    At least you're not getting any work phone calls :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    GG you made me laugh out loud there ... There we go my one bit of happiness ... My work have not phoned :):):)

    The revellers decided last night was a big party night again so it was 5.30 before I got any sleep, I think even if we were to change hotels it would be the same.. In sure you've probably guessed where we are ( in fact I think I mentioned it a few times :) )

    Mr el has been drinking too much so we have been arguing a lot, he used to be a fun drunk now he isn't , he ha became the annoying uncle ... So we have that undercurrent going on as well :(

    3 more sleeps :)

    Thanks thistle all hugs welcomed :)

    Today I flipped, I decided I had had enough of suiting everyone else and no one looking out for me

    I sat mr el down and told him I missed happy mr el and didn't like nasty mr el that seems to have appeared due to the alcohol, I told him that I was no longer going to be hiding in my room just so that I don't burn , I was no longer going to have a horrible time, I then went over the road and booked two trips, one for tomorrow and one for Friday, Friday's trip is a free blanket trip worth 20€ each and tomorrow's trip was 40€ ... I then dragged mr el onto the local bus and took him to a different village, we had a good day, much more relaxed, much more out kinda thing and exactly what we needed ... Nice mr el came along as well and left nasty mr el in the hotel room

    Now to try and sort something out for the night, yes it may cost us money tomorrow for our trip but I couldn't take any more

    Last time I came to this place I came back nearly divorced ... This time was heading that way also ... I think mr el has also learned that I do know what I will like and what I won't ... :)

    Will let you know how tonight pans out :)

    Oh and last nights revellers were still at it at 5.30am... Just in time for those on the early flight to get up and scrape the furniture across the floor etc ... Ear plugs don't seem to help :(


    I don't think I am a package holiday kinda person, not sure what exactly gives that away ... But I have my sneaky suspicions lol

    You calling me Skinny?:rotfl::rotfl:

    It sounds a lovely place but I'm a bit confused where you are - I thought I knew but going by use of Euros it doesn't seem to be... I didn't realise Buckie was exported abroad:D if Scotland goes independent maybe we could whack the import duty up on it and solve most of the problems of the central belt in one fell swoop.

    That was the iPod lol ... But you do have a nice figure :)


    Isn't Buckie exported up to us from down Devon way ? Would we get the duty money ? Lol

    Think costa blanca ... Think dodgy tv programme ... Think A&E programme also ... I think though I take it back about the book of faces and it not being a challenge abroad ... I could've done with the book this week lol
