hello all, Im back from the most awful holiday I have ever had !
We went to Reighton Sands near Filey/ Scarborough/Whitby.
we arrived on Friday to find we had a tv but no picture or sound -great !. So i went and complained - they told me that it is a bad reception area !- so how come i could see next doors telly just fine?
On sunday a guy came round and said it wasnt the tv it was the arial he would send another guy........... On Friday(departure day) he still hadnt turned up. We had to buy a DVD player and some films, a radio, and loads and loads of toys for son to play with. The weather was not good , windy and raining on and off. The swimming pool was totally unsuitable for son to get into and even if we did get into it there was nowhere for us to change him Grrrrrr !!.
We had frozen meals reheated in a microwave. It cost £1.95 for a portion of chips that was served in a bowl no bigger than a mullerlight yogurt pot- and they were frozen.
The so called traditional fish and chips was out of the freezer.
We had a day at Flamingo land- when we got to the gates to pay she just looked at us and said -''your paying for 1 adult,1 disabled person and 1 carer ,yes?
err yes, I said.
she handed me our tickets and a little orange booklet- this was the guide to the park for disabled visitors ..... she might as well of told me -" Dont bother taking your son in cos he cant have a go on any of the rides" !!!. Wot a load of crap, So we paid £48 to look at a few animals, and half of them wasnt out cos it was damp and overcast and the staff had left the animals house doors open so they could go back in side.
Even in the little kids area there was nothing for son to do. We thought we could go for a ride on the overhead train thingy, hubby could of hold onto son , and we could of stayed on and come back and got his wheelchair - but oh no -it was one way only !!!
The whole week was a total disaster with the weather and the site we stayed at.
To top it off the hospice told us that she can only let us have one week in september (8th-13th) so now Im gonna have a real struggle to get them dates for a holiday whereas before I could of played withing the 2 weeks- hubby was not happy at all. So that wound us up
I have eaten total crap whilst we been away
fish and chips x 2
burger and chips x 2
lasagne and chips
spaghetti bolognese
half a tub of mini coc muffins
jam roly poly and custard x 2
and loads of other stuff.
still I have until Wednesday to sort myself out!!
