Everything booked and ready to go

Finally post arrived today from BGT for M...And it does indeed have 9am as the time he has to be there for on monday...However it doesn't say an approx finish time <sigh> ...Did a search and one of the options was 20 hotels near the SECC...So i looked them up and most of them are full up...Either that or only 1 room left or ridiculous prices...The one that looks posh only had 1 twin room left which is just as well as it is reduced to £99 a night from £139...Now that does include brekkie...Another that did have 2 suitable rooms available is £79 a night with NO brekkie included...I found another and phoned them as i came across problems with the booking online...That also gave me the opportunity to ask them how far from train station and how far from SECC...So it's around 10 mins walk from the SECC and 15-20 mins from train station...I could have booked direct with him but it cost £10 more a night...He said that the website i was trying to use did take debit cards so i punched it all in whilst on phone and it worked :o) ...So next go and book the train...Oh crikey that's fun NOT...I went to the train station as i always find trying to book a train online a nightmare...£49 the guy at train station said...I was like no chance...He said well give me specific times to get it cheaper...I said i wanted the times for around lunchtime on sunday and for mid evening on monday...If he wasn't going to tell me the actual time then how am i supposed to book specific time...Eventually he said what the times were and punched them in and said it will be £40 for two tickets...I told him but i need three tickets...Well because there's 3 of us then you get friends rates and i was £41 in total for the 3 tickets...He tried to emphasise we must travel together...Told him barring any accidents then we will be travelling together and if there is an accident we won't be travelling at all...I haven't told the boys we have to bus it to Dundee yet though...Yes there is engineering works on the line between Abdn and Dundee on sunday...Flipping typical they ALWAYS have flipping engineering works on that bit of the line...And that will be so much fun having to go down steep narrow steps to find the right train...M panicked today when he read the letter...It said that him and whoever was with him last time MUST have hair the same and wear the same outfit...He looked at me and if looks could kill...My hair was long and straggly and a pigging mess then...And now it's chopped short again...Plus i ain't got a clue what i wore last time...But as i told him that's alright because i wasn't filmed last time...That would apply to groups and acts that have more than one person in them...Panic over LOL...But he is panicking about his singing...He doesn't feel he can do whole song without a backing track :o(  Last time they had to sing 1 verse and 1 chorus only...So now am worried as well...Maybe i should phone the local radio station tomorrow and see if they can get do one at short notice and take it with us just in case he can be allowed to use one?????

So much for car going to get MOT done...Well it did but i didn't take it round....Went to try and drive boys to club last night and damned thing wouldn't start...I decided not to phone the wonderful AA because it was going to the garage this morning anyway...Plus i am not really fit to take it for a long enough drive to charge it up properly...So went round this morning and left the keys with nice garage man...It will be flat because it's not been used, except for the twice last weekend, since christmas eve and it sits on the street...I hear them jump starting it LOL...And i didn't get a call so am presuming some work needed doing...They'll just have done it and then tell me the damages...He's really good as he won't put in expensive parts to anyone unless they specifically request them...He'll try and get 2nd hand or reconditioned...And if it was major fail then he'd contact you before they go ahead and make the repairs so it can pass...Basically if it ain't worth fixing then he won't bother...Or it could have come back passed as they were closing and i'll get a call in the morning...MOT, road tax next week and £141 not counting food and drink for the audition, £8 for barbers as well...Am gonna be brassic again...Barbers will be tomorrow...His clothes are clean and just need ironed...I am scared to wash or have the jacket dry cleaned in case it shrinks...This wearing same stuff is restricting but i suppose they know what they are doing...M is singing that Take That song tomorrow night at the school Burns Night...I know it's not Burns and it's not Scottish but they had some of the ones who are good at singing as entertainment last year regardless of what they sang...Good praccy for mon LOL...I will try and record it

Iwas violently ill last night and can hardly eat or drink today...Which has meant no painkillers...And boy do i know it :o(  My physio appointment has been changed to 4th feb in the morning.
