To say that I'm having a bad day has to be an understatement!! Having cancelled the two week holiday to Italy which I had booked in an optimistic moment a few months ago, I decided that a few days in England on an organised coach tour should be possible although I knew it would be hard work. Big mistake! We set off on a 5 day trip to Morecambe (so that we could go on a couple of train trips) on Monday. That day went OK and on Tuesday had an enjoyable trip on the Settle to Carlisle line - all fine. I then decided that instead of sitting all evening in the very gloomy room we had been given(wonderful view of the fire escape, literally inches from the window) we would stay in the lounge for the entertainment. There was a comedian on who was absolutely hilarious, made me weep with laughter. I knew hubby was getting bored so decided that we should go to bed around 10.30. The next 9 hours were spent with him talking incoherentlyand constantly folding and refolding the bed cover which he said I had stolen from his daughter and his wife wouldn't be very pleased when she heard about it! Not a single wink of sleep for either of us.At 6.00am I texted all 3 children asking for one of them to try to come and pick us up (nearly 200 miles away).
The next bit of joy is that the speaker on my mobile phone "died" about three weeks ago and the replacement I got needed to be unlocked so that I could keep my number. Got this done on the local market in plenty of time for the holiday - or so I thought! Tried to put my existing sim card in and it wouldn't accept it. Took it back a week later when the stall was next there and was told that it would have to be sent away?? This was 2 days before we were going away so I refused and have been carrying round 3 mobiles!! My old one to receive texts, the new one to use as an alarm clock and hubby's old one in case I actually needed to speak to someone! I'm sure you can imagine the stress this caused when trying to arrange for a pick up -which Number 2 son did.( Twins, number 1 and number 2 sons).
We arrived home about two hours ago, I tried to ring the AS support worker- no reply. OK I'll email her and ask her to contact me. Great joy- google have changed their log in method,I can't remember my password, so can't access emails. Oh, and by the way, the fish tank appears to be leaking. Meanwhile hubby sits "reading" the phone bill and chuckling. Don't know whether to laugh or cry! And now I'd better start looking at the depleted freezer to see what I can find to cook for tea. Absolutely positive that you've all been there before but you UNDERSTAND!!
Oh yes, and I'd cancelled the papers so got no evening paper Aaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!
