Just watched the wonderful @jessicakilljoy’s instastories from last night and felt challenged to share some more holiday memories. Sometimes we just see the happy memories in these squares and my previous post was exactly that partly because the holiday was overall very happy but partly because it might a nicer caption (and I kind of couldn’t be bothered to write a longer one.) Anyway, I bang on about honesty and being vulnerable so in the interest of sharing since ‘everyone has sh*t days’ here’s another photo. This is from the day on holiday where our car broke down. Whilst I got on the phone to the RAC Big bro said, ‘I can smell poo’ and sure enough poo was spilling out of Little bro’s nappy all over him and his car seat. Cue us realising we were out of wipes (we’d used them up trying to get seagull poo out of Little bro’s hair earlier that day!) and using water and spare clothes to attempt to wipe him down, our wonderful friends coming back with wipes to rescue us then taking me and the boys back to where we were staying so the men could wait for the RAC for 3 hours. Our car went into the garage eventually and we waited to find out the damage (and whether we’d get it back before we had to go home.) They called and said it was major but they could do it for £800 🤢 Then when we picked it up the next day they said it was more major than they realised at first and it was actually £943.42 😵 With me being self-employed (therefore not earning if on holiday) and the fact we don’t earn much more than we need for each month this was not a welcome expense. Anyone else got a sh*t day story to share to encourage us all?!
I’m sure the sign of a good holiday is not posting pictures but more than that I hardly took any! We had a wonderful week away with @strustlife and then a week with friends in Canterbury. Lovely food, great times of chatting, and far too many evenings with a glass in hand. Feeling knackered and rested all at the same time. Of course I volunteered to preach at church tomorrow as I love getting straight back in 🤪 📷: @petewillmot
