Well in case you hadn't noticed I haven't blogged since last week Tuesday - unusual eh?
Well my damned laptop did the death thing on me AGAIN!!! Wednesday night around 9.30pm, tried to switch it on to let you all know what we'd been up to etc ... and NOTHING - DEAD!!!!
So what can you do at that time of night???? Try to fix it if you know what you're doing??? Or just go upstairs and pack cos hubby has informed you of the surprise long weekend away to Euro Disney!!!! I was planning on making you all feel jealous by telling you about it on Wednesday night... See what happens when you're being 'ugly'(lmao)
We set of Thursday morning to drive down to the Tunnel and a hop across the water to France... The weather across there was as great if not better than what we left here... I can't actually believe the fact that I'm in the UK and no rain and it's hot!!! (lol) We took a leisurely drive through France arriving at our Hotel at about 6ish. We stayed at Disney's Newport Bay Club. Kelsey had to dash into the hotel upon arrival as he 'needed' the loo... As I was standing waiting for Paul to check us in Kelsey comes running back across the foyer nodding sideways and calling me (there I am thinking maybe there's a Disney character behind the huge pole in front of me) no behind the pole are Jane & Nigel some good friends of ours.... ;-) all planned by the lot of them as another surprise for me!!!! (I WILL get you all back) lol
It was great to see them and the whole weekend was fantastic although HOT, STICKY and very TIRING... I am really getting too old for this jet setting (PMSL). Kelsey loved the weekend too. We had leisurely breakfasts together, sauntered thru to the parks, stood in ques as only can happen in Disneyland, persuaded Jane to join us on most rides (even though she's not a roller coaster lover oh! p.s neither am I but we girls had to show the boys we could do some of them too... ) and stayed up late most nights enjoying good company and good food.... the best kind of holiday...
Oh and I have to tell you this, my 'theory' about roller coaster rides has been shattered courtesy of 'Crush's Coaster Ride'. If you are an adrenalin junkie and you want a ride that scares the s...! out of you ... try this ride. It is not even considered as one of the main attraction rides... I mean after all it's supposed to be all about 'gliding' thru the ocean finding Nemo with his buddy Crush (the sea turtle) !!!!! Yeah sure it was the scardiestest ride I went on!!!!! (even Jane went on the ride cos we all thought no over the shoulder restraints etc. can't be such a scary ride HA! HA! We both got off there giggling 'hysterically' trying to get over the fear!!! lmao) It will haunt me for a very long time !!!!
Anyway we had a brilliant, fantastic, enjoyable, fun filled, great weekend...
Back to reality and the washing etc... (well Kelsey & I only have 1 weeks supply) needed the extra space in the suitcases for the shopping.... Talking of which ... Ann called round this am for coffee... mentioned she wanted to visit Once upon a Stamp at Pleasley - as she has'nt been to their new place (me either) so off we set ... got lost (ha! ha! thnx TomTom !) Only to discover they were not open... damn it ... Summer Hours only open Wed - Sat (guys really I wanted to shop! don't have too much time you know!!!)
So we shot off to ASDA in Mansfield (how exciting is that?)... Ann did not know that you can spend 4 hours shopping in 1 supermarket (pmsl) and I think I may have to go back there again... so much shopping - so little time ....
Oh! and my laptop is still playing up so girls ... your phone numbers are stuck inside my laptop and we will hopefully get them out tomorrow when the 'dude' comes to see what the problem is and hopefully I still have plenty of time to get together with you all...
