Help me feel less shit please

[nhsmanagersanonymous]

Two weeks ago we booked flights to see our child and family in Ireland
Ten days ago I realised my passport was out of date
not to worry - not needed for Ireland. I did almost apply to renew anyway but didn’t think there was quite enough time for it to be back and if it came whilst we are away that would be a pain.
BUT our flights are with Ryanair and two hours ago we realised they do insist on a passport even for destinations where you don’t need it!

so I had a proper panic attack, travel anxiety is always a problem anyway and this is awful - but managed thankfully to book and check in to aer lingus flight departing 3 hours after rest of fam. Need to book home but that’s ok. So it’s all ok but I feel ghastly. So stupid. So inadequate. Such a let down.

please tell me others have done this. Am furious with myself.

We booked a train for a holiday, i managed to book the return at totally the wrong time, changed the tickets at a cost. Holiday was then cancelled so had to change tickets again, managed to forget to change date on the app just did the times 😳tried to change again and computer said no so had to buy whole new tickets, return ticket cost again to change date / time. Felt sick at the total cost i wasted through sheer incompetence.

Yes it’s so annoying! I’m normally ultra careful. And are lingus wouldn’t be a problem (thankfully)
