Had a long weekend planned at Belvoir castle,setting of today,spent last weekend getting the Dandy packed and ready for the off..came home from work last night and managed to get a hypo (diabetic) sat in the van for a few mins then got out forgetting to put the handbrake on..yes I am a proff driver who does around 2k miles a week!...and yes of course I live on a hill! got my leg trapped under the door and the van dragged me down the road for a fair distance before stopping buried in a nieghbours cars bumper.. left a large amount of skin on the tarmac and dislocated my knee..so wave goodbye to the weekend..as I said ..muppet..wife reckonds I did it on purpose............

Ouch, hope you and the van are soon feeling better.

Not the easiest way to get out of a weekend trip....................

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Hi Alfred

Hi Alfred, sorry to hear of your plight, but I am glad that you are ok.

P.S it was the Cheviots we walked, not the Cotswolds, as GC said, it is 'Nutty Nora' the satnav that gets him confused.

Get well soon honey and dont forget that in a hypo a dextrose tablet is sometimes not what your brain telly you. As you will know brains in a hypo dont work properly. Will the OH go for that one?

Why don't you save the Sun Holiday tokens, starting Sat 19th April, you could get a cheap holiday away this year, seems a shame to not go anywhere.
