We have booked a hotel in Necastle near the Metro Centre for the end of this week, the boys (P & M) are booked in to grannies for a couple of nights, and we are heading Christmas shopping uuup North 🙂

Typically we have all picked up coughs and colds over the last week or so, but at least Elliot’s is looking like it may have cleared before we set of on Thursday.

Vicky has almost lost her voice (no bollockings for Simon then – or that he can hear anyway 🙂 ) and Simon is just being a typical bloke – thinks he is far worse than he is…
