Anyone awake?

[Creativepotter]

Missed a flight and I’m stuck in an airport all night
feelingb horrificly stupid and angry at myself for missing it and filling my brain with self hate.

new flight for lunchtime tomrorow so waiting at the airport until then.

anyone want to chat or have ideas on how i can pass time?

Oh no 😞 how did you miss it?! Where are you off to?

can you get a book?

these things happen! Don’t be mad at yourself, how did you miss it?

some airports have those massage chairs too!

Time passing..

YouTube - living big in a tiny house, the Welsh twins, trek trendy (travel stuff)
Games - homescapes, gardenscapes, clockmaker (all apps) or clickword.org
Podcasts
Netflix or Amazon prime if you have it on your phone or any of the TV/film apps

Travelling home from Spain. The airports have been horrific and has delay after delay. Lost track of time :(

I know these things happen I just feel like such an idiot. I don’t easily forgive myself!! Thanks for the message x

Thanks for the suggestions - I’ll load them up now!

It’s been a rough day for most travelling because of the delays..! Hope you find something fun to pass the time x

Edit the photos on your phone/Have a deleting session?

Make some lists for things you've got coming up:

Listen to some podcasts?

Buy yourself something nice and sweet we're only human, we all mess up sometimes.
Worse things happen at sea as my nan used to say.

Be kinder to urself. I.once missed two train connections on same journey.

Such a crappy feeling isn’t it and so fustrating!! Breattttheeeeeee 🧘🏼‍♀️

It truly has! So many dwlays and we lost track of time ☹️

Are you alone?

What a shame @Creativepotter , I'd be the same as you, I'm definitely my own worst critic!

Still, it's done now so you have to just "park" your frustration really. When you get a chance, buy a book, a bar of chocolate and go and sniff every single perfume in the shops ☺️

Then do some people watching, that's my favourite thing ever, especially at airports. Look for the most glamorous person you can see!

Safe journey home.

Done that three times OP 😬 Not lately to be fair. I always think I ve got more time than I do and end up being late.
I would be tempted to say sod it, and pay to stay in a nearby hotel, have a shower and get good night sleep.

Sadly because of all the travel delays with the it problem today alllll hotels are booked up!!! Nearly through the night now, not long to go

its deffo a lesson for us that we didn’t know we needed and we’ll laugh about it in a week (or - month)

We had one of those lessons the other week OP. My darling spouse booked gig tickets and a hotel in London for us - Canadian band that doesn't play here much - was so excited.

We couldn't go because a dog minder was NOT booked. Absolute expensive object lesson in how not to plan right there 😭

I once missed a ferry, as the train I was on got stopped due to a broken down train in front. I panicked all the way to Dover when we finally got going. Was 18 and never been anywhere alone before, was a relief when they just transferred me to the next sailing. Then got stuck at calais in the middle of the night, fell asleep on a chair and was woken by a gun held by the gendarmerie demanding my passport. Thankfully I knew enough French to understand.

Was all good in the end though as I was going to a concert in Paris.

It'll be knackering but you'll be fine once you get home.

Don't feel bad about it. We've all done things like this. Make some to do list, plans, so you feel you've done something productive, then watch something good on Netflix. Can you download when you're abroad though (if you haven't already)? I never seem to be able to. Something about being in wrong location?

What time is your next flight?

Did similar once in India when I was backpacking. Somehow my name had a wrong letter in it on my ticket that didn't match with my passport. Wouldn't let me on unless I upgraded for something like 3x the price. So I had to wait all day in the terminal until another flight at the end of the day. There were a tiny handful of really comfy recliner seats in the terminal so I waited my turn for an hour or two and finally swooped in like a hawk when one became available and made it my own. Little victory. Otherwise, I find airport terminals great for people watching.

How are you doing? Can you get breakfast yet.

How was the night? Not long to go 😊

Our next flight is delayed until 4pm but comfort in the fact im going to be home today. Thanks for your support all
