Checking in for our Portugal Holiday…

We thought we had booked Monarch airlines for our trip to Portugal at the beginning of July, but it seems that it is actually Jet2. We can check in 28 days before we actually fly so we took a look tonight.

It seems that Jet2 charge £24 to check in online (Christ knows what it would cost at the airport on the day) and £5 per seat each way (on top of the fact that we have already paid for the flights), then £36 to check a bag and best part of £10 for a meal.

Guess we should have read the small print in mor detail as we are now down a further £160 and we haven’t even arrived at the airport yet (or even packed a bag!!)

Cheap flights my ass.

Poorly Olly again :-(

Poor Olly is coming down with tonsillitis again today 🙁 It started yesterday and today he is wanting to sit on out knees etc – the usual sign that he is about to experience the soaring temperatures and bright red angry tonsils 🙁

We have a birthday party for three of the girls in Elliot’s class at the Playstation in Ossett, so we will need to ensure that poor Olly is suitably calpol’d up to get him through the fun and games of the party.

Looking forward to having the tonsils out so that we (hopefully) rid him of the issues…

Bikes – better late than never :-)

We finally bought Elly a bike that is the right size and took him out tonight for 30 minutes to get his first practise on the new wheels. Within 10 minutes of daddy just holding his shirt at the back he told daddy to stop holding his shirt. OK, so let’s see what happens we thought…. wow he was pretty good considering he has never rode without training wheels – proves that the strategy of getting them going in the scooters may have worked….

Check out the short video to see his progress – and keep watching for Super Olly at the end 🙂 time for him to get going on a bike with pedals it seems….
