Hi All,
6 weeks to go and counting and you gremlins are not going to stop us leaving!
Hows this for a big lap preparation everyone? Car serviced? check. However they find some seals that need replacing and it needs to go to do it. So we book it in the following week but a funny noise appears in the car so we ask them to investigate that too. Seals fixed, stones removed from petrol tank guard which was thought to be funny noise. Not that simple! back goes the car following day, turns out funny noise was a rusted universal joint and oh dear no grease nipples were done during the service and clips to hold some lines in under the car were all broken. So universal joint fixed, then the air conditioner stops working!! New pump for the air conditioner. The aging dog gets ill!! Off to the vet poor dog has a tumour so onto tablets to hep her heart work better after lots of scans and x-rays-yep the bill is mounting!!!! Up to work on the camper and put our new mattress in and oops we broke the weld on our end pole!! At this stage I begin to find it very funny and cannot stop laughing. Our new catch cry is-"well at least it happened now and not on the trip!!!" But wait there is more!! Trailer and car went off to have all the electrics done to run the fridge, power the lights and other fancy stuff!! Went to start the car a day after bringing it home-yep the car won't go flat battery, charge it up get going, leave it sitting whilst go to shops come out, car won't go. I tell you gremlins, car will go and so will we on March 23rd!!! Send us good luck-Carreen
