Best laid plans!

Well I'm at Cass's but so is she and all the kids! Social services decided at the last minute they couldn't find anyone to care for the child who wasn't allowed to travel with Cass. So her trip was cancelled, I'm staying a few days. It gives me a break from Steve which is always a good thing. 

There is a very friendly pub in her village so I've treated myself to lunch a few times. The food is good and the prices are reasonable, the charges will show up on my bank account so no doubt Steve will wonder who I'm with. I'm actually eating with my kindle that way I look less of a Billy no mates. I may go back tomorrow and have a roast dinner, Beano is always happy to snooze under the table when I'm in the pub and I always walk through the park to get to the pub which Beano enjoys.

How disappointing for everyone, especially the children. I hope your daughter isn’t losing out financially because of this….

Although sad that Cass and kids missed their vacation, it sounds like a win-win situation for you!

How disappointing about the holiday. Never mind, at least you have had a break. Don’t worry about being by yourself in the pub. Nobody else cares so just enjoy yourself and have a lovely meal. Best wishes from Northern Ireland x
