Hey hidden,
We're also in Blackpool at caravan park.
Wasn't yesterday crazy, we unpacked in the pouring rain. Thank it stopped raining so we were able to go to the club.
We're going to brave the zoo today, hopefully it'll just stay windy.
Got my Tesco vouchers and packed lunch at the ready.
Hope you enjoy your stay xSIMPLY BE-££577.11:eek:

Its very windy today isn't it bagpuss? I think this wind has dried everything off. Hope today stays dry and you have a lovely day.
ExOh came last night to visit smalls, he's just left for home and now the kids are upset :cool: He has some right stupid ideas at times.
I'm sat in starbucks why the kids are in softplayUsed some change out my purse though rather than breaking into the holiday spends and soft play is free. I'm tempted to hunt out a book in one of the charity shops today. The nights are going to be lonely I think
Put chicken in the slowcooker for a sunday dinner later.
That's about all I have to update really x0 -
Don't forget you can chat to us in diary land when you feel lonely at night. It was a lifesaver for me when Mr SA was in hospital xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Zoo was fantastic hidden, it was cold and windy but we really enjoyed seeing all the animals. In the afternoon we chilled in the sunshine while the kids played in the play area.
Eldest was upset when we realised soft play was limited to 4'11 so spends on hot chocolate cake to cheer her up.
Off to water park tomorrow.

Thank you SA. It's surprising how lonely it feels despite having 3 smalls here
It was actually nice to have ExOh company last night
Not sure what the plans are for tomorrow yet, the weather stayed dry todayWe got a long walk in through the nature trail and woods. Went into local town and had a picnic in the park down there. We also took advantage of free softplay
Can never have too much of free things :rotfl:
We've made Chocolate apples yesterday and done pumpkins.
Think we will do something crafty tomorrow too.
I have took some pictures to print off when I find somewhere so the smalls can stick them in their scrapbooks they've made into a diary.
F1 was by far the best race of the seasonOn the edge of my seat for the majority of the race!

The weather stayed okay didn't it! I was surprised, I thought we'd end up wet today.
Glad the zoo was good, might have to squeeze it in this week now I know its worth it. We have tower tickets too for one day.
Thank you for stopping in x0 -

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
