suzyscottdotcomIt’s a Sunday, and the flat here is a hive of activity. I’ve caught up with everything, even gone ahead a couple of days to do CMA43 (Computer Marked Assessment) for T175 (due in Thursday), meaning I’m actually ahead.
Why, you may ask? Well, we’re on holiday tomorrow for most of a week.
We were looking at a number of local coach operators for a holiday this year, in contrast to what we’ve both done before. The price differential was actually rather surprising. However, I came across Woottens 2009 online brochure, which had a rather nice five days/four nights in a hotel in Irvine. In just 16 days from today, Caroline has her 50th birthday, and she was born at the Ayrshire Central Hospital in Irvine (the one off the main road bus routes), and her parents stayed in Stevenston, although moving to Dundee soon after. So, Caroline agreed to book that for the both of us some time ago, and I’ve not said much about it here, but have done so elsewhere.
After going out on Friday for work (it was brighter than I expected, otherwise I might have done a little more), and shopping on Saturday (including a huge saving made in the Lush store in the Lion Yard's current summer promo, well over £50!), we’re now preparing for tomorrow. (Some of my random pics from Friday and Saturday can be seen via those links).
Anyway, we like, and it’s all good. Aside from getting up at 0400 on Monday to get the 787 coach to Hemel Hempstead for the coach pick-up!
