If ya don't laugh ya cry right?

I've spent the last 20 minutes or so with my head in my hands laughing about this because if I don't I'll cry.

I went and accidently broke my parents washing machine whilst trying to get all my stuff clean before packing it in my suitcases. It was only fixed last Sunday . They sure aint happy. Bless mum though she hand washed every single one of my clothes for me and hung em out on the line. Of course she says "Don't expect your MIL to do this for you though!"

Oh the odd things that happen at the last minute.

All I need now is to lose something and I'm all set.

Anybody else have odd/frustrating things happen a few days before leaving for the US?

Yeah....Wes has loads of difficulty collecting his last paycheck before leaving. He knew his brother was going to be of no help in getting the money to him after his departure and wanted to collect it himself. His employer was baffled.

It wasn't right before I came over, but my house flooded.....set us back a few months . Missed our 2nd choice for a wedding day. Got everything sorted out ..needed replastering and all sorts. Went on the market after I got here and sold in a couple of weeks , but boy I was past laughing So many little things went wrong that I wouldn't tell anyone the date I was thinking of coming over , didn't want to jinx myself !! Didn't even tel hubbub , just said vaguely..."before Christmas "..All came good in the end

Night before my hubby left to move over here his Mum fell down the back steps and broke her leg and they weren't able to travel over for the wedding. In fact, she just got travel clearance a couple of months ago and so they didn't make it here to visit until well past our first anniversary

hubby almost missed his flight because he thought it left the next day (flights from Lima usually leave at about 12:05 am, he thought it left at 12:05 pm). When he realized it left that very same day at night, he had only a few hours to pack up his entire life and get to the airport. He ended up having to toss many boxes of books because they were too heavy for the baggage allowance.
