Woolly, we used to go to Sunny Hunny from there! 😁☀️

TheWoollybacksWife · 25/03/2018 19:58

Do you know where it is Fluffy? I can PM you the name if you need me to.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/03/2018 20:41

I did a Google and found one in D or one in N. I'm assuming it's D as that's vaguely your end!

SallyDog · 25/03/2018 21:02

Is it W L farm park woolly?

I went in up to my ankles in my wellies 😂. Getting DDsvwarm after is a malarky though!

TheWoollybacksWife · 25/03/2018 21:04

That's the one. 🐏🐑🐓🐇🐄🐖

SallyDog · 25/03/2018 21:11

Grin then yes, I did have my 5th birthday party there. It is brill. I haven't been with my DC but will definitely take them when we visit. Do they still have the troll bridge?

And more your end Mrs, I used to go to Folly Farm on my childhood annual holiday. I'm trying to persuade DH to go to Wales for our next holiday. I have so many lovely memories from north & south Wales.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/03/2018 21:57

WL is the one I thought! I wonder how that managed to pass me by all these years?!

I imagine it was some parental conspiracy or other...🤔🤔🤔

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/03/2018 22:39

I took my DC to a Farm Parks years ago (in Dorset) they went to Farmer Parmers and another one with horses and small pets.

They had a huge indoor stable of female guinea-pigs , parents had to catch them . The fat lazy ones were easy to catch but I was determined to catch a skittery baby one (I kept guinea-pigs as a child and have some now)
I put it on DD lap , she wasn't keen , so I had to cuddle a nervous guinea-pig and a shaking daughter. It didn't put her off , we've kept guineas for the last 6 years now.

I scoffed the Christmas Pudding , it was perfectly rounded rather than basin shaped , but a bit meh . I think they need a good dousing of brandy flames and steamed rather than microwaved.

We're almost 100 days' away from last Christmas. Xmas Shock Where did that time go?!

We have Farmer Ted's and Windmill Farm round this way. Both are expensive and both are a bit 'meh' to an extent! We've only ever been for birthday parties, it has to be said.

The one down Woolly's way does sound good, however, so we will consider that one.

I'm on the train to work...3 working days until I finish. Woooo and argghhhh in equal measure! My task list still looked a touch Hmm on Friday, but hopefully by the end of today it'll look more healthy. I have a plan, anyway. But best laid plans and all that.

70, what a shame your pudding didn't live up to expectations. We had some of the banana cake and custard last night. That was really nice! 😊

Mrsmadevans · 26/03/2018 09:11

Morning all.
It is a beautiful day here, not turned the heating on this morning for the first time since l don't know when !!!
Sounds like we all had a wonderful weekend yay!
Have a good day in work Fluffy get it sorted for the off lol!
Easter plans in progress , flowers for the graves for Easter done, just off for a walk to the Goldcliff and to Tredegar House to see the gardens before the crowds descend Grin, children not broken up yet so we should be ok. Going to a Medieval pagent Friday and a visit to see the weeping poppies and the Mappa Mundi in Hereford Cathedral planned with DD1 for her break so all good.
Have a great day everyone take care Grin

Morning! I'm having a big breakfast and a banana today. 😋🍳🍌

When I got up this morning, DH said, "Hello! I didn't expect to see you up this early!" I pointed out that the DC break up on Thursday, they haven't had their Easter bonnet parade yet! 😂

FridgeCut · 26/03/2018 11:28

Morning all! Doesn't it feel like spring has sprung! Children are off for Easter, they are playing in the garden. I really should hang some washing out.

WreckTangled · 26/03/2018 11:41

We break up for Easter on Thursday. I have a quiet week at work this week which means I will spend most of my office time eating BlushGrin lovely sunny day. What's the betting it rains for the whole of the Easter holidays?!

I'm trying to plan what we're doing, so far have got a few good things in;

Cinema
Eater trail at local gardens
Trip to see my sister in Kent (overnight)
Trip to London
Local farm park probably twice at least
Haircut and measure of feet Grin
Hospital for me Hmm
Meet other sister and bil for lunch as they're down
Go see my grandparents/mum/step mum and dad
Easter egg hunt with friends

That's it so far I think!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 26/03/2018 12:00

We're doing an Easter trail at Morden Hall Park, a NT/Cadbury one, the DC are going to my aunt's from the 11 - 14th, the intervening time will be mostly chilling out I think.

NoWordForFluffy · 26/03/2018 12:43

Our two went to the dentist with DH today, so that was a good start to the holiday! 😂

We're actually away for most of the holidays really, so hopefully they won't get too bored.

I'm feeling ok about my workload for now. See if that changes when my post arrives!

Holiday - 2 days and counting! I'm currently harbouring germs of some description; I had raging ear ache, headache and sore throat last night. It's 'just' a sore throat for now though, but I didn't bother with the cross trainer this morning! So, I'm on the train on the way to work. See how I get on with my task list today; it didn't look too bad when I left it yesterday, and I have a plan for today! 😁😂

The DC seemed to like going to the dentist as there's a massive set of teeth with a toothbrush they can play with in the waiting room! Small things!

WreckTangled · 27/03/2018 07:37

Can't wait until the Easter holidays. Got some really boring work to do before then though which basically involves driving miles and collecting things. Have about thirty different places to go. Blah.

WreckTangled · 27/03/2018 07:44

34 weeks until I go to lapland!!

Mrsmadevans · 27/03/2018 08:33

Evening all!
