    Then again, we won't be on our own, I'll still have you lot here :beer:
    Me too - my mum just told me our little hotel has free wireless so my laptop is coming!! Sad isn't it - the thought of a weekend without a computer was scary hahaha.

    We're all ready I think too - luckily I'm not driving to Paignton, I don't do long journeys either. I'm just driving to my mums at Weston in the morning then leaving car at hers while my stepdad drives us, suits me! And the girls can enjoy his dvd in-car thingy. Not something my old Corsa has;)

    Who did you get your breakdown cover with? Wasit RAC thro' Quidco? I need to get some, was looking the other night. I do only ever drive to Weston (OH and Tesco haha), but I should have it. I did fancy the 'at home' as well as roadside though, but that costs more of course:p
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Ah I'm sure you'll have a lovely time - I bet he will just love it. We've not stayed at Butlins before but did go to a Parkdean holiday in North Devon a few years ago and the kids had such a good time, especially in the evenings! I've not taken my 2 away on our own either before, it's a scary thought though, I'm sure they'd get bored of me! Last year we went with my sister, her husband and 2 girls so I expect just the 3 of us would feel strange.

    But I'm sure you'll have a lovely break. It'd be lovely if it was dry, but doesn't look too hopeful. Awful weather - I didn't imagine our summer hols to be like this:mad: haha

    Was that Croyde? We're off there in October - bargain sun holiday - £68 for 4 nights! We love it there x
