I got back to my car on Friday after work at the train station, to find it had a flat on the front drivers side.

Not 100% flat, so I thought I could crawl it to the closest service station [turns out no, I could not] at around 20km/h [hazards on and huge car trail behind me, single lane road, spectacular!]
I got about 30metres away from the servo when there was a BANG and I saw rubber flying.
Slowed it to around 5km/h and creeped it into the service station, got out and had a look
What made it an issue was id cleaned out my car a week or so prior and not replaced any of my tools, so I had to MacGuyver a few things to get the car jacked, I managed to find the factory jack and wheel brace, and used a random ring spanner I found under my floor mat to jack the car [hey it worked], got the wheel off, realised id never looked at my space saver in my life, in all 6 years of owning it [im surprised it was in there haha]
Space saver says max 60psi, right. Grab it and wander over to the air, which has no gauge on it at all lol, so I just put it to ‘inflate fully’ and hoped for the best :D
Put the wheel on the car, lowered it, and headed off home [all of this was so close to home!] and just crawled it, praying my ATTESSA system would not give me any trouble because of that wheel [wasn’t too bad!]
What a way to start the long weekend!!
