as such needed to get there before it closed as it wont open again till monday). Got on the train at 13.09 quite releived that i would make it with some time to spare, got to Perth and there was a 20 minute delay as some guy had crashed into the bridge that the train has to go over (they needed to check the structural stability). Eventually got into Aberdeen at 15.30 and ran to the bus station (which is thankfully next to the train station) to catch the bus. Thankfully there was one waiting there. Thought that was the end of my problems and would catch the bank with sometime to spare (HA!!). Got into Peterhead at 16.45, what time did my bank close??? 16.45, i didnt know whether to laugh or cry...

Anyways thankfully (there is something happy in this tale) my aunt gave me a shot of money till monday so im still able to enjoy myself!!

In other news Ciaran is now a healthy 11lb 8oz, eating like a horse and is still absolutely gorgeous. Gives everyone big cheesy grins and blethers all day as only babies can, and more or less sleeps all night. Somehow i think ive hit lucky with the wee man. Will hopefully get some more piccies up of him..
