The Keys of Misfortune

Well we all set of for Morzine on Friday night. The whole family, thought it would be nice, spend the weekend in France. Siew Ling has not seen the chalet for a while and there have been a few changes since.
One minor problem before we left. I have mislaid the key to my chalet! Yes the most important key in my life at the moment and I cant remember what I did with it!
OK I thought I gave Rob a key maybe he left that spare key in his chalet or if not I can get in through the garage. Fine so off we go. As we got to the Swiss border on the pas de Morgins the snow was falling and there was about an inch on the road. The car is rubbish in the snow and I realized I had no chains and what the swiss call summer tyres on the car. Crawling up to hill to the border the traction control is flashing and the back end is weaving. Not a good sign with the col du Corbier to come! So I took the longer way and went down the valley then back up the Morzine valley rather than take the pass over the mountains. Great we got to Robs chalet at about 10:30 ish and I discover the key I have for Robs front door does not fit! Well it fits it just will not turn. Its like its the wrong key. I was slightly annoyed. Phone calls to Rob who was very helpful but still could not get in the door. So with mobile phones going dead on me the snow falling, the temperature dropping from -4 downwards and both kids now awake moaning at how late it is, we admit defeat.
OK stay at a hotel and try again in the morning? try what again?
Bum.
So to save what was left of the weekend we drove 4 hours back to Zurich! 3 am we got back and I still cant find my keys!

Too good to true

Well thats typical, apparently I dont have 17000 euros left, in fact I need another 5000 to pay off the last invoice. Great. I spent the last few days trying to work out how to spend the money and what would order to do things in.

Bugger.

I still have to go over my figures to see where I went wrong but the bank says there is only 2500 left and an invoice of 7500 to pay.

Oh well.
