Remind me never to go on holiday again

And if I ever mention the word "ferry" ever then please take me outside and shoot me.

That's all I'm going to say on the matter (for now ). Might say more when all our bruises and scratches have gone down. Poor old ds2 looks like he's done several rounds with thorn bush. DH's shirt is blood stained. DS1 has even managed to bruise himself from hitting his chin so hard, and headbutting the car window.

where did you go?

JanH · 23/08/2004 10:33

Was this the trip to see the dear ILs, jimjams? The one you really really didn't want to go on but had to?

Blu · 23/08/2004 10:38

Oh JimJams.....
Make YOURSELF a star chart counting down the days til school starts again, and promise yourself a big treat when you get through it.

acnebride · 23/08/2004 10:48

if you think ILs will want you to do it again next year, when you get a diary for 2005, write NO HOLIDAY, NO CRY at the start of every month. hope things are on the up now.

Thomcat · 23/08/2004 12:31

oh no, so sorry to hear that. BUT wasn't last years holiday okay? Does that mean maybe that every other year will be okay? Just trying to rescue you!

Oh no! I saw the thread title, and really hoped it wasn't you. I am so sorry you had a rough time.

Hope you all settle back down into usual, home routine really quickly.

sis · 23/08/2004 19:01

Oh poo! I'm wishing and hoping good things for the family Jimjams family - obviously, they will all happen together when least expected(insert hopeful smiley).

hmb · 23/08/2004 19:11

Oh God, I am so sorry you had such an awful time.

Treat yourself to a soothing bath when you can.

Poor you. Hugs.
