mumof4 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 That i get sat nav as yesterday was way too much. Went to lincoln yesterday to look at a school...left home at half 9 in the morn and finally reached there at just before 3pm for a half 2 appointment.Got a bit lost at Sleaford. Coming back..was sooo much worse...Left there about half 3 and finally reached home at just before quarter past 10 last night after seeing the delights that Kings Lynn has..also Norwich....the M25....Terminal 2 at Heathrow.....amongst a variety of other places like wisbech and spalding....left my atlas at home..oops!! I'd like to say thanks to those that text me directions and also those that emailed me routes before i left...Phone died on me so i was foobed till i got home.. believe me when i say that even though i dont mind getting a bit lost...ending up at Heathrow and trying to get out was a bloody nightmare..kids thought it was great though!!..(for a while)....one comment my eldest came out with when my son said what game he was going to play when we got home.....was "if mummy ever finds her way home!"...... :lol: Quote
mumof4 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 ooohh..for those interested in stats..i covered 503.2 miles .... left with an absolutley you wont get a drop more in fuel tank,,,still have just under a quarter left and according to the dash..i averaged 41.2mpg which i thought was good seeing as soon as my foot went numb i whacked it on cruise control...fingers crossed i didnt get flashed by any of the umpteen cameras i didnt see in the dark but saw their markings on the road. :lol: Quote

Guest bigal Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Oh my god how can someone get that lost, an extra 180 miles if what steve is saying is true. I knew i should have got you that pink satnav from Argos at xmas. :lol: Glad you got back safe though Maz. You gonna get the satnav before the Kart meet? If i were you i would buy a London bus and do Magical Mystery Tours, only they would be with a twist, as even the driver doesnt know where she is going. LMAO Quote
