Last day of holiday :( but :)

Always one to cause a kerfuffle Scarlett wasn't going to go un-noticed on the last day. She had tried to do her own packing and put everything she could into a brown paper bag which she dragged down to breakfast. Well of course the bag ripped and everything spilled out on the floor in the dining room. More looks from everyone, I politely said we were leaving today and got out of there. it is sad how quick it has gone, although the last day always goes the slowest. I hate it, just waiting around to leave. I want to be transported back home in my sleep. In fact I did dream I was home last night and woke up this morning and was like ahhh damn. Well I say this morning, it was 3am when I was woken by the banshee that has been shouting and screaming waking me every night. I am looking forward to not hearing her, although it is annoying as it would be more interesting if I could work out who she was shouting at and why, it was just loud muffled screams and moans and actually..... oh no. In the last taxi journey back to the airport a young couple got in, the gild beside me and the guy in the front. They hadn't really said anything to eachother then all of a sudden the guy said sternly "It's 4 'o' clock" The girl said "Oh, OK" I then watched her and she went into her bag and popped her contraceptive pill in her mouth. Now that is not getting pregnant team work! Not all down to the woman to remember, what a good guy! Oh you may have notice that Barry/Harry the bear has been absent the last few days, don't worry he has been safe and sound in the hotel. I took a couple of snaps of him by the pool for the nursery to prove he had had a good time and thought this morning that I wouldn't pack him, as if I did Scarlett would be bound to ask for him. So we were just about to board the plane after a last toilet stop, I was laden down with my bag, Scarlett's bag, my coat, her coat, my scarf, Scarlett's bubba and not Barry the bear. I ran back to the shop we had just been in panicking and asking if anyone had seen a big brown bear, the women looked at me like I was mad and told me to go to security. I ran to them shouting about a bear "I've lost a bear! I need to get back through!" They looked at me oddly and let me go back through to the play area "A bear, a bear! Has anyone seen a bear?!" Nothing I ran to the last shop I had been in and found him. I have never been so happy to see a cuddly toy in my life! I thought I was going to have to go back and explain to all the children and staff at the nursery that Barry/Harry liked Malta so much he decided to stay. So Bear safe and sound, we were bumped to the front of the boarding queue (having a child is so handy!) I couldn't wait to get back to the airport, get in the taxi and get home. Of course it didn't work out like that. First we landed at the South terminal and the taxi was waiting at the North terminal. I rushed down to get the luggage so I could get the shuttle back to the North terminal. I phoned my Dad to confirm everything was just going through the 'Nothing to Declare' point when I realised I did have something to declare. I AM AN IDIOT! I had forgotten to book the taxi to pick me up. Apparently I was supposed to organise it with the taxi man on the way there, but at 4am it slipped my mind. I just presumed that it was all sorted as he didn't ask me about how I was getting back. So I had to wait 20 minutes for a train which luckily went back to Worthing. Then when I finally got back to Worthing train station the last 2 taxis were taken by clubbers going into town. I was just about to cry as I had been phoning taxi ranks for half an hour and couldn't get through. So there I was stuck in the freezing cold, with a grouchy child and a crumpled face. Thank goodness there are still nice people in the world. A taxi pulled up and a young couple were just about to get in it, they looked back at me and the woman said "No, let this lady get in she has a child. We can wait." I felt like kissing her. The bloke got my suitcase for me and put it in the taxi and they both waved me off and wished me a merry Christmas. I am eternally grateful to them and am so happy to know that there are still genuinely lovely people in the world. So 6 days, 1 Adult, 1 Child, 1 Teddy Bear and we are all back in one piece. We made it!
