Unluckiest holiday ever

We go up to Scotland every year for a holiday. Always a different part and always love it. This year we’ve enjoyed the break but lots of things went wrong. To start off, our youngest dd’s suitcase didn’t make it to the car and we didn’t realise until we were unpacking. Cue a trip to Asda to get her a new wardrobe. The weather was pretty wet most of the time. I broke my favourite sunglasses. Half my make up bag contents fell down the toilet. We witnessed a car crash. Dd got a tick embedded in her neck. Driving home, the car had a warning sign saying to stop immediately, DH was sure it would be ok as done it before. We made it back but basically the engine had run out of oil. We joked that we picked up some cursed stones by a loch do DH has gone out to get rid of them! Anyone else had an unlucky holiday?

Yep, DH admitted to hospital unwell, nearly didn’t get a fit to fly home, at home multiple hospital visit a week, two admission including an operation. We’re now 11 weeks later and waiting his next operation until then he has to just rest all the time. First 10 days of the holiday were amazing. It was just the end which went wrong!

Oh dear op.
You need a holiday to recover from the holiday. Although ignoring a warning light was perhaps tempting fate.

we went to cornwall once.Lets see my eldest was about 7 we took her cousin with us we left at 6 am and got there about 5 pm.I soon learnt what it meant to have two children a whole day of stuff like stop touching me .When we got there we had to pitch a large family tent in the rain.It continued to rain through a 10 day holiday whilst the rest of the uk was hot sunny.

The car broke down a few days in so we had to get that repaired thankfully site had stuff to do but yeah.I also for some bizarre reason my period decided instead of the usual week to last 10 days for no reason >.> .We had fun but its funny what can go wrong
