And now we've just been notified (at 6pm - although DH could easily have missed the email till next Sunday as we're going on holiday tomorrow morning) that the holiday scheme booked for Aug 30th for 4 days has been cancelled. Due to lack of interest. Which they would have known about 4. fucking. weeks. ago. ffs.

And it was a 'spy experience' that DS has been looking forward to for months.

I want to hurt somebody.

I agree, you're not.

Will you get your money back?

Could you find something to do that you'll be able to sell to him as Much Better than the spy experience?

Oh sorry, I mistook you for someone else.

LeBOF · 19/08/2011 23:06

Aw, that's shit. I misunderstood- I thought it was a play scheme during your holiday. Fuckers.

Can you take him to a theme park? some have carting, and paintball, he may like that enough to forget about spionage, and you will not need to book in advance.
Hugs for you

On a canal - brilliant Grin

Grippy shoes - for when you've had a glass of wine and need to walk down the outside of the boat.

Nothing that takes more than 12 mins to cook - if you do, put it in the shitty oven 3 hours before you need it.

A bloody good torch - for cleaning up the DCs sick that's managed to splatter all four walls at 2.30 am.

No probs Grin
