Probably need a slap

Have Never posted before so don’t know all the acronyms to use. But will keep it short.

Husband and I booked holiday to lovely hot 5* all inclusive for 2 weeks.
Flew out on Friday, flew back on Monday! I was feeling a bit bunged up before we went but passed it off as a cold and thought I would get over it, I didn’t, it developed into flu and then a severe chest infection so just wanted to come home. went to hospital on return home and got antibiotics, inhaler as couldn’t breathe and steroids, still not feeling great!

we did have holiday insurance but made a rookie error in that the insurance didn’t cover the country we were in, hence the want to come home. So cannot claim any money back.

anyway now feeling sorry for myself and pissed off at ….

1. being ill during holidays (teacher)
2. being ill
3. waste of money
4. stupid mistake over insurance
5. missing out for both of us on lovely holiday

Pleasers help me get some perspective

Feeling sorry for yourself and a bit pissed off seem pretty normal and proportionate. It’s fine to have a bit of a grumble. Start planning your next trip away, reminding yourselves how important it is to read the small print on the Ts&Cs. It sucks now, but it’ll fade into just another of those “couldn’t make it up”s.
