If it could go wrong it did!

We went to London over the weekend as planned and the following events occurred which kind of sums up the whole experience:

• Isla was ill with a sickness bug on the Thursday which made me wonder if we would actually even go.
• On the Friday morning the sickness had gone but she was really tetchy and had an upset tummy.  We decided to go for it as these things are normally only 24 hours....
• We had a lovely time in the Rainforest Cafe although we parked in Soho and the walk back to the car was interesting.  Finn was a bit scared of the gorillas as they were pretty lifelike but all good.
• Hotel OK - air con not walking so stuffy bedroom, Finn had lots of dreams and woke up and talked in his sleep.  A lot.
• Isla did a thunderous upset tummy poo while 5 minutes into the 30 minute London Eye "flight".  Escaped out of the nappy and onto the floor (OMG!!) which resulted in an announcement to our other lucky inhabitants of the pod that a nappy change and in fact whole outfit change would be required.  This news resulted in us having at least 1/2 of the pod to ourselves.  Laugh....I almost cried.
• In fact there were in total 9 upset tummy incidents in 48 hours several resulting in an outfit changed.  Trauma is not the word.  Me not Isla!
•  Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery and Covent Garden were really lovely.
• We had some Chinese food in China town and I broke a tooth while in there which really capped the day off!
•  Sunday morning and we were up with the larks (as you are with children) and in Oxford Street at 09:30 for a little retail therapy and found the sodding shops don't open until 12!  12, I ask you, for the Love of God!
• Second taxi of the day and we arrive at Harrods to find that also doesn't open until 12.  Arrrrgggghhhh.
• So we walked to the Science Museum which was good fun.

• Andy goes to collect the car and manages to navigate to the wrong place to pick the children and I up.  1 hour of waiting in the cold and he screams up full of apologies and "he thought that the postcode being 1 letter out wouldn't matter".  I ask you - he works in IT he should know that wouldn't work.

Not what I imagined!
