Hello. Just got back from a lovely weekend away. My aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party in Wiltshire. We had booked to stay over on Saturday night, but when I realised we were off on Friday for sports day, we left straight from school and stayed 2 nights.
Diesel £54 but reclaim from work.
Dinner in hotel restaurant Friday night, kids split an adult meal and DD2 had soup.
Saturday we went to Cheddar gorge as DH had never been. £57.50 for a family ticket, open top bus tide, 2 sets of caves, museum. We didn't go up Jacobs ladder 274 steps (old, fat and lazy) but did everything else. DH paid. Ice creams £7.70 for 5 (less than I expected). Pub lunch, DH paid.
Party Saturday night, DH gets overly generous so I never pay his bar bill.
Got the bill this morning, £460!
Of that, £212 was the accommodation for 5. We could have stayed somewhere cheaper, but then we would have needed taxis. Also, my brother stayed nearby in a Premier inn, and his room was £122 for one night, and he still had to drive back to it.
DH paid £300, I paid the rest.
Hoping for NSD tomorrow, DD2 seems to have mumps!
