What a Day
Well finally it is Saturday.......woke up at 1pm, feeling completely exhausted. It was one emotional rollercoaster of a day, which went a little like this:
5:30am- Wake up
6:00am -Load car with work and 2 models(mine and Emmas')
6:30am -Meet Emma at Hammersmith Station
7:30am -Car breaks down between Junction 7-6 on the M25
7:31am -Have nervous break down
7:32am- Play ensuing scenario through mind-can we make it?
7:33am-Call Green Flag and beg for assistance
7:45am- Call Jackie(sorry Jackie!) Jackie calls Dan who calls Irina who may possibly be driving past to rescue us
7:46am- Call Emmas boyfriend to ask if he can find us a cab in the area
7:48am- Call Martin who thinks it is a practical joke!
7:50-8:28 -Stand on M25 hard shoulder seeing who will show up first- Irina or Green Flag. Freezing cold, jumping up and down trying to stay warm, through the spray coming off the wheels of passing trucks. Remarkably laughing between profuse apologies to Emma.
8:35am -Green Flag pulls up, run up and tell him, if we don't get to Uni very soon we will fail. He remarks he has never before seen 2 people happier to see him in his whole career! He puts the mini on his truck and drives like the wind to the college.
10:05am- Unbelievably pinned up and sitting in Hadlow cafeteria eating a horrible sandwich, but never happier.
Early afternoon- Emma gets an A!
Late afternoon- I get an A-!
8:30pm- Home at last, drink Champagne, talk about my day and fall into a coma-like sleep.
My thanks to: Jackie for trying to organize our rescue, Dan for calling Irina, Irina and Martin for offering to rescue us, Green Flag for arriving within an hour and most importantly Emma, for being incedibly good humoured and laughing about a potential 40% mark.
No thanks goes to my car.
Two more weeks and we are done. I am taking the weekend off. Feels great!

All's well that ends well! I was just so happy to see you arriving in the tow truck!
Well done - for keeping your sense of humour, and well done to you and Emma for your design achievements. You deserve a break!
