Nataly 38 #1 November 21, 2012 OK... Not a proper disaster... I have a fancy gala to attend this evening... I thought I would fetch a gorgeous dress I have from my storage box for the occasion... As the storage box is near the airport (and about 1hr from where I live), I thought I would pick it up on my way home from London this weekend... Mistake 1 - bought too much stuff in London and couldn't pick up the dress. Mistake 2 - left it to the last minute, went to storage last night, and forgot the entry code (note this code has been in my wallet for about 2 years now, and I took it out - among other things - for my trip to London so my wallet would be less bulky). Mistake 3 - thought I had something else at home, but turns out I don't (it's also in storage)... Now have no dress at all and either have to go buy a very expensive dress I will likely never wear again, or drive 2 hours like a maniac to fetch the dress by the airport... Did I mention I'm not even sure the dress still fits??? Oh dear... What a numpty...

billeisele 130 #4 November 21, 2012 if money is an issue and shopping will take 2 hours, go to the storage unit, try on the dress there to make sure it fits, if not then hit the stores on the way home :)Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

BIGUN 1,488 #5 November 21, 2012 Bill, you do realize you tried injecting logic into a situation involving a dress in storage, driving, dress shopping, an evening gala and a female, right? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 60 #6 November 21, 2012 I feel for you, Nataly. If it was me, I'd probably be in full-tilt meltdown mode by now. I think I'd be getting a new storage unit closer to home very soon. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wink I went shopping and didn't find anything (note shops close EARLY in France). I thought I'd just suck it up and wear a more plain dress I had, so I ironed it and melted the fabric... So off to the storage place I went... Bike stalled on the highway... After trying (unsuccessfully) to hitchike for about 30 minutes and kicking the bike about 4 times, it decided to start up again The dress was so tight I couldn't breathe all night, but BOY did I look fabulous!!!
