I'll paraphrase Pat Condell,

They couldn't find their ass in the dark with both hands, I'm not sure how they'll get my gun(s)

Holiday...Celebrate...!
For my birthday, the 'rents are taking me away to a seaside resort for four days!

[ungrateful]I would rather have had the money it costs[/ungrateful]
But the truth is I know they wanted a mini-break in England, and I know it's sort of an excuse.
I also know that Mum felt really guilty not taking me on holiday for Dad's 70th birthday, and slightly narked at my sister and family for their behaviour and attitude during said break. At least they know they can live with me (90% of the time) and that I will adhere to their schedules. I think one of the reasons she felt bad was that they were delayed thanks to the Icelandic volcano so I was The Hub for all calls Please note, I got money towards my trip to Amsterdam by not going on holiday with them - I have never regretted it or suggested otherwise to my parents in any way.

So I have decided to be totally positive about this, because it's a sign of their love and their trust that we can live in an even smaller space with no problems.

We're going to the seaside resort that Dad's parents went to as newlyweds - and the family have been going ever since - Great Yarmouth. It's on the East Coast of England and boasts miles of sandy beaches. When the weather is good it's a wonderful place for children. Well. Low-maintenance/ 80s children. You can play all day on a beach with a beach ball, a polysterene glider, a kite. And still have energy to walk for a mile down the seafront in the evening and get a bag of chips from the market.

We're staying in a caravan (static trailer?) on a holiday park. We'll probably have a big breakfast in the 'van, a snack lunch out (if that) and a home-cooked meal in the evening. There's a HUGE 24 hour ASDA (Walmart) nearby, so even if it's ready-meals it will be different for us (no ASDA in our town.) I expect to have at least one Mediterranean lunch - bread, olives, cheese, meats - they sell high quality items too.

And we'll head off to the Clubhouse for evening entertainment. It's free, but the drinks are extortionate. No worries, both the rents are expert in hiding drinks in pockets and handbags. We might buy £5.00 of drinks, but we keep hold of the glasses and refill as necessary! (Note, not just an alcofrolic thing, Cokes are £3.00!)

Actaully am more and more chuffed as I type.
YAY!
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES......... C'MON!

Lots more photos than anyone could ever want will follow.
Well, I'm not going til 25th July.
But you know me, I like to build things up!

You know that floaty feeling when you've been walking miles with a heavy backpack, then you take it off? I have a friend who is feeling that way after ridding themselves of something unpleasant and their happy is contagious!

Quite right, it's snuck up on me!

2 weeks til my birthday (1 July)
3 weeks until Torchwood: Miracle Day (8 July)
And then just over another two weeks until we go on holiday (25 July)

2 months until Much Ado About Nothing with David Tennant and Catherine Tate (15 August)
Dr Who resumes in September
Panto and GTG in Glasgow in December

How did I suddenly get so much to look forward to?!
I must have been being a good girl
