We're all going on a summer holiday...

Actually we've been, and it was only myself and Sean. After considering (for about 10 seconds) what kind of holiday we could take the babies on we decided that the most relaxing kind would be to leave them at home and go away ourselves. So last week, for one night only, Sean and I went on our summer holidays...to a hotel about a mile away from home.

Gran and Auntie Clo minded the babies while myself and Sean had 24 hours of monitor-free blissful peace and quiet. It was heaven. I woke at 9.00, which is the latest I've slept in 10 months. The babies slept like little logs while poor Auntie Clo and Gran stared at the ceiling for most of the night, waiting for a monitor to bleep. Welcome to my life! The memory of good food, lots of wine, jacuzzis, massages and cool clean sheets will have to keep me going until the babysitters have forgotten their ordeal and come back for more. Lets hope they have short memories!
