Bagpuss Report post Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) New car, with towbar, safely in garage...........been trying to book a site all day, but had probs. The one we wanted couldn't take us with an awning, too busy and our second choice couldn't make any bookings due to their systems being down.....so we found a third, and I got an email tonight to confirm our booking. It's going to work out at �15 per night, for all of us Our B & B was going to cost us �145 for one night. So, on Friday morning, we'll be heading off to Ayr, we are seeing Ian Jordan on Saturday morning, and we will be back on Monday.........3 nights, which hopefully we ( I ) will enjoy The loo's look clean in the photo's Picking van up tomorrow evening, and have booked a place in a nice storage site nearby Edited August 20, 2007 by Bagpuss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted August 27, 2007 We're back! We managed to get to Scotland with the van still attached to the back of the car, which is an achievement in itself Got to the site, and some fellow campers helped us to put the awning up (discovered it had no groundsheet ), and they helped us sort out where the water,waste and leccy thingummys went. I was desperate for a cuppa, and had bought a new kettle, so as soon as I got into the van, I filled it up, and couldn't find the flex. Not a good start! Eventually got all sorted, and went out for something to eat, and buy a new kettle. Went to supermarket, and bought same kettle, with DH under strict instructions to check it had the blooming flex this time, and it did, inside the kettle So when we got back to van I checked, and yes, I had filled up the kettle with the flex and plug inside First night, DH and eldest dd decided to sleep in the awning, but woke up at 3 am to discover the inflatable beds which had come with the van had deflated Girlies loved the site, and especially youngest dd, as she could have some freedom. She was able to go the park with eldest dd, and their faces were a picture on an evening, when it was all dark, and we had to walk through a woodland path, to the loos, in our PJ's. They loved the fact it was so quiet, and not crowded. On Saturday we totally invaded poor Ian Jordan and his wife (sorry Ian ) Youngest dd (6 ASD) does need glasses, and has chosen some Barbie ones. Ian's wife felt dd's turn was so slight, that the lenses shouldn't cause a problem. She may also need some blue tinted lenses at some point. She did well bless her, but began to find it difficult towards the end, and we left it for another time, so she didn't feel too pressured. Eldest dd (9 AS) fine, although we have ordered her some glasses with green lenses, as she showed a preference for this during the assessment, and found that the blue actually hurt her eyes, but unsure if she'll wear them. She didn't seem comfortable with any frame on her face, so will try to introduce them slowly at home. Turns out ds (13 NT) had the biggest probs We hadn't intended to have ds looked at, but Ian thought he had some visual probs, so he assessed him, and the results were incredible. We have ordered him some frames with blue tinted lenses in. We found the appointment so interesting. I found I performed better with red lenses, and found I felt pain less, could see things more clearly.................amazing Unsure how DH would feel about having lots of red lights about the house though I hope Ian can explain this all much better than me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted August 28, 2007 Your lil monkey has a fab sense of humour I had my first tattoo just over a year ago, a butterfly on my back. Didn't hurt, had some cream which numbs surface of skin. I'd love another, somewhere more noticeable, but unsure where or what.........maybe something incorporating the kiddies initials, small, delicate sophiscated......................just like me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted August 28, 2007 I have a firmly repressed desire for a tattoo. My 50th has come & gone, & I managed to walk past tattoo shops going nononono...... I'd like a little dark gecko on my arm. S has a little viney leafy thing she designed herself, on the small of her back. She informed me of this over the phone in her 2nd year at uni. By the time I saw it, it had grown in my mind to a Tarzan-like vine, so the reality was quite a relief. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've toyed with getting a tattoo but think my family would disown me I would like a small treefrog on my hip. My daughter says I would look like a charver (chav to you southerners).
