Oh bluddy bluddy hell, my stupid bank card is broken....4 to 6 working days for a new one - I'm going on holiday on wednesday!!

A bluddy camping holiday at that....an adventure assault course one. Have no clue how much money I'll need and dont want to be lugging loads of money around - abseiling and canoing and all that, the chances are I'll want to sneak home in an emergency escape taxi. And going straight from there to a family do in canterbury after....so many trains and taxis and food arrangements and emergencies to cover.

I know its not the biggest deal in the world but I am SOOOO BLUDDY FRUSTRATED!!!!! Mad


And breathe....oooh I needed that rant thanks! Laugh

we went on hollibobs and had one of them key swipey thingy's for our room...i had it in me bag next to me phone....got back to the chalet completely shitfaced..and the key wouldn't work..

i stood for ages trying to sort it...then staggered over to the reception and blubbed 'my keeeyshhhh won't work'...

they had to reset it...something to do with mobile's and swipey things don't mix...

was a waste of time them fixing it anyways...i fell over on the way back and slept on the grass instead...

Its right out in the sticks I'm going heartache....and I wont have a car to pop off in either.

Ooooh its just such a pain in the arse. What I am doing after is all a bit vague too. We finish there on sunday but there is a party in kent we are invited to, and dont know if staying the night there or getting a lift back same night....just means I have to take money out for every possible scenario.

HaAHaHa its probably not that big a deal to anyone else but its got me all stressed and cross! Crazy

Its an adventure assault course activity week! Eeker I'll be happy just to make it home alive!!!

Just me and my 12 yr old going.....I thought it would be a good 'mother son bonding' experience. Turns out we are both dreading it! Laugh
And we've never even put our tent up alone before....this could all go so horribly wrong.

I have the BEST ideas me! Laugh Laugh Laugh

Cags you should have seen me....I was soooo calm. He came down sobbing and freaking out cos he KNEW he'd ****ed up big time and I was dead calm and quiet - I didnt dare lose my rag cos I would have REALLY lost it. I'd bluddy told and told and told him - arrogant berk thought he knew better. In the end I just took it off him and said 'Say goodbye to your birthday present, maybe you'll be responsible enough to get it back next birthday'

And the school can **** off and all....its EXACTLY what I said would happen - they want him to have one so badly, they can pay for repairs!

This is why the only PC/laptops my lot will ever get are the ones they pay for themselves Thumbs Up

You did well. He only had it a few weeks too. Tell him if he wants it back he'll have to pay for repairs. Get him to do all sorts round the house for extra pocket money Big Grin
