Your probably right OC.

We're now settled into our Blackpool hotel room. Knackered.
We got here at 11.30am but couldn't check in till 4pm. So we walked the full length of Blackpol and back  ;)

That's the second time this week I have been told that - just had someone I know return yesterday who ended up with blisters on their feet - enjoy anyway

Just got back from our first 'cruise'!  8)

My cousin and her partner live in Dorset and have a narrow boat, which they've been sailing(?) around in since May. They've been round Macclesfield/Stoke area this week so travelled to see them yesterday and had a nice three hour trip on the Macclesfield canal.  :)

Seriously - Majorca (Carla San Vicente) in three weeks time! :-)

@Alsatian, Just noticed the date. Have fun  ;)

We're off to Cornwall in the morning, back Monday  8)
Hoping to go to the Eden Project and a couple of other places whilst we're down there.
Also, apparently Premier Inn charge £3 a day for wifi, worth paying instead of using my unreliable mobile wifi dongle  :)

Went to the Eden Project today. £23.50 each to get in, was it worth it.  :-X Glad we went though  ;)
I've posted some pics on my facebook account.
Here's a link to them on Photobucket.

Here's a couple of shots that I took that I really like.

Lovely photo's Fly - I think I may have thought twice about paying that amount to go in though, is the time unlimited once you are in?
Picked good weather weekend as well it registered 23C in the car yesterday

Decided to eat at the 'over priced' place next door to the Premier Inn we're staying in.
(We have been eating at the Weatherspoons up in the town, way cheaper LOL)
Walked in, collared a table, I walked to the bar to order, but the lass wasn't sure if the table we had picked was already booked.
She asked another member of staff who informed me that that half of the venue was now closed, if we could wait 15-20 minutes he would have a table for us. We walked out, so crisps and chocolate for tea tonight  :-X

BTW, we walked into the venue at 7.30pm  :-?

eeep fly thats bad :(
Just realised whilst reading through the posts I never updated on our Jollies earlier this summer.
Twas Hope Cove down in Devon, was absolutly gorgeous. Weather was fantastic. There isn't that much to do in the little village itself however  it was easy enough to entertain ourselves on the beache(s) there were 2 beaches not massive but decent sizes. The sea was clear so wasn't too frightened to go for a swim! Saw some lovely little fishies...
Went to the local pub for lunch and some drinkies with the bro and sis in law. Laura celebrated her 5th birthday there too, most of her day was spent collecting snails.
Had a trip to Salcombe to see a boat race and to have a looky round also a lovely place to visit! The cottage we stayed in was great. OH and I shared a room which was ensuite. FIL and step MIL shared a room with ensuite, bro in law had a room and Laura shared with sis in law! So very roomy and could easily accomodate the 7 of us.
So all in all I reckon we will return to this lovely little place again :)

the sea :D

and OH and Laura
