I last filled up on 8th March.

Have done 210 miles in the 940. Literally jusy been going to work and back (2 miles each way).

I'm at work at the moment on nights. I have friday night to do, weekend off, then monday, tuesday, wednesday, saturday and sunday nights next week to do.

Just under quarter of a tank remaining and a max of 30 miles to do in 10 days.

I think I can manage that on my remaining fuel. Certainly not going to queue with the sheep for hours on end!

Should I feel guilty, or panic, about not panicking.?...I'm thinking I SHOULD be panicking.
I'm worried that I will end up as Billy no mates..with no-one NOT to panic with.?
...and that makes me feel quite panicky.

Now I'm confused AND panicky.!!...I think.?

I'm panicing so much its bought me out in spots!

1. Son is just about to sit his AS levels and is way to calm for my liking.
2. He's just passed his driving test - where can I get £3500 for his insurance
3. Spent 45 mins yesterday cueing for fuel because the 2 stations before that had run out, I've got to go to Bristol airport and my 1/4 of a tank wont get me there and back

I got in a PANIC on Wednesday and shouted DON'T PANIC, DON'T PANIC at a queue of muppets queueing for fuel.

Now I'm in a PANIC because I haven't got Adobe flash player 11-2 installed on my PC so I don't know whether to PANIC or not about the nuclear holocause.

Guess I'll calm down and get some Greggs comfort food, at , or above, ambient temperature of course. Wonder if there's a queue of PANIC buyers stockpiling them before VAT is put on them? I think I'm panicking again.

Pete.

More reasons to panic.........

Just so you aware there are numerous risks associated with eating pies and pasties that are the wrong temperature,so make sure the temperature of the pie is correct and well above ambient, or you may come down with severe food poisining.
