My Week #30

Welcome to My Week #30.

I am now somewhat back on track with posts (More to come of the Filofax Photo-A-Day, Weeks 3+4)

This week I am calling my Skeggy Week (due to the fact that I was in Skegness most of the week)

Welcome to Skegness

Week 30 - Part 1

The weather was fabulous (we did have some thunderstorms, but they cleared really quickly which was fantastic), so on Monday we headed towards the beach to relax (I read Amy: My Daughter - Mitch Winehouse, a very sad book regarding Amy Winehouse's life and her battle with drink and drugs).

We also took Thomas to a dinosar themed park called 'Lost World', it wasn't too bad but me and my partner think they were still building most of it while we were there (this theory was confirmed by news report on the local news when they were opening).

As you can see the sun was out in full force. We did spend some of the week at Fantasy Island due to Thomas having a weekly wristband

Week 30 - Part 2

The holiday camp we were staying at had their own arcades that dealt out tickets, so we spent some time acquring tickets for thomas to get an Angry Bird cuddly toy (2,000, but we ended up getting 2,876 tickets overall)

On the Friday, us adults got day wristbands and managed to get on some of the rides at Fantasy Island, I was overjoyed to get on the Millenium rollercoaster as the last time I had been on that was with my grandfather years ago.

We came back on Saturday, but spent some time on the sea front as the local RNLI was having an open day and were launching their rescue boats at 3pm

We had a good last day, my mum won a bottle of wine, we watched the launch of the rescue boats, and had a last ice cream of the holiday.

Overall last week was a great week.

Thanks for tuning in

My Week #29

I know my Week 29 is a bit late but I was away last week with family, so better late then never:

Week 29 - Part 1

Most of the week was spent packing for our trip, so it was a very quiet week. I did go to a Partylite Candle party again and roped myself in to having my own party as well.

You can also see that I have used the travel checklist from Lime Tree Fruits, this was brilliant as it made me excited for my holiday and allowed me to make a list of things that I was going to need.

Week 29 - Part 2

We went Saturday morning to Skegness, and spent the time in a caravan (wasn't as bad as I thought it would be). The camp where we were staying had pantomimes on every night so we took my stepson to most of these. We also spent some time at Fantasy Island (a theme park), where we got my stepson a weekly wristband for him to go on the kids rides.

Thanks for tuning in

Primark

So something different today, I went to Primark last weekend for a nosy at their holiday range and here is what I found:

Haul for holiday

I grabbed a blue and white striped beach bag to put towels in and any other essential items that we may need, I also saw the union flag on the black bag (as its waterproof i can put my kindle in their while I'm on the beach. I also saw the black and white spotty cosmetics bag (I am gonna use this as a travelling stationery pouch, I will do a post on this) I also thought the red backpack would be good in the car to put my stuff in, in the car.

I will blog about the items when they're in use.

Thanks for tuning in
