  • Enjoy London. I would love to travel a little more too, but think while little one is so young, it would just be a bit too much.

    I think when she is approaching 9 or 10, i might try the further afield places. We did take her to Florida and she was amazing on the flight, even thought it was over 9 hours. x

  • Thank you it has been a blast, the shows were amazing, the London show with the orchestra was unreal, we had amazing seats, the sound was amazing, could feel the base in my heart, was so so so good

    Yeah the longest my kids have done is 4.5 hours travel so far when they were 5 and 8, we are considering bringing them to London for five days in a couple of years and doing the proper tourist things and a trip to Lego land, as they will be 8 and 11 and could stand the walking more and the museums etc xx

    I think if we did this, we would do the train. We have tried the drive with her and it is just too long for her to sit in the car at this age. x

    Morning all,

    How are we all doing? well I have come down from the high of the weekend, it was utterly amazing. People diss Hanson all the time, one hit wonders, blah blah, but true fans, me lol who have been here for 22 years know this isn't the case, they have 12 albums, and have had 17 singles, it's not their fault the radio sucks and only plays mmmbop

    Anyhoo, it was truly amazing seeing them with the full orchestra, they sounded utterly amazing and we were so so so close, here is a pic of Taylor's piano :)

    I have a day off work today, I have cleaned the oven and hobs (hate that job). I have the shelves soaking in the bath, so I am about to go clean them, then clean the bathroom and toilet (another job I hate :rotfl: ), I have a wash in, need to put the clean clothes away, have a tidy and do the dishes, then plan on chilling hopefully

    DS is creating games on his computer, and DD is doing jigsaws

    7 Days to CHB (thank god), 9 days to OH pay, 10 days to my pay.

    Have a nice day all xx

    I never would've known how much material Hanson had released! Might be off to listen to some of their stuff while I work - broaden my horizons! Sounds like you had a ball anyway!

    Just reading about all that housework has made me dizzy haha we did a quick once over in all of the rooms because window man was coming round and it made all the difference.
