If it can go wrong – it will!
I awoke this morning with
renewed vigour, and decided that this would be a good week. I had a
particularly hectic day at work and looked forward to getting it
over with. But no sooner had I stepped into the car than I heard a
dragging sound, rather like I had run over an old metal dustbin. As
I hadn't made it out of the car park, I stopped to investigate.
The entire back bumper was just hanging down and as I walked up to
it, the whole thing crashed to the ground. I could not believe it.
I tried to pick it up to put it in my car, but it wouldn't fit,
then my friend offered to get it in her people carrier, but we
couldn't get the doors to close! For goodness sake, it was like
an episode of Laurel and Hardy with my friend and I staggering all
over the car park, looking for a place to hide it so it
wouldn't get nicked before Pete could pick it up later in his
truck.
Having got through this delay, I had to now had only 30 minutes to
speed round the supermarket getting the food shop done before
haring it down to the school to pick up the kids. Optimistically, I
tried to put the glitch behind me and head home, convinced one
little blip wouldn't spoil my good week prophesy. My optimism
was short-lived! As soon as I got on the A1, I hit non-moving
traffic; it had shut due to an accident ten minutes earlier. All
positivity slowly evaporated as I sat in the non-moving lane for an
hour and a half, enduring all the beeps and people gesticulating
and mouthing the words "Did you know you've lost your back
bumper?" I'm beginning to think it's not the Chinese
rug, it's me. I am forever jinxed. I can't wait to see what
disasters tomorrow brings...
