very crazy day

Well what a day we had yesterday. we finally got our last appointment through for Sams hips sao tried to get yesterday off work. eventually my boss agreed but asked i came in as soon as possible. so anyway we go off to the hospital. Sam has an x ray and they ask us to go back to the waiting room while we are sitting there the fire alarm goes off. we all think its a drill so no one moves. the staff then come and usher us out and as we go through reception you could smell the smoke. so we had to wait for ages for the firemen to come and put the fire out and we were eventually let back inside. We get seen by the specialist eventually. His hip should be at an angle below 30 and they came out at 29 so just scraped in which means we have to go back for another check up.

so i get to work and find out that ive been put down as a no show. i eventually sort that out and settle down to work. As my oh was off he was coming to pick me up. at five o'clock i get a call from my oh saying that he was stranded at alton towers! he had gone to pick up a company car for today. When he went to get Sams carseat he accidently dropped his car key and when it hit the floor it bounced and slid accross the snow and no one could find it so he could get home but had no carseat for Sam. i was like its ok i will get the bus home collect the spare key and get my frioend to take me up to towers. we pull up outside my house and would you beleive i forgot my house keys!!! there was no way to get in the house to get the car key. i phoned a few friends who i know have car seats but everyone was out so we decided that i would have to carry Sam on my lap.

anyway we made it home in one piece but still no car key. Well today they found it. it had bounced up and lodged inside the chassis of the car next door lol

so we had a slightly eventful day on the up side Sam came away with a toy duck and an alton towers teddy bear

    you need to come over to Facebook and tell everyone this story..we all on there now hence no replies to your story.
