I am off to work in a bit and won't get much chance to post BUT I am back:j:j

And I am NOT going away again......

Got there ok. Drive up mountains not bad, spanish people have realised not good to have sheer drops either side of the road with no barriers so have put barriers up!!:j

Weather not good, so read all my books and did nothing for days.......

Then OH decided him and DD1's boyfriend would go to town to watch football.. DD2 decided to go with him....and we waited for them to come back...........and waited.........and waited.

At nine o clock OH rings to tell me they have lost DD2.

Then OH rings to tell me they have found DD2 in police station!:eek:

OH rings back and says we have to report to police station at 10am the following morning to be charged with child neglect due to DD2 being found collapsed in the street!:eek:

What actually happened was OH decided it would be wise to let her drink three spanish sized vodkas before letting her go shopping and getting lost for 3 hours....culminating in the police finding her crying on the kerbside.

They let us off with the child neglect charge although we did still have to report to the police station.

    PART TWO

    So then we decided on the last day to go for a nice meal by the beach.....

    Apart from DD2 puking in the hire care and having the hangover from hell the day was quite nice....

    Had said meal and OH disappeared with Chloe to the beach......leaving me with the bill...no money .....so I go to find him and he presented me with a lovely flower (to make up for losing one of my children no doubt)....Sod the flower give me the money. At which point he opens his wallet and finds 15 euros in it.. I said you had 150 euros.....at this point he went a bit green and said I think i have just been fleeced!!!!

    My OH thinks I am mean by telling street sellers to f**k off, but no longer, apparently he went to get a euro out and she said no 10 euros and he thought she pulled a 10 euro out and she obviously nicked most of his money.

    I fumed for hours..............

    PART THREE

    went back to villa to pack and make way to airport when I realised that DD3's passport missing!!!! !!!!!!! It had gone, how that happened I will never know as it hadn't been used since we got there...all I can assume is that it got lost in the airport when we got there.

    Rang Ryanair who helpfully said you have to go to the embassy but she couldn't tell me where the embassy was. I suggested we just go to the airport and ask for help there but OH was like....:eek:

    Got there and luckily all we had to do was report it to the airport police...(I think by this time they had heard about us and just wanted rid)

    The only problem I had was trying to get back into Britain at this end.....they wanted me to prove she was my daughter!!!!!!:rolleyes:

    Well I couldn't but they let me in anyway......

    Anyway for a four day holiday in the sun, there was no sun and I am seriously skint.....I am not going on holiday ever again and I am saving up for a divorce!!!!!

    Sorry for boring you all but my god its good to be back.

    Have I missed much!
