My new job. i had ten days to go before starting my new job and the journey had seemed to be quite straightforward when Billy, my husband. drove me to find it, so I decided to drive to work and being such a good hearted chap. Billy sat in the passenger seat and i set up my sat nav aka Stewie (from family guy).  We were chatting away and the journey was running smoothly Stewie was doing a great job and we were just approaching the last roundabout leading to the place of work when Stewie froze and didn't tell me which exit i needed. Being afraid of roundabouts I panicked but Billy talked me through it and we found the workplace,  I, however. was in a bit of a bad shape because the hiccup at the roundabout had unnerved me.  We set Stewie to take us home but he was having none of it so Billy drove home.

The next day we decided to go again, unfortunately. when we reached the roundabout area, there was no roundabout. just road works, apparantly the tram is going through here and the traffic is diverted. stewie was useless and again Billy drove home.  Five times i tried to drive to work and five times the journey went wrong.  The last time I went was with my son, Josh, never again. ever.  I was in the wrong lane when we reached the area where the roundabout should have been. consequently i went up the hill inside of being in the outside lane, the hill led me to the town centre, Stewie was dead and I hadn't a clue so just followed the road.  Big mistake. the road led straight into the bus depot.  I was bordering on the hysterical buses in front and a bus behind me.  Josh was worried about me but patiently guided me back to the main road.  He then said he would guide me home but first we had to stop at a sweet shop so he could feed me chocolate and calm me down. 

We ate the chocolate and Josh promised to get me home without using any roundabouts or motorways.  He was great, this son of mine only needs to go somewhere once and he can find the place again blindfolded.  I followed his directions faithfully and we chatted which helped my nerves until at the traffic lights, he told me we need to turn left here. and the following  hilarious exchange took place.

Josh, "i said to her ok we need to turn left, we indicate, get in lane as the lights change mum says look its no right turn, i sed yeah its ok we are turning left, mum says we cant turn right and speeds straight on, LEFT woman, I said go LEFT! classic response, "oh right" lol i havent laughed so much in days eventually we did turn right, however i will never forget - 'go left, its no right turn, go left, its no right turn".  zoom she drove straight on! never a dull moment
