Soks - so glad you all enjoyed Thomas land, and that it was such a positive experience.
Trips - you also sound as if uou had a nice evening, I'm so glad, you deserved it.
Ruby & Shabs - welcome home to you both. I know you have a pile of washing etc to get through, but I hope you both had a wonderful time.
It was nice of Mr Mama to let I know what is happening, I am very worried for her as she always seemed to do too much. I just hope she is better soon and the babes are ok.
We had a great time at Alton Towers, after a very worrying, shaky start. First Bertie was very ill on Monday night, he had eaten something which upset his system very badly, and I came down to bloody diarrhoea and vomit all over the kitchen floor. We rushed him to the vet who gave him an injection and antibiotics to take, she wasn't too concerned, and she rang the kennels for us to make sure they were ok to have him still. The kennels were brilliant, they looked after him and Cleo really well. We then had a problem with the brakes on the car, so whilst I was at the vets, DH changed the brake pads, and we were finally away by 10.30.
We got there in time for the pm session at Splash Landings, Then went to the B&B, which was really nice (fantastic breakfasts
) then the 2 days in AT. Because of my ankle, we hired a mobility scooter, and we only had to pay for me and one DS, as DH got in as my carer
, and we had a voucher for the other DS to get in free. They also gave us a fasttrack pass, which was a real blessing, as some of the popular rides had queues of nearly 2 hrs
. Because it was issued to me, I had to do the ride if dh and the boys wanted to ride. I was brave enough to go on everything including Oblivion (never again!) Nemesis and The Smiler (made me v sick
) just so they could go on them
.
All in all, a great time after such a shaky start. Dogs are glad we are home, cats couldn't care less
