hullo Ann,
dunno what car YOU have, but mines a 03 picasso, with the battery under the left hand passenger seat, with terminals under the bonnet for "boosting leads"

I had an RAC man confused, because he was under the impression that to get at the battery, he needed to remove the complete seat!

whereas he was gobsmacked to find that by releasing a couple of catches the seat swivels /tilts forward, revealing all........

An early night I expect Rose. The trouble was the bed was cold and took ages to warm up and after travelling down the motorway I could still see the lights of the lorries so my brain wouldn't relax and let me sleep. I'll live though. :-)

Welcome home, can't do things by halves can you?

Have a rest over the next couple of days whilst T gets the problems sorted ;-)

Glad you're back safely Ann, perhaps you can manage a nap this afternoon, or an early night anyway. :-)

I wish Mau!!

Unpacked, one load of washing in, about three more to come. :-D :-D

Welcome back Ann :-D so it's a day in bed then? ;-) in hibernation.... :-D

Finally got home at 2.30 am, managed 4 hours sleep and now fit for nothing.

No the flight wasn't late, in fact it landed half an hour early. Got to the car park, finally located the car (multi storey car park and quite dark so we were a bit disoriented. clicked the key fob..... nothing, tried the manual key couldn't get it to open the door for ages, then it sudddenly opened it, tried engine, battery dead flat. Managed to get the cases into the back seat. (Boot won't open either.) called out Britania, they said an hour so we walked back to the arrivals terminal (the car park is only about 3 minutes walk from there), had a coffee and informed the NCP help desk, walked back to the car and Britania arrived fairly quickly, about 40 minutes. He managed to find the manual key hole for the boot where he expeceted to find the battery, but it wasn't there, he located a charging point in the 'engine' and soon had the car started. He was extremely helpful. Of course it was raining so there was a lot of spray on the motorway from trucks but we eventually got in at 2.30.

The block paved drive we had done while away looks great but When they opened the garage door for the first time the spring went. So so far this morning we have had to phone the garage door people, try and transfer money from M&S (T has been waiting in a queue for the second time for 15 minutes), phone the hairdresser as she'd left a message on the answer phone, and change the appointment that was for Thursday to Wednesday. Phone our handy windows man and arrange for him to do the lounge to conservatory doors.

Is it bed time yet? :-(
