D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!

We've just gone out to clean the cars a bit - windows and lights.
My car wouldn't respond to the unlocker on the key fob. Then it wouldn't unlock at the actual door. Then I noticed the door was slightly open.
Shoved the door proper shut, and could then lock/unlock it (but not the central locking).
Absolutely not a click when I turn the key - it's not even trying to start.

Door not closed properly Friday night = drained battery by Sunday afternoon = car not doing anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have sent an email to my boss saying I'll be working from home, and am about to leave my mechanic a message asking if he could come and rescue me from my dippiness on Monday at some point!! Battery is old enough that it will probably be better to replace than try to recharge from totally flat...

Very silly thing to have done. Not the end of the world by any means, just very silly. D'oh, again!


But don't leave me alone in my silliness, what have you done lately that's daftly-not-good ?

There isn't too much damage done- it's just going to take my time to sort it out- plus it's hard to find time when my car can go in as I teach in different schools and need my car!

Sorry to hear this - what a nuisance for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) At least it was a relatively minor incident, with no-one hurt.
