Car joins fleet. All usual AS rules broken - Cookie's adventures in shiteing

We'll be at shitefest but you might have more fun...

Collection tomorrow.

Longest I've done, so far, because let's be honest, I'm bound to buy something else in the future.

Should be about 3.5 hours, two trains, two tubes, one train, lift (not the up and down building kind of lift).

I'm taking a Sat Nav, as otherwise I will never find my way home and a jump pack, just in case.

Chod speed. 

[High Jetter]

Ooh, A Saturday getaway! Pack a map, JIC?

[PicantoJon]

Chodspeed from the shadow of Snowdon

Would love too, but sadly Shitefest is in the opposite direction to the homeward journey.

[Cookiesouwest]

So

Breakfast - None, but I bought snacks for the trip (quite a lot of snacks, cause I'm fat).

Poo count- 1

Don't get your hopes up for an exciting or funny collection thread. Im no Jim Bell.

Snacks as pictured

[andyberg]

Just you or management also? If it's just you I think we expect a record poo count with that lot.

[Cookiesouwest]

So an exciting / shit scary / nervous first leg.

The chariot of choice

Mrs Cookie driving.

Now she hasn't driven in 7 months, due to being very ill and taking a lot of morphine. Which meant she had forgotten her way to the station. This caused her lots of Anxiety and me boat loads of stress.

Her Colin McCrash driving style has not got any better, after a 7 month break lol

Anyway I made it. Alive. My Mondy still in one piece.

Proof.

The public transport nightmare enjoyment starts here.

[Cookiesouwest]

So, train to Paddington was late and I have got on the wrong tube.
