Phew, that was a busy week. Caroline is on the road to recovery, still experiencing pain, however feeling brighter in herself. Georgina has had a couple of offers from university, so she's relieved (just got to get some decent grades now). Alex is delighted, as we've upgraded our PC at home and he can now play his Spore game on it. I'm happy as the PC is much better specced than our last one and everyone can stop complaining now!
Thoughts are already turning to summer holidays. Georgina has her eye on a break with the girls once her exams are done. All was going well until they checked out their potential hotel on Tripadvisor and learnt that it was a total dump. They're back to the drawing board. We're having a think too, with the weak pound at the moment, everywhere is going to be expensive.
As an example, I was in Amsterdam this week, a pint of guinness worked out at around six quid a pint. The rip-off moment came when I was charged five and a half euros for a small bottle of Evian out of the mini-bar in the hotel, robbing so and so's. Worst is, I'd drunk two before I realised. More fool me.
We went to the cinema today to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Alex had spotted it in the trailers when we saw another movie recently. Definitely one for the kids, probably more for girls than boys. Don't go and see it unless you've got kids with you, honestly.
Week ahead is really busy, life just seems to be flying by at the moment, are you keeping pace?
