Er -yes!

Saw in the New Year with a cup of tea -went to bed at 12-02 -up at 3-45 with terrible stomach cramps and was ill for several days (lost a bit of weight though which is a positive!)

Yesterday - ready to leave for the highlight of the week (ie weekly shopping) car with flat battery - jump started then ended up having to be rescued in town as the car wouldn't start again. Whatever I did seeemd to be a step backwards. Ending the day with husband telling me he'd forgotten that we'd have people for lunch today.

Have been in the kitchen from 8am till 4pm -lunch for 12 including one veggie. Have had enough...roll on 2013!

Your run of bad luck should be over though -here in Italy they say that bad news always comes in threes...

And the fourth bit of bad luck is number one in the next set of three.
Flashy and Dianne....I don't know who brought your new year in, but you know next year not to let them do it again.
I hope the luck bucks up for both of you very soon,

Good job the cruise was cancelled, that should go a way towards the bill.

Seriously, what a bummer.

See Shaz, there is always someone who has worse luck.
Two kinds of luck....Bad luck(shaz) and NO luck (Cashy).
Seriously Cashy, sorry to hear about all your rotten luck...hope things buck up for you soon.
