Have a lovely holiday and relax

Thanks all
The weather was amazing. However we came home early (yesterday) as all 3 smalls have been overtaken by the most horrid sickness bug I've ever come across. It all started Sunday and there's still no signs of it leaving them. I did relax where I could though and sat out in the sun with time to just think and plan and read (maybe drink slightly too many coffees and eat too much cake)
So on the back of the holiday being a total disaster I am going to book something for in the summer holidays
Not MSE I guess. However I think we haven't even spent £20 the whole time we where away and £6 of that was on calpol :cool:
Hope everyone is well

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.

Morning lovely,
Hope that the smalls are feeling much better today
I definitely think that you are in need of a second holiday and I'm sure that it'll be great.
Have a great weekend xx0 -
