well i might be, i am open to that.....

but really, this means we will not be getting a family holiday together. Sad we never go abroad cos of the dog, we only ever book a cottage away in this country anyway.....but still. its a break and a break is good as a rest as they say....

wayyyyy back, last year, we had an email notification that we couldnt book any annual leave between the months of July and September, due to the olympics.

i looked on our online holiday system to see if i could get the June half term week, and i could, so i booked it.

now this is the crucial bit....i told dh at the time. i told him about not being able to book hols, and told him i had booked the half term week in June.

then i forgot about it. have very busy life and very busy job and im not used to this full time shift working lark anyway - i dont know what day it is half the time. (seriously....i really dont!)

So DH holiday chart went up at the beginning of January. He told me he had booked 2 weeks in August. i muttered and said ok because i wasnt really listening.....

today i asked him if he had booked the June week. He said "no, i told you ive booked 2 weeks in August" and to be fair he did. and i didnt realise.

it will now be too late for him to get the June week.
i am a bit Angry and it means we wont get away, not that i had booked anything yet anyway, and looking at our finances, its quite unlikely that we will afford a family get away this year anyway....but DS starts uni in September, this may well be the last time we got away together as a family.
so im torn between being cross and sad.
or am i meant to remember everything all the bloody time....?

Oh no - not apportioning blame to anyone (it;s just one of those bastard things) but how bloody disappointing.

Has he asked to swap to the June week? Surely August will be more popular than June. All may not be lost.

he says he will try....not holding out much hope though.

If you guys didn't write it down and it was last year, even if it was late last year, people forget.

No need to get angry at anybody. Just one those mistakes that happen.
