Tonight we have a guest blogger.....

The story that follows had to be told by DH as I couldn't do it justice - also I laughed so much it hurt and I cried!!!
Over to you DH:
This morning I went to the newsagent to get the paper before going to the Cheltenham Festival (horse racing).  I parked the car outside in a designated parking space and went into the shop.  I was in a bit longer than expected but not long enough to compltely lose my mind, you would think!  When I came out I pressed the button on the key ring and heard the familar click and vaguely registered the indicators flash, I continued walking towards the car and got in.  Whilst walking to the car I could swear that the car next to mine had flashed its headlamps when I pressed the key.  So when I got in the car, not concentrating on my surroundings, I pressed the key again and low and behold the car next to the one I was in responded.  I have always thought that my key must work with another car in the world, they can't all be unique, and likewise other keys would work with my car, finally I had proof, perhaps?  I swung my legs into the car and looked in the wing mirror, and saw an airfreshener and a novelty pair of boxing gloves hung around the wing mirror, neither of which were in the car when I got out a couple of minutes previously, and guess what, the whole dashboard was also completely different to the one I left in my car earlier.  I am sure had I looked further none of CDs etc would have been found, was I in some set up TV show?  But fortunately comon sense kicked in, I focused back on the car to the right of the one I was sat in and pressed the key again, the car to my right, like an exicted dog flased in response, to my horror I realised I was sat in the wrong car.  I quickly got out and went to my car, I even think the guy whose car it was looked at directly at me but couldn't beleive I got out of his car becuase he simply stopped and chatted to a chap stood by the shop.  Old age is a wonderful thing, I can't wait for the incontinence and dribbling.



Update on DD tomorrow! Keep those vibes coming, and thank you x

I've had that happen too -- except I didn't actually get in the car, just kept wondering why my key wasn't working. Do you drive a silver car of a popular make/model? They are everywhere... 50+ to a lot.

Batty, how did you know?? Hee hee. It is a Ford, and a very popular silvery greeny colour. It can be difficult to find in a busy car park. This never happened when we had a bright green VW polo lol

Ha ha that's so funny, I can imagine me doing that.
I have been known to lose my car and have had to use the flashing of the headlights to direct me to the poor car.
