Buggeration!

Some days are never destined to be great. Today got off to a bad start anyway with being a Monday. Then there was the battle to get the children up, dressed and into school on time. Achieved that but forgot the milk for Dad's breakfast but picked it up in the way home from the joys of a smear test and blood tests. And it is not yet 10am.

After finally getting a coffee, Mum and Dad left the rainy southwest for a no doubt beautifully warm and sunny Yorkshire.

Then Ben rang to say he was going fishing on a works jolly and staying out for his tea (a local restaurant is cooking the fish they catch) so I am on my own all evening.

And now I have found Bella's passport application. Having only lived here for 17 months we can't get anyone local to countersign so Mum and Dad were going to take it and get a family friend to countersign it. Only they are now 400miles away and the form is still here. Buggeration!
