Sounds very familiar! When Nr. 1 was born I set off after not having slept for 36 hours (or was it 48?) to buy some baby clothes. Was in a bit of a daze and lost the back end going out of a junction and just caught it in time to avoid the oncoming traffic.
No sleep and your mind on something else - not a good combination!

glad mum and the wee man are safely home especially as the snows back
I wanted to move to Inverness last year ( pretty mad seeing as I have never been further north than the lake district )
found a lovely house near culloden moor ,
kinda got the idea the wife wasnt keen when she deleted the house advert from my favourites list
edit the house is still for sale , maybe I will try again with the wife

Here's a better pic of the wee man:
Rory Carr - as in Rory the Racing Car. Hope he doesn't get too much stick about that in later life.

Yup - I was a little distracted at the time - funny we should have done almost the exact same thing!

I lived on a farm out by Culloden when I was a kid - lovely place - lots of neolithic stuff and some good rallies go through there too which I can still remember as a kid. I love it up here, I should have made this move years ago and cant recommend it enough. House like that is going to crucify you on council tax and energy bills though. I have a 5 bedroom double garage place and it costs the earth.

And is it just me, or does wee Rory look like hes got one hand on top of the wheel, and one had shooting for the shift?

That's less than I'd have thought. I pay £1k p.a. on a unit the size of most houses. No windows or bedrooms or garden, but space for 14 cars.
