    Grrrrrrrr....rain stops play:mad:

    Federer is getting thrashed though so I hope he re-groups and comes back fighting, would love it to go the whole 5 sets and it will give me a bit longer to admire the perfect male which is Rafa;)

    Althought I have to say I wish he would buy a pair of underpants that fit him as he has spent the entire match pulling them out from between his bum cheeks:rotfl:

    Hangover has now in the I "need to eat a whole fridge full of food " stage:rolleyes:

    watch the tennis and not bum cheeks

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    As a woman and therfore an expert in multi-tasking I can watch the tennis and the bum cheeks simultainiously;) :D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's as expensive as you want to make it to be honest!
    We have our Center Parcs golden rules.

    1, always book using a promo code
    2, always save £2 coins for spending money (last few times we've ended up with around £140 per trip!)
    3, take most groceries and plan meals because the kitchens are lovely with proper cookers and dishwashers!
    4, only book 1 meal out for the weekend as a treat
    5, book 1 carefully chosen activity per child
    6, pack colouring books, pens, paper, games and a few dvds for the kids

    To be honest the swimming paradise is so good and huge outdoor adventure playgrounds that the kids are more than happy.

    The October trip that I've just booked is £368 for the whole weekend, we'll take our own usual Morrisons shop and use our £2 coins for spending money!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I agree Linda, it's only the eating out and doing too many outrageously priced activites that bumps the price up!
    My kids thought that the FREE swimming area was the BEST thing in the whole world and wanted to be in the water 24/7.
    I'd go back in a sec...

    ALWAYS go out of season!
    That's why I book the weekends out of school holidays, then I'm only taking the kids out of school for a Fri and a Mon (with permission)
