I know, I love staying in the deluxe hotels.

I got the timeshare store email yesterday and thought of you when I was looking through it! You have enough to pay for at the minute without adding DVC! xx

Family Updates

I don’t have anything holiday related to report yet as we are still impatiently waiting for the flights to be released, but we have had a busy couple of weeks otherwise.

New arrival

Our large family of 15 has grown and is now an even larger family of 16! After having five girls between us, look at the new colour in the photos





This is Saxon, Michelle and Jamie’s son and baby brother to Sydney and Kori. He is lovely and sleeps a lot and it is very strange seeing blue after having 6 years of pink between us!

He is making Danielle get up earlier (when Michelle goes to Mum’s first thing with the kids), me rush home from work to have a cuddle before going to school and Bethany late as she drops Ryan to work first and he wants a cuddle with him too!

Swimming lessons

Kaley had her first swimming lesson on her own (we used to go to a baby and parent and then a toddler and parent class on a Sunday, but had to stop when the teacher left and they couldn’t get a replacement) and she loved it!





She was jumping around and splashing and having so much fun. She was really brave and I was really proud of her.

I had two weeks of them having lessons on the same day at the same time and then Madison last week got moved from yellow hat to green hat so their lessons are now on different days!

Madison and Kaley’s birthday (and Ryan’s)

We were on holiday for their birthday last year so this year was never going to be the same.

Some photos from their day last year











They were spoilt again this year as usual and had lots of lovely presents.









We went out for lunch to a local pub/restaurant for Ryan (we try and remember it is his day too! ) which was nice.

Later in the afternoon we had the girls’ party at our local karate school. They set up a bouncy castle and bouncy slide in the main room and also have a mini fun factory, like a Wacky Warehouse-type thing, along with a large room for food and parents.





They had lots of fun and got even more presents which they opened the next morning as it was late when we got back and they were both tired.



A new countdown

Danielle and Dave are going through a very stressful first house buying experience (the different solicitors in the chain not communicating or working to the same dates, grr! ) so they decided they needed a holiday. She mentioned a weekend at Center Parcs but that it was really expensive. I jumped at the chance to invite ourselves as we had cancelled our planned November week as we didn’t want to take Madison out of school for a week.

So, we now have a 30-something day countdown to go to the new Woburn Center Parcs





We told the girls’ on their birthday that we are going here and they are so excited as they love Center Parcs. Just need to get the holiday form sent into school as she will be missing the Friday and Monday!

We are really looking forward to seeing what this new location is like and can’t wait to go.

That is all for now, I think. Thank you for reading!

You've made me really excited seeing the photos of Center Parcs!

What lovely photos of the girls on their birthday I love that photo of the 4 of them eating on the sunbeds from last year!

How cute do they both look in their swimming costumes

This time next year xxx

Thank you!

Being on the cruise for Christmas should be amazing, something completely different to do.

I'm doing as much research and reading on cruises as I can.

I know, there was loads on Google of the pool area and it looks so good.

I love that picture too!
