my worst holiday ever!

thank god it's over!   the worst $2000 i've spent in a while and really wish i didn't go and used the money on the house!

we've been away for the past 10days in hastings for BIL's wedding. we flew to welly with the in-laws, then met other BIL, SIL and kids and all drove to hastings in a mini-van. that was fun!

got to the house in hastings and MIL started making snide/bitchy comments to SIL and didn't stop until they had a total blow-up 2 DAYS later!!
i've never seen my MIL act so selfish, bitchy and completely childish like that! i felt so sorry for my SIL and she handled it like a champ, until it got to the point where enough was enough.

things slightly improved after the blow-up, but holidaying with so many people is just not relaxing at all!   my BIL has to be so organised! nightly meetings at the dinner table to discuss every detail of the following day drove me insane!

the brother that got married i've only met a couple of times and i'm so glad! he's such an arrogant arse!!! barely spoke to any of us and never thanked anyone for the things we did for them and all the running around we did because he was so dis-organised! thank god they live in oz and we don't see them much!!   

DH and i got to spend 2 days in welly on the way home by ourselves which was great. my dad gave us a voucher for $200 off our accom through his work BUT........   somehow i lost it     so i got really upset about that because the only reason we stayed there was because of the voucher.   i was also bummed about missing the rihanna concert because we were in welly the same night

but, the icing on this dreadful cake.......................my precious kitty died on tuesday and i wasn't here   we've been together for almost 15yrs and it seems so surreal that she's gone. my eyes keep playing tricks on me since we've been home and i keep seeing her around the house. she would always sleep under the blankets at night curled up in front of me, last nights sleep was the worst i've had in ages. i miss her so so much and hate that i didn't get to see her one more time. before we left i said goodbye to her and told her to wait til i got home, because i just knew she wasn't going to last much longer. but she just couldn't

my lovely dad took her to the vet for me on wednesday so i'm going to pick up her ashes today....i'm dreading it.   now i just need to find a nice box to put her and her mum 'pusspuss' in.

pusspuss got hit by a car while we were on holiday in nelson 3 years ago...why do these things always happen when i'm on holiday!

Wow that sounds pretty terrible alright

And sorry to hear about Kitty It's never easy to lose a pet you have had for such a long time, even when you know it's going to happen soon..

Huge cyber hugs hun!!!

RIP little kitty.

 

 

Aww Vanessa

picked kitty up today......i could barely get the words out to the receptionist, felt so sorry for her

That really sucks that you had such a terrible time. And what a thing to get home to.
I hope you have a really great week this week to make up for it xx

Aww that sucks you've had a terrible time. So sorry hun

I am so sorry about your cat, but you know what, she probably really wanted to spare you. Cats are amazing like that - people can do it too, i know my step nana waited for the one moment her daughter left her side to pass away, and my kitty waited till I wasn't there too.

So take comfort in knowing that to the end your kitty was thinking about you. Heartbreaking as it is as you feel you should be there, sometimes we have to let them make those choices.

miss.....thanks for making me cry!!!   my nana came over yesterday and told me how and when kitty died.

kitty had basically been living at their house (through the fence) for the past month, even though i'd go get her at night. that was so upsetting to me because kitty has for the past 14.5yrs slept in my bed every night. i don't know why she 'ran away' but will never know

my nana noticed kitty could barely walk so she put her in their dog basket in their sleepout, then went inside to get her some food. she ate a small amount of meat, then started purring, and my nana went inside. when she came back out to see how kitty was doing, kitty bolted up when she heard my nana and looked at her, let out a 'meow' and laid down. my nana sat their patting her and then she drifted away

i feel so guilty and mostly so so upset that i wasn't the one to be with her when she passed. i can't help but wonder if she bolted upright and meowed because she thought it was me coming out to her........my nana thinks it was kitty saying 'thankyou'

i'll never forget you my precious wee kitty baby

don't be sorry miss....i cry at the drop of a hat these days

my nana reckons kitty new she was getting near the end and that's why she spent most of her time over at their place (through our fence). apparently cats often go away to die??
she also said that she was glad i wasn't there when kitty passed because i would've been so upset and it wouldn't have been as peaceful for her........i'm not sure on that one yet, would've liked her to be in my arms and know that i loved her
