What a Day!!

So this morning, 8am, I am standing in the kitchen writing my to do list in my dressing gown, Alex is eating his breakfast in his jammies and my mobile rings. Hubby is at Manchester airport, flying to Paris at 9am and .........................wait for it..........................HE'S FORGOTTEN HIS PASSPORT ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!

So Alex and I get dressed in about 30 seconds (poor luv) jump into the car, me still with wet hair and drive to the airport- unbelievably we made it, they had left the flight open for him, he raced outside to grab the passport PHEW!!!

On the way to the airport my neighbour rings to tell me our house alarm is going off, her hubby resets it. Then she rings again, it's gone off again, her hubby resets it again. She then rings a third time and says "your day just got worse........................a magpie has fallen down your chimney and is covered in soot in your living room!!"

OH MY GOD!!! Her hubby was in a rush so had to leave the bird in the lounge. So I get home, look through the lounge window and a very black looking Magpie is sitting on the sofa (watching Tricia) ha ha made that last bit up!!!

So I go in and chuck a kagoul over it, open the window and it flew away. I thought I had got away with no damage till I saw soot marks on the ceiling and magpie doo-doo on the sofa.............................as if I haven't got enough to do. I give up!
