Got up at 04.50am to get to the gym before work.
Checked weather - dry.
Got on the train at 05.28am
Threw coffee down my white shirt at 05.50am
Got off train - raining fucking sideways. No coat. No brolly.
Get to work at 9am with loads of work and cancel a coffee meeting at 10am to crack on.
Fucking fire drill kicks us out for an hour at 10 on the dot.
Multiple meetings prevent me catching up on work all day. Bolt at 5pm for the train....
Fire at Hither Green. Trains totally fuckinh fucked.
Try to book an Uber. App needs updating. LB 4g non existent. Watching it. 1%. 2%. 3%. 4%.
FMFL!!!
App updates. Book Uber. Walk to meeting point.
Fucking great big lorry in front of Uber decides to park and unload. I was about to have a nervous, stress induced breakdown at this point when a man in a high vis vest came running towards the driver and basically told him to F off.
Winding through London traffic it's now after 6pm and I'm worried. But as soon as we go through the silvertown tunnel traffic parts and my Uber driver, who doesn't speak a word of English just fucking nails it all the way to Bexley to collect the car.
Eventually reach home at 19.20, finish the takeaway i picked up en route and literally sit down to put the match on with family bang on kick off.

Yesterday my job was to be the bad luck magnet.
And I caught it ALL.
And I thought I’d had a shocker of a day getting to Preston for my son’s house party. First train cancelled from Euston.
Train absolutely rammed full at 1430.
In Crewe station for 40 minutes (extra stop off because the Crewe train had also been cancelled) because some poor sod had a health issue and had to be carried off the train on a gurney.
Son going bloody mad because he’s waiting at train station for me and has guests arriving at 6pm.
But I had an easy day having read your traumas. You took one for the team there.
 
Guys, we won.

I'm still buzzing. Omgggggggggg.

So the parade starts at 5.30? Have they changed the time because I thought it was supposed to start earlier
 
Watched at home with my daughter’s BF. He’s 19 and so has never known a trophy win. Had tears in his eyes.

The match was a horrible watch. I’d forgotten what it was like to be nervous watching a game of football. Seeing the boy so happy at the end reminded me why we all started watching football.
