Little Nutter was in respite, and we had a family obligation. What we didn’t anticipate was the clocks going forward.

So we set off an hour late, having forgotten the goody bag from Betty’s, forgotten my mobile phone, forgotten fill the car with petrol (and motorway prices are 5p? a litre more expensive,) forgotten the Christening present (get the picture yet?)

And we had to leave early because we needed to collect Little Nutter from respite at 5pm.

At least everyone was pleased to see us, and our children had a good time – for a couple of hours…
