Yes I did type it hodilays not holidays on purpose! It’s how my best friend always says it!
Why are holidays so stressful? All the planning and preparation. Holiday was booked and paid and we were going to Tunisia on in April, then our confirmation came through and most of the bars and restaurants were going to be all closed at the hotel. Not a happy bunny... so off we traipsed to the travel agents and now we are going to Egypt. Was a nightmare trying to find a suitable holiday for the same dates. We now have to go a day later which means we’ll be travelling on Ant’s 30th which sucks for him, we wanted to be there for it.
Passports are driving me mad too, Joshua needs an English one, I need an Irish one. After finally finding someone who can sign them we got that part sorted. Paid the post office to check Joshua’s and send it for us – we should have been receiving it back at the beginning of next week but a letter arrives today telling us that we only send one photo. We bloody didn’t, so either the post office lost it after they checked it, or the passport office lost it when they opened it. Neither will take responsibility and ended up blaming the poor postman. What do they think he did, steam opened the envelope steal the signed photo and reseal it *rolls eyes* I think not!! SO now we have to go back to the guy who signed it and get another one signed and sent off. It’s all such a pain! Seriously hope this holiday will be worth it.
Today’s been a bad day! First the passport hassle, then my little man was sick everywhere twice. He won’t take his milk, and all he has eaten all day is half a yoghurt. Poorly little boy – but he keeps smiling, bless his heart. He’s the happiest baby I have ever known. Then I put the wrong house number for some photos I ordered and they have been despatched. Muppet! Good job it’s my parents next door neighbour and they can go and get them for me!
Think it’s time for hot chocolate and here’s to a better day tomorrow! xxx

*big big huggles* for you and the little man and Ant whom has to celebrate his birthday on the plane now, but at least you can go that's the main thing :) and you will have a brilliant time, and still can celebrate Ant's big number in the evening :D at the swimming pool with a nice cocktail or well beer :p
ReplyDeleteStupid passport thing tho, gosh thats so complicated for you, I'm glad it's not here :)
Fingers cross Joshua will feel better tomorrow and that tomorrow will be a better day for you all.

Aww Lu *HUGE HUG* I hope Joshua will be feeling better soon. Egypt will be fun will be a lot of traveling around depending on what you want to see with the whole family.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating you birthday on the plane is not a fun thing. Just have a big celebration once you get there with Ant and Joshua.
How could the passport office lose a picture in the mail like that? I don't try the mail so I go in person to the passport office.
Hope things will be all sorted out now for everyone and tomorrow will be a better for you.
xoxo
Thanks girls!
ReplyDeleteCarm I doubt we'll do any travelling in Egypt tbh ... not with Joshua so young! Shame we won't get to see things but we're boht looking forward to a chilled out holiday by the pool!
