6 hours travelling from London... 1 hour on the tube and 5 hours by coach... had we got off in Manchester, we'd have not got home until 4:30pm

but by getting off one stop earlier in advance, we were home by 1:30pm
Reason? if we'd gone to Manchester, we'd have missed the 2pm train by 5 minutes (roadworks on the way to Manchester if we'd have gone by coach as it's approx 40 minutes otherwise and besides, our coach was already 40 minutes late... it's all maths and timing and I knew what was best - despite being absolutely well and truly tired........!)
Had to get up at 5:30am and pack too........... so yeah, spent the afternoon exhausted...
Still tired now, but.. heck, an early night in my own bed will cure everything.. I hope..
