Rubbish Weekend

What a rubbish weekend. Saturday was mostly spent doing horrible chores. Mowed the lawn, took the old tumble drier and a bunch of other stuff to the dump, went to Sutton for lunch, went food shopping, went to my Mums so they could see Joe before they go on holiday, did some washing, tidied Jessicas room ready for her to come back etc etc.

Sunday we were supposed to meet Jess at Oxford Services on the M40, but we ended up having to goto Star City in Birmingham to meet instead. Then they were really late getting there because they were stuck in traffic, so rather than being home by about 2pm as we'd hoped, we were home at half past 6. We then went to Ele's mums for dinner.

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful, except for sorting out or holiday. Ele called the place to reserve a cot for our holiday to Cornwall in a couple of weeks time and they said they had no record of our booking! They then went off to check and came back and said they'd found it - FOR 2007!! Argh! Our email confirmation definately said 2006 so obviously somebody had written down the wrong dates somewhere. There was much frantic phoning between Honicome Manor (where we are staying) and Paramount Holiday Pass (who we booked it through at a FANTASTIC rate). They still had availability for 2006 though so it was all ammended, and Paramount even called us to apologise. Thank god we called to book a cot - otherwise we'd have turned up on the day to find all this out! Still they were all nice people to deal with apparantly (Ele sorted it out) and it's still a good price - £216 for the week, compared to the Honicome Manor site itself which states about £1500!
