The next day we were all up bright and early ( someone had forgot to pull the black out blind across )

We went for our brekki, then had a lounge beside the pool. Kids were in the pool before we could blink. The pool was nice, but the look on the kids SHIVERING chin's let me know it was not as warm as it may look

After dinner, we decided to take a walk to the beach. The beach was a very short walk away from our hotel, with plenty of shops along the way to keep us going. As we walked down to the beach we noticed a BRITISH BAR!! It was a very friendly little place right next to the beach, good music, british grub and sports channels!! I thought " why would anyone go abroad just to go eat British food...

So, we checked ourselves in with no hassles, reception was great and very helpful..... Children's entertainer came and introduced themselves and explained everything that would be happening early the next morning.

Next, we were told to go through to the dinning area, where there would be a cold buffet put on for us late arrivals Hmmm ok, we proceeded to the dinning area where there was 3 plates of cold meat and salad. Now seeing as there was 8 of us and only 3 plates of food we wondered where the rest was. Ginger went to reception and asked about the situation!! The lady on reception looked puzzled, then rang the cook, the cook assured her that he had made enough food for the late check in's, so it looks like some...

So as the plane soared higher and higher we relaxed in our seats!! Zack was sat next to the window and was amazed by the scenery!! Thankfully it was clear blue skies ad we could see everything below.

Air hostesses came with drinks and me and Ginger tucked into our first holiday JD and lemonade ahhhh this was the life!!
He ordered another round of drinks and ordered the lovely lady they were sat with a Vodka tonic.
Ginger explained to her that it was his first time and that he had been somewhat nervous about the flight, she reassured him no end......10 minutes with a few good JD's in him and a nice friendly chat to the lady, he was vowing that he couldn't understand why he had put it off for so long!! ...

Don't know when i'll be back again .... well that's not strictly true, I knew I would be back in a week

Anyway, thursday morning arrived. Cases packed, kids bathed and ready to leave, me showered and ready to go and ginger also ready ( for a change )

My friends had brought all their cases to our house, as mini bus was picking us up from our house.

4 kids and 4 adults all fussing around in my living room ..... crikey it was a good job I was in a good mood.

Mini bus came at 12pm, cases and everyone all in place - off we go!!

Got to Manchester and there was no queue for luggage so we just sent our luggage on its marry way and went through security!!
Everyone...

Well, I decided to get my nails done tonight.

I have never had them done before, because I have naturally long lovely nails, but , as sod law goes!! they have all snapped off during last week.... but only on one hand, so I looked a little un even So I phone Cousin in desperation and said " Chick, pleaseeeeee do my nails.... it's urgent " Little love had me down there tonight So now my nails look lovely,, all same length and some lovely little fan dangle little pink gems on them

Now I know I had long nails before, but it is still very awkward to get used to them. I struggle texting ( usually I'm fast... not now )
and writing this is bloody awkward, but I will get used to them!!!...
