I don't know if it's luck (or UN-luck) or fucking karma or what but fucked up 'things' seem to happen to me a lot more than they do to other people!

We were meant to fly to London this morning and on to Toronto this afternoon. I'm still sitting in the 'aubergine' hotel though. Tuesday was meant to be G's last day at work. As I drive a company car, it got handed back Tuesday AM (still with the damage from hitting the Porche as it was due to be fixed Wednesday!). Not an hour later someone called G from immigration saying that if we flew on Thursday, G and E would be turned around at the Canadian border and sent back!

Long story short, an immigration lawyer working for G's firm on the Canadian side is going to get the sack and we're stuck here AGAIN until a new set of forms comes back!

I just want to go home now! 5 times I have made solid plans to party and see people only to have to say, 'sorry, we got held up. be home soon...'. My dad even took a week off of work because he thought we'd be home tomorrow. :(

Anyway, I negotiated with G's company and got more money for our stay here and a rental car. Then I negoated with the hotel for free room service as we'll have been here a month at least.

I got the rental car yesterday. I had the cost pre-approved by G's company but didn't get approval for £12 insurance without excess so decided to leave it until I could get the approval today.

I then drove to Sainsbury's. I got a parking ticket because my ticket blew upside down. The traffic cop guy said that I had reason to appeal it. Still, why me?

This morning a guy named Nicholas rear ended me. And not in the fun way. Didn't even have the car 24 hours. Mother fucker. He was hot though so I wasn't so unhappy when G made me call him tonight to get his insurance details etc. He asked me to call him again tomorrow so get a few details he didn't have with him at the time. G was writing down the details I was getting from Nicholas and commented after I hung up that I 'handled that call very well'. Really I just blatently flirted;)
