Annecy - bit of a disasterous start :-(

I should be in Dover now. In a hotel with the kids, pleasantly stuffed after a nice pizza and a couple of glasses of wine to toast the start of the holiday. Instead, I'm still in Timperley with holiday plans scuppered by a basic and idiotic error on my part! This morning, after a quick trip to boots to pick up the last few bits and bobs, I came home and started to pack the final bag for the trip. All the documentation was printed and in the front pocket of my Etape rucsack. Only the passports remained.....you can see where this is going. Unfortunately, when I opened up my Daughter's passport, I saw, to my horror, that it ran out about 2 weeks ago. OH MY GOD!!! Frantic phonecalls & an unsuccessful trip to Liverpool passport office followed. We thought we might risk it and go down anyway but then decided against. Colin and two of the kids are going tomorrow in the car - with only my MTB by the way (it is a family holiday and will be good just to do stuff together - I think they've put up with a lot already during my preparation for L'Etape). I have an appointment first thing Monday at the passport office - my daughter and I will then fly from Liverpool to Geneva, meeting the others there. We're going to be cutting it fine - our flight is 13.30pm and we need to be there at 12.45pm. Our appointment is 8.30am - hopefully, we will have just enough time to make it. Otherwise, we're off to East Midlands airport for a later flight. To confirm our booking to Geneva, we need to provide Passport numbers - oh hell, it's a bloody nightmare and it's all my own fault. I could just kick myself right up the arse! The worst bit is that I have to get on a plane. Bloody Hell.
I just hope that when we get there it will all be worth it.......
