Wife & I have a trip to York tomorrow
Daughter has to go in to University, to see a Lecturer

She's got a new car, & isn't used to it yet so didn't fancy driving there..... and it's my day off.....
(wife is a co-director/owner of her company, so can work from home, or just via phone)

Thus, there may be a few additions here, dependant on what we do, whilst waiting for the "Can You Pick Me Up?" call

EDIT; Wednesday 2nd @ 19:33

Quite curiously, there's 2 branches in Barnsley
Am I wrong in thinking, they'll just assume it's a soggy Findus Crispy Pancake?
