.......and he took it suprisingly well!

Was going to wait until Xmas but figured I didnt want to spoil xmas day if he flipped about it :erm:

The kids were on a sleepover so we went out for dinner and as he polished of the last of the wine and had a happy glaze in his eyes I thought Ahhh Ha... this is my chance to tell him :d:

I was worried that he wouldnt be too keen at all, but he said it actually sounded fun (I could have passed out with shock) :omg:

He asked how much it cost and I squirmed for a bit then said ''more than you would be happy with but less than you think'' I said he has always trusted me in the past to arrange all our trips and has always enjoyed himself and I wouldnt do/book anything that I knew we would struggle to pay for.

I really went on and on about the 24 hour a day availability of food which I knew would win him over, and the fact that he wouldnt have to drive anywhere and could really relax - I think it worked ;)

He was fine about it thank God, and we have decided to still keep it a secret from DD's until Xmas :D

It was quite funny, as we were on our way home I asked him what went through his mind when I said that 'I have done something that you might not be to happy with'

He said 'I didnt know but had a fair idea it involved you spending money' :pgig:

I am having a postcard from Castaway Cay off Mickey and Minnie saying -

Dear Beth and Katie,

We would like you to be our very special guests and join us on a cruise on our ship the Disney Wonder! It has all been arranged, and we will see you on 13th Jan as we get ready to set sail,

Lots of love, Mickey & Minnie mouse


I am going to put the postcard in a great big box that they will have to dig around in to find :D

You will probablly be able to hear the screams of excitment in the UK :d:

I'll have to remember this line as DH doesn't know about the cruise and I probably won't tell him until I ask him to drive to the port :D

Let us know how your DD's react when they find out

Great news - you can relax now Sam and look forward to it! Don't know how you'll be able to keep it from the girls till Christmas though! Better make sure Mickey doesn't mention it on their PDPC - I'll remind him it's a secret!!!

Pam.
