On Saturday we went to Manda and Daves wedding, however the fun started a long time before that, are you sitting comftably? then we will begin,
on wednesday i put my lil [ka](http://skippy.org.uk/mot/) in for two new tyres, and the removal of the wheel locking nuts (they had broken the key), got the ka back, and all was good, on friday brought the ka, and my mum to London, left the ka out side [loupie’s](http://loupie.co.uk) and took mum up to camdon, and then back towards paddington, so she could go home, met Loupie from her school, and went back to hers, packed the ka and left for the long drive to Manchester, the Ka had other ideas, three long London rush hour miles latter, came to a stop, with steam drifting out of my engin, pulled over to find a cold radator (not a good sign) and a hot engin, which was “rattaling” (fule is being ignighted before the sparkplug fires, due to compresion ignition)
so after spending £80 on joining [greenflag](http://www.greenflag.co.uk/) i had my car towed back to loupie’s for “free” (I have 10 miles of free recovery, unlimited times*)
so after franticly phoning Emily who we met at [Manda and daves engagement party](http://skippy.org.uk/engagment/) asking for her to see if she could find a way for us to get north of manchester, we re-packed down to an amount we can carry, and ran for a train, to crash on Hannah’s floor.
As it turns out Emily and Dave ended up draging us up the moterway to Carlisle, (thanks again!)
Got to the wedding on time, Dave looked very hansom, and when manda did turn up (not before wanting to beat the hair dressers shop to a pile of rubble) she looked absalutly stunning! a wonderfull Anglican church service, and off to the breakfeast, at the [Crown Hotel](http://www.crownhotelwetheral.co.uk/), for food, and the reception,
as i am writing this, its now monday morning, and Loupie and I are back at hers, and just about to look at sorting the car out, (another £100 / £150 pounds :S). and Manda and Dave will be on there way to Mauritius for their Hunnymoon.
I have put some photos up [here](http://skippy.org.uk/lazy-index.php?file=2006-10-20%20-%20Manda%20and%20Daves%20Wedding/) but i will sort out the rest when i get back to Swindon, in the mean time,

[…] As pointed out in the previous post my lil Ford Ka broke down, and died (it did, died of a broken heater solenoid, it did) which is a known problem. and can be resolved a lot quicker than mine was! […]
