I've just returned home from a brilliant trip around the Scottish Highlands for Christmas. I decided to book a tour and travel solo (with fifty other people and nationalities) as the holidays can be very tough. Basically, I've been saving for this trip since before January 2017 and was really looking forward to it.

Our tour guide was a very traditional Scotsman with a great sense of humour (somewhat good-looking in his thirties). Might have been my imagination, but I sensed a little attraction on both sides.

Unfortunately, I was sharing a room with two Australian girls who decided to consume a huge combination of shots, whiskey, wine and spirits during our trip. This meant I got minimal sleep and on the last night, the hotel called paramedics because my room-mate got so wasted she gave herself alcohol poisoning and vomited over herself.

We were supposed to be leaving at 10am, so I got her belongings packed, helped her stay hydrated etc all the while fuming at her complete stupidity. But she was genuinely ashamed of her own behaviour so I couldn't stay mad.

We all made the bus, but our Scottish tour guide was really angry after I had explained the situation and joked that he "might want to take it easy around the bends". He was pretty unpleasant to me, then asked in front of the bus if I too needed a black bin liner to vomit into (basically insinuating I'm a drunk).

Losing it, the following sassy Sagittarian comment burst forth "No, but you could wear it on your head to make your face look prettier". The cruelty was that he had broken out in bright red spots the previous night. He refused to speak to me from that point onwards and I felt so embarassed afterwards.

Did you guys have a better Christmas break?

Ha! The travel company have just sent me an email saying I have been "selected to make a review of the trip". Not quite sure whether to bring this fiasco up, but it's very tempting. Guess my Scottish marriage will not be happening soon....

Hellosaggy - no presents? That's rough, my friend. Lets hope better opportunities present thenselves in the next few days.

I haven't even thought about New Years Eve. Must arrange something interesting.
