Holiday

Well we were away last week on holiday, it was FABULOUS! we had a great time while we were there & the both girls loved themselves.

We stayed in Fort Augustus Chalet Park (www.fortaugustuschaletpark.co.uk) we had a 3 bedroomed chalet which was great as it meant both girls got their own room. Me & Chris had been there twice before (in the 1 bed chalets) and love it.

The weather was great (esp for Scotland were it always rains!) the wettest day was Wednesday but we missed it, we went a drive to Inverness & drove through the rain on the way there & back again, at Fort Augustus there was only slight rain for about an hour when we got back then it stopped, so we missed it by being away :)

We done lots of different things with the girls, we went to Inverness, explored Fort Augustus, went the the childrens petting farm (twice), went to Isle of Skye (we went to Portree while there) by going over the bridge, we went to Eilean Donan castle, Urquhart castle, the Nessie exhibition centre, we went on the Royal Scot boat for a trip around the loch on a search for Nessie (she was well hidden while we were there lol) visited the Telford bridge in Invermorrison & went to see the "map of Scotland" view-point at Glen Garry as well at lots of other stuff.

We spent a fortune on the girls but they are worth it :)

Chris got me a lovely silver chain while we were away too, it has a thistle pendant with an amythest (my birthstone & also its purple my fav colour) the leave on the thistle are in a loveheart shape too, I really LOVE it, as well as him :)

Nearly holiday time but lots to do in the meantime!

Its not long now till we are off on our holiday to Fort Augustus, I cant wait, I so need a break away from the house & everything that goes with it.

I have loads to do before then though, I have a report to finish and an essay to start and complete also by Friday (cutting it VERY fine at the moment on getting this all done) if I don't want to have to do it while I am on holiday & then rush to hand it in on the 16th Aug when we get back as that is the final due in date. I will need to study a little on holiday though which I don't mind too much, half an hour to an hour a day isn't too much and I can do it in the mornings when everyone is getting ready or for a bit at night when everyone goes to bed as I have an exam that I NEED to pass on the 18th Aug, if I don't pass I cant continue my honours which I would be devastated at, I am really looking forward to going back to uni just now, mainly to get away from the house & have something to do, as much as I love being a mummy it gets me down being at home with the girls all the time.
