3/9

Holiday Eve

I don't know about anyone else, but our holiday always starts the day before our holiday starts!

It's the day that.....

·       we finally get ourselves 'holiday prepped'
·       we do all those last minute "getting ready for our holidays" household tasks that can't really be done until, well, the last minute. 
·       we occasionally shout out "Yayyy, we go on holiday tomorrow".
·       our family and friends start ringing or texting to tell us to have a great time (T's brother got in early & rang last night).
·       we confine the remnants of the diet we've been (half-heartedly) following to the bottom of the deepest darkest waste bin.
·       we look totally happy in a totally vacant "we're totally away with the mixer" type of way.
·       the already excited butterflies in our tummies kick into overdrive and start having their own independent party


So today - with it being the day before our holiday starts - our holiday started! and we

·       both went to get our holiday haircuts and then spent the rest of the afternoon finishing the packing
·       sorted out the central heating, light switch timers and a zillion other little things we need to do to make our home safe and secure for the next few weeks.
·       checked if our dog, Pongo, is being spoiled rotten at my sister in law's (we took him down to Leics yesterday) and yes, he is 
·       had a fantastic, traditional pre hol dinner of steak, chips and Budweiser(s).
·       occasionally shouted out "yayyy, we go on holiday tomorrow".
·       got our snap happy heads on and took pictures of the aforementioned dinner (delish) and the suitcases (heavy) piled up in the hall.
·       steadily increased our level of excitement to the now familiar 'perpetual silly grin' stage.
·       had an absolutely fab day.
