    I am not having a good day. OH has no accomodation for tomorrow night..his landlady has double booked his room for one night. Given that he is a long standing lodger I think its a disgrace personally but hey ho.

    so i am tasked with finding him a new room for one night. So I book him to the travelodge but DD1's laptop is set up with the wrong date so I booked a room for tonight instead of tomorrow.

    So i ring customer services only to be told they can't do anything cos you can only cancel a room up to 12 on the day of the booking...despite me booking it five seconds ago!

    So I have to pay for another room...but i don't have the funds for it. Just rung the OH to pay for the room and he sighed at me.....so i lost the plot again. As far as I am concerned he can sleep in the car tomorrow....

    As for the t travelodge! I have to write to customer services.....:mad:

    Sorry about Thomas, Pap. Sending lots of homecoming vibes his way. :grouphug:

    Sammy, good idea re co-codamol, I would kill for some but have run out of the over-the-counter strength, and only have the prescription strength stuff, which makes me sometimes feel drunk and chilled, and sometimes sick and dizzy. It's like pharmaceutical russian roulette...

    Pooky, Ryan really enjoyed himself thanks. It's an ICT club so basically they just mess about on computers. Apparently Ryan managed to get himself online and find a game called 'War Mania' (or something), which involves blowing up enemy tanks... :eek: Very well balanced, my son. :rolleyes:
