Day...I have lost the plot and can't remember. Friday.

Today I tried to contact the insurance company of the guy who very slowly reversed into our car. On call one I was told that I needed to phone back this afternoon as they had not yet received the email from my insurance company that they had requested. I know this was sent and not returns as unsent so this is rubbish. Call two I was told that they shut at 3pm today and still had not got it and to call back on Monday. Call three, I was told that they did now have the email, but it was with management, call back. Call four, the lady who I had already talked to twice was getting bored now and went off to talk to someone and returned saying that they would have a assessor out on Monday. Monday at 9am we will start again...

Other then that, we went into town today which involves a  10 minute car lift into the local small village and then a half hour bus ride into the town. Nothing is easy here. We missed the bus back leading to all sorts of new Spanish having to be used to get a bus into another village as that was the last bus home. Matt ha made friends though and is currently playing hide and seek in the park. We have found that the slightly older girls have enough English to get buy with him and communicate. Anyone younger doesn't know enough English and the older boys aren't interested. It works though.

 I will post a picture of the amazing couple who have helped us out no end soon. We seem to have got a reputation around the camp now. Everyone says hola, and I assume knows us as the poor English who have had terrible bad luck. Habe (our angle guardian from reception) told us today while giving us a lift that someone on the camp had offered any hep that we may need and if we needed a lift or anything they would be glad to help. It isn't really a tourist site as opposed to a site where people own the statics so come here most weekends and al know each other well. We are using the time to try and teach the children to ride thier bikes. Matt had it for a moment.....

I need to pause for a moment and say Tim wants a big up for staying on and being supportive at this time of......erm, stress I suppose. So I will. I know that the car, bus, long walk back to the garage on Monday would be really hard without him. I wasn't intending on covering long distances on foot with the children without a car. I put it out there into the world, that I thank him from the bottom of my heart! Everything has been difficult so far. I hope that (and know really) that with the return of the car comes a return to a less difficult life. Travel with children was never going to be easy, but this is a bit of a joke. The weekend brings the close of the insurance company, so we wait until Monday. By which time the parts should be in and the car getting fixed and an assessor on his way out....well that's what we think anyway. Here's a picture of the site we are on...
