Well could we have picked a worse time to fly?? We are supposed to fly out to my mum tomorrow to collect Ross, I sooooooooooo hope all is ok with the flights.
If for whatever reason the flight is cancelled how do you explain to a four year old that mummy & daddy can't come to get him after all? Especially considering he's so excited about seeing us (and I have to admit I am equally excited about seeing him!).
I guess this will be the last post for a while as I sooooooo don't intend to be on the PC much from Scotland. Not only is the PC over there an antique.... but honestly I have better ways to spend my days in Scotland! So hopefully here is to two weeks of reasonable weather and some fun and relaxation. back in a bit.

Ah crap....
Why is it that something always goes wrong just before vacation??
1. At the weekend my mum THOUGHT she had her bag stolen..... she calls to let me know, knowing that she had a credit card in my name in the bag (which had to be cancelled from my French account), and the Credit Card statement for my british account, which meant I had to cancel my British card too!
The reason she had both is that she takes the money out of my French account (using French card) to pay my English account (who don't get the whole international banking thing, and have gone security nuts in the last couple of years!). Luckily she had not taken the cash out to actually pay the account yet!
Well of course two hours later she finds the bag, cards, statement and all buried under some linen in her caravan!! Of course by this time everything is cancelled, new statements are ordered etc.... oh and a late charge will of course be added to my UK account for late payment of the bill!!
2. Hubby gets his pay check and finds out he is down 250euros because of his last illness!
3. The tax department has "lost" our last payment for after school care, so now we have two months to pay in one go, and a check to cancel at our own cost.
What the Hell else can go wrong in the next 10 days?? I know I should not ask as something surely will! Wish me Luck!
