my DS's appointments! He was assaulted earlier this year (not seriously) and was due to appear in court today as a witness. He informed me that he had to be there by 11am, so at 9.30 we were sitting enjoying a leisurely breakfast. His friend called to see if he was nearly there and she said they had to be there at 9.45. Aargh!
We jumped in the car and arrived at the court at 10am. He called me a few minutes later to say he was at the wrong court! So I drove back, picked him up, and dropped him at the other court at 10.15. He was so stressed going in, but I think he now sees the value in double checking details the day before. I hope...

Oh my! Did he arrive In time for his case to be heard? Did he have the presence of mind to answer questions relatively calmly?

lesley - how did your son get on? The defendant didn't turn up, so there is now a warrant out for her arrest. So in the end, his lateness was not a problem. And next time he will know better to check time and location beforehand! |

I do the same with my family! We all tend to get mixed up, and forget.
I hope everything went well and the suspect gets what he/she deserves for assaulting your son! How scary!

Earlier this week I thought that my dental cleaning was around lunchtime. Got to work, checked the calendar, and found it was at 8:50 am.
I should have just stayed home because the dentist is just a couple of blocks from there. I wasted gas driving to work, then backtracking so quickly.

I set the time 1/2 hour earlier for when I should be somewhere on my phone. It helps me to remember!
