    Ooh lovely a new grandchild 😊 I wouldn't be at all surprised if my DS and GF had a third.

    Congratulations on your news 😊my DD has decided that she is categorically sticking at two, her youngest little boy has been a bit challenging to say the least so it's put her off 😀

    Booking a trip to the Canaries could be doomed , we booked Friday , only flights but we shall see. For anyone who says fancy booking a holiday this year , yes I somewhat agree but things are changing constantly and Covid 19 is still an unknown entity . For all these people who say fancy booking a holiday to Spain, I would rather take my chance on the Canaries than in a. British pub , or on the beach at Bournemouth. 
    Have nearly sorted my mums 80th ordered a cake and sorted a caterer . We are having a family do at home in the garden under a gazebo in the afternoon with staggered times so everyone sees my mum has a drink with her and food . 
    Have bought a couple of baby bits for DD and got some banners and balloons for her birthday wherever she celebrates it. 
    I am getting ready to book a couple of NT places for week after next as I am on childcare for 2 weeks . Going to try for mostly outdoor activities if we can.
    My car is due it's MOT on the 3rd August , hoping it passes . 
    The best bit of all these things is I am paying with savings which is the best thing ever to me . 
    Enjoy Sunday . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    I’m sure you’ll be fine for October. They’re trying to reinstate the air corridor with the islands. Tui have just reinstated holidays to the islands from tomorrow but cancelled mainland until 9 August. I expect Jet2 will follow suit. It isn’t fair on the islands as they are more or less COVID free and a long way from the mainland.

    Doesn’t seem fair to the islands at all. Hope you get to go.
