I am sitting in traffic on the way home, and the battery light came on.....
So I think, will I get home or not? Anyway, I have 20 miles of motorway to go down, and thinking about how to pick up my son and get him home, sort dinner and all that stuff. I get to the turn off and I see my ex sitting next to me in the queue to get off the motorway. (talk about good timing!) We chat over the road and he agrees to pick my son up and take the kids home with him for dinner.
I get off the motorway, and literally the car dies on me as I manage to pull into the very first layby....about 300mtrs....
I rang my local friendly garage, who picked me up inside 15 mins...and will sort my car and deliver it back to me tomorrow....
I think it was really lucky that it didn't die on me actually on the motorway (that would have cost me...no AA cover)
So...although its gonna cost me some money, nothing like what it would have done if I had broken down on the motorway....
