A Week of Peace!?!?
Or: Never let my mother loose with the children!!
After trying to book a holiday for the beginning of the holidays without any success my mother managed to book 9 days in spain flying out this morning.
So we spend all day yesterday running round shops in a panic because one of the boys needs trainers and another needs shorts and as usual everything is left to the last minute!!
Eventually I leave my mother frantically washing, packing and booking cars and look forward to a nice quiet week with just the two of us doing things we never get a chance to do.
Hah! I get a call this morning saying that at the airport they were put into the wrong queue and missed their flight. They were put on standby and she would keep us informed. Eventually my father and the eldest small boy got put onto a flight with my mother and youngest small boy still waiting. Two hours later they were put on a flight and i was asked to try and get a message to my father to let him know what was going on............ BA were absolutely no help whatsoever!! I even tried phoning the airport in Spain direct but all I got was somebody who spent 10 minutes saying "hello"............... So in the end I had to give up! Don't know if they managed to meet up or if they made it to their appartment or anything!
I guess they must have or I would have had more panicked calls from them!
