I like to think that planning is important and therefore most of my activities are planned in advance - I don't do spur of the moment, off the cuff or spontaneous unless I'm cornered.

Today I had two events "planned" - the chap who had bought the Honda was coming to collect it and the Skoda garage were going to fit the towbar. Both were supposed to ring me to arrange exact times. When I hadn't heard anything from either by 9am I texted the car buyer and asked him when was he coming and I got a text back that he couldn't make it today but would collect it on Saturday (probably) no time given. I then phoned the Skoda garage only to learn that the parts had not arrived, wouldn't be there until next week and then were too busy to fit me in so I had to book a time for between Christmas and New Year.

What else could go wrong? Tonight the central heating stopped working and the wood burner is the only form of heating in the house.
