Phewwwww the last couple of days has been a right panic. I am due to fly to Gran Canaria on Saturday as D and I celebrate our Silver wedding Anniversary. Got the holiday booked, got the money sorted and the travellers cheques, did all the arranging and even checked that (laid back ) D has got his passport etc etc. On Monday night I came home after my Tap dance class and got out the passport to take a photocopy of them ( cos that is what you should do) and realised with absolute horror that my passport expired in May 2007. Shock is not the word. Don thought I was kidding till he saw my tears. I ohoned the emergency help number for the passport office and spoke to a lovely guy who sorted everything out. Got the 6.30am boat to the mainland and took three hours to get to Glasgow, was interviewed at the passport office and hey presto two and a half hours later had a passport in one hand and a missing £114 from my purse. I would have paid £314.oo I was so relieved. Thank God for that as Don was working his way through the list of who he was taking instead of me. Phewwwwwwww Big Hip hurrah for the passport Office - my Grateful thanks.
My stress levels are high, with uni, maths, holiday coming up and Xmas. Being super efficient I want it all sorted before I go. Xmas is nearly there. All cards wrtten and will post on Friday before I go. All presents bought and some wrapped - rest to do tonight. Parcels already posted. I had hoped to put the tree up before I went but D has put his foot down and said no. We have enough to do tidying the house for friends who are house and pet sitting. Hope to finish my maths before Friday so I have a clear 2 weeks when I come back to finish all the uni stuff. I hope.
Hopwe the weather here is rotten when I am away but knowing my luck there will be a heatwave here and a tornado in Gran Canaria.
