Sorry to hear that mate, I'm gutted for you, I hate it when stuff like that happens, especially for holiday circumstances.

So tomorrow is the day my family get there one weeks of holiday for the year. Last year we spent it in a lovely log cabin in Snowdonia, so booked it again for this year.

Today at 2pm an email from the owners to say our holiday is cancelled as there is an issue with the cabin, a fucking year we've had that booked and they tell us 24 hours before we arrive there

My wife and I run our own tattoo shop and she is booked up months in advance so getting this one week off to coincide with school holidays has been a minor miracle, and my 8 year old was so excited for tomorrow.

So I've had to spend the afternoon finding somewhere we can go to, tomorrow, for a week, for 5 people and a dog and has a hot tub. Finally found somewhere in Yorkshire. So I have got a 5 hour drive ahead of me, setting off at 10am.

The original plan for the cabin was to leave after school time so we had all day tomorrow to pack, ready the car etc. Hence my post for oil earlier, needed to know and buy some incase I need to top up in morning.

I can thank the other tattooist at work, while me and the misses were having no joy, she found this place for us in 5mins and got it all sorted while me and misses carried on working.

@Claptrap cheers mate, yeah hope this place is nice, a little less in the middle of nowhere than we had planned but fingers crossed

dozy vehicle standards???? agency took eight weeks to send my log book back with MY address on it and the CORRECT engine size, PLUS I had to send TWO letters chasing the arseholes. Not even a letter of apology. Thank god Noddy and Big Ears didn't ask to see my three and one half cc engine.

Uugh! Excitedly updated to iOS 11 ... looks pretty but I’d forgotten about how slow and battery hungry phones get when they are processing a major system update... 3/4 days of lag expected but I’m wondering how my 3 year old phone will cope after that ...
