I am so excited....

because tomorrow, I am finally FINALLY getting my biggest prize thus far.

Back in October, I won a 2 night stay at Babington House on the Times Online/Passat competition. We decided we would go for mr kateab's birthday which is tomorrow and over the following months, a lovely lady at the prize company has been sorting out the details with me.

Granny and Grandad are coming to stay at ours so we can leave the children behind. (They are excited about this!)

So we have

return train tickets from Lancashire to Bath
free taxi to Babington House
two nights in an attic room (price range £195 - £300 per night, room only)
breakfast (which I worked out would cost £60 alone!)
a massage each in the Cowshed spa
and a cheque for £110 in lieu of going somewhere for a meal.

Can't wait!

Definitely NOT the blogger at Katie and the Kids, OK?
