Holiday Blues

There are many ways to end holidays. Today probably wasn't the best. Ignoring the traffic jams (including an injured dog in the middle lane of the motorway which I couldn't stop for so feel great about that) losing a diamond ring and a sofa bed really doesn't add up to a great day. The diamond ring was dropped by "A" in the back of the car. Somehow it has vanished. Turned the car upside down but no evidence of it. Then we get home to discover that the neighbour who we left in charge of the cats hasn't been reliable. I suspect failed to empty the litter tray once. And the cats (through no fault of their own) resorted to using the sofa bed as a toilet, and it is now probably beyond rescue.

Tomorrow I hope to give some happy tales of our holiday, but today has been fairly naff!

it's going to be a very long time before 'A' gets to have pocket money again then.... :)

Now..why did you let 'A' hold a diamond ring in the first place? It was bound to happen. Happened in my house with £4.50 change...lost the lot in the car.

I did not let "A" have the ring and I am not feeling brave enough to ask why someone else let her have it. Suffice to say - bad moment
