It rocks.
It truly does.
I have proof.
We spent every evening at the kids disco.
No, not all night, are you mad? Just till it finished at half eight.
The kids danced, the adults drank, well, ok, we danced a bit too. And everyone was happy.
Miss E was a funky monkey, and Miss M shook her thang very convincingly. It was hilarious.
Mr B was all puffed up and proud that his kids had a certain amount of natural rhythm, (what with him being a drummer and all), and it was a great way to tire them out so that when we got to the villa they would sleep and we could all stay up and play addictive games such as Perudo, and chat till the early hours.
(Perudo is fabulous. You should all buy it. Honest. According to Stephen Fry, it is “The second most addictive thing to come out of South America!” And I totally agree.)
Anyway, back to the disco.
Miss E worried me slightly when she did this.
Yes they had padded concrete columns in the kids Disco.
And yes, Miss E decided to straddle them.
I have no idea why, except she loves to climb and has a current infatuation with horses.
Otherwise, erm, I will be steering away from any possible career path this action may inspire.
I mean, I have nothing against pole dancers, but, you know, it’s not something I’d choose for her.
Although, obviously, I wouldn’t stand in her way if that was really her dream job…
Ok, maybe I would.
Hmmm.
I must take her to see a real horse.
Though not this one.
How rude.
Oh, and one more thing, a big thank you to the fabulous, intelligent, witty and wonderful Dumdad for bestowing me with this…
I am so behind with awards at the moment. I have a few to bestow, so I will get to it soon I promise.
Oh, and I ate no chocolate, though it seems I have come back to a chocowar.
Be strong choconots.
We shall overcome, reign victorious, never surrender etc. etc and all that stuff.

Very glad you received the award because you always make my day. I love the sparkly pink shoes and I would stand in the way of a pole dancing daughter, too.

Ahh thanks Mrs Weasley. You make my day too. And Miss E loves her ruby slippers.

Great to hear you had a good time!
Dare I ask what Stephen Fry thinks is the first most addictive thing to come out of America?
January 16th, 2008 at 4:58 am
if stephen fry says it, i believes it. i too wish to know what the first.
i have heard good things about centre parcs. then i looked at the price. okay…some other year….

I’m with you on steering her away from a career in pole dancing.
But I’m very jealous of her shoes and if I had teeny, tiny feet I would take them for my own.
Keep have a wonderful time!

Ahhh, Cami, I love you too.
Ingenious, hmmmm, I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess at the first…
Holly, Center Parcs costs a bomb. We saved up to go for my dad’s 60th last year, then booked again straight away to get 25% off, so that helped. We’re planning to go again next April so it gives us plenty of time to save, and we should get the 25% off again. It’s perfect for a long weekend as it’s only about 10 miles away and the kids love it. Also, we have 2 villas between 13 of us, so that helps with the cost.
If you get chance, get friendly with someone who works there as they will be able to get you in on a cheap day pass, or, erm, get some mates to go, then you can visit them. It’s worth it for the kids. Honest.

Well, since he did say South America I think you can all guess that it’s white, powdery, addictive and caused huge wars down here in Miami during the 70s and 80s.
Love the picture of your pole dancing babe.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Cablegirl, you just might be right hon.
And Miss E does look cute doesn’t she. Hee hee.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:45 am
I know that horse, honest. Have had three hols at Longleate Centre Parcs, each time it was a blast. Superb blog you have hear lady.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:47 am

January 16th, 2008 at 10:30 am
