Sunday 3rd June 2012
Very exciting day, the last minute packing, sending the other half to pick up little miss K and J from Bude, handing over keys to Miss E for pet-sitting and general busy chaos!
It was decided that the kids would all go to bed early as we were going to have a VERY early wake up call. I however insisted on watching my American crap on the tele which finished at midnight.
The other half and I finished moving bags around and finally went to bed at 1am but couldnt get off to sleep. We must have eventually though because the next thing I knew is we were waking up to my alarm at 3am!
Monday 4th June 2012
I dressed really quickly then snuck into the kids room and woke up little madam first. The girls soon realised it was time to wake up and hurried to put on their dressing gowns ready for a very early breakfast. We actually got ready to go in speedy time and were waiting around for the taxi to arrive at 4.45am.
Everything ran really smoothly, we got the taxi to the bus station and found our National Express coach. By then it was 5.20am. Off we went very excited. Little miss J and little madam sat together and within half hour they were both snoozing. Little miss K sat alone and looked out the window. We drove past my old family home on the main road, the other half pointed out the house to her :-)
We made it to Bristol bus station for our change over although we had to wait there for over an hour. We amused ourselves by feeding the pigeons which had wandered indoors lol On the way to the toilets I let the girls go in the photo booth, we printed a picture to put in their cousins birthday card.
We finally arrived in Gloucester at 10.45am, greeted by my 'uncle' and his girlfriend. I shall refer to them both on this blog as Fester and Miss C. We piled all our luggage and selves into the cars and went straight back to the house. My cousin C* was also staying with us, he soon made friends with the kids :-)
We spent the rest of the day playing football, shooting foam things out of plastic guns and watching 'Finding Nemo'.
Tuesday 5th June 2012
Had to rush when we woke up as we had to find the three buses to my Nan and Grandad's house - baring in mind it was still a bank holiday!
I think we did really well! We got there just after mid day!
It was really nice to see my family, it had been agessss since we last saw them! They got on really well with the girls. Me and my nan even popped out to get them some magazines/colouring stuff. The weather was pretty naff so couldn't take the kids out.
Later in the afternoon my other Uncle and Aunt stopped by for a roast lamb dinner - mmmmm!!!!
It was a really nice day. Fester and Miss C picked us up in the evening. We went back to theirs and got the kids to bed.
Wednesday 6th June 2012
Fester had to work so we only had one car. Miss C drove peeps into town and I took me, little madam and little miss K in by bus. We decided to show the girls the 'Fish clock' that blows bubbles every hour.
That evening after the kids were in bed we watched a comedy dvd and then made plans for the next day - Thorpe Park.
Thursday 7th June 2012
Both Fester and I woke up at 5.30am and went downstairs but looked out the window in complete dismay. The weather looked s**t!!! :-( It looked pretty obvious that Thorpe Park would have to be cancelled however we looked up the forecast for the rest of the day. Yep we had to cancel so I went back to bed a slept for hours lol
When I woke up we decided to go bowling.
Team 1: Miss C, Little miss K and J and C*
Team 2: Me, The other half, Fester and Little Madam
Overall, team 2 won! (woop lol) on game one, little madam beat her daddy lol
The weather was still pretty rubbish :-(
We also decided to have a little 'party' so the girls could wear their dresses. It also gave us adults a chance to un-wind and have a few to drink. We all sang on Singstar! Both Fester and C* tried their best to beat me on 'The man who can't be moved' and failed lol! :P
Friday 8th June 2012
My Nan agreed to babysit Little Madam whilst we all went to the cinema. We decided to watch Men in Black. We walked into the cinema only to realise that the tickets had all sold out! We apologised to little miss K and J who had got so excited before hand. We decided to go back to the house and watch Bolt and eat the homemade popcorn the kids had made. After the film had finished Fester and I went to pick up little madam.
Bless her she had had such a good time! She was so excited to tell me about the 'swings' and the 'slide' lol We both said good bye to my Nan and went back to the house.
Miss C had already gone out as she had plans to go out with her friends that evening. We put the kids to bed and then ate our tea. I made Fester and the other half watch a really girlie film seeing as I had to endure football.
Half way through the film Miss C turned up and brought her friends - who had been drinking lol - home. They seemed really nice and carried on drinking. One by one they went home until their was one couple left, that's when little madam decided to wake up!
Saturday 9th June 2012
We visited my Grandpa, his partner Miss S and his mother M* at their 'new' house. It was so nice to see them all, again it's been a while.
We had yummy lasagne followed by meringue and home made ice cream. Then spent the afternoon 'playing' with hama beads!
The girls particularly liked playing with the dolls house. We took the cupcakes home with us. That evening we had to say goodbye to C* as he was going back to his mum's house. It also meant we had a spare double bed so the girls didn't have to sleep out in the tent.
We finished our last evening watching Michael McIntyre on dvd! soooo funny :-)
Sunday 10th June 2012
Whilst the other half and I packed up our things, Fester and Miss C took the girls strawberry picking. They brought back a punnet each and also some grapes.
We only just made it to our coach in time! We said hurried good byes to Fester and Miss C and thanked them for putting up with us for a whole week.
Eventually we were back in Plymouth. The other half's mum and sister met us at the bus station with their cars. We piled in and went home. Waiting patiently for me were two BEAUTIFUL kitty cats!!!!! Thanks Miss E and Miss S for taking care of our pets :-) x
