    Thank you all for popping in, I hope you've all had a lovely weekend.

    We made the holiday but have come home early. The weather was good over the weekend, dry and bright. This morning it snowed :eek: and it hasn't stopped raining today. It gets expensive when you can't do the free outdoor things.

    The kids had an amazing weekend. We did the zoo/beach/soft play/parks/sand park etc. We didn't stop from Friday morning until we left today. It was quite spendy :o We spent in the arcades and in the club which we don't usually do. The girls had character teddies too.

    Worth every penny though!

    We are all home and warm now, unpacked and the washing machine on.

    Good to hear that you ran some Easter eggs off them before you had to come home. :)

    Isn't it lovely to get a wash on when you get home? And a cuppa? And your own bed? #honestlyIliketravelling
