On a lighter note

[sherrardk]

We are off to Chester Zoo tomorrow, got the stuff for a picnic so hopefully will have a nice day and five happy kids. (Down side is that we are having to set the alarm to get up as we haven't got up before 8.30 in weeks.)

Hope you have a lovely day sherr, bet the children will love it. Maybe they will be excited enough to wake up early anyway, though not toooo early for you lol.

I hope you have a sunshine filled day sherr. ( I wish I had 5 kids or grandkids for that matter)

Hi Daisya - they have taken to sleeping like logs (although thing 1 and thing2 are usually in our bed). Need to get up a bit earlier or the shock of boy #1 going to secondary school (with it's early start) in September might just do us in!

[sherrardk]

Thank you Micmak, they seem to have a good time wherever we go.

hope you have a nice time don't forget to look out for alex's relations

On a slightly dodgy note, my husband gets the tickets and sort of swoops his arm around in a vague manner to indicate who he is paying for in the hope that the ticket person will think thing 1 and thing 2 and under three (and therefore free). I pretend I don't know what he is doing but it always makes me feel uneasy.

Chester Zoo is one of my favourites too, enjoy!

Could be worse sher, he could be making them stand next to other people in the hope that someone else will get charged for them! Hope you have a great day.

Hi all - thanks for the good wishes, beats a trip to Aldi's!

[whiskeysheri]

My dad used to put my brother in the footwell with a blanket on top of him when we used to go to the safari park, and we put my ex in the boot last time we went, sherrard. :) Have a fab day!

Hi all - zoo was brilliant, well worth the drive.

Hi Lore - zoo was fab but it is huge!!! The seven and five year old were flagging towards the end of the day so I am ally pleased we took the single buggies for thing 1 and thing 2. Queue a bit slow getting in (wanted addresses for Gift Aid) and the butterfly house was a bit poor. The map is a bit vague and the sign-posting is a bit dodgy so you need to make sure you know where you are going before you start off. Everything else was brilliant - the monorail and water bus are £2 for adults and £1.50 for kids (we did both but the water bus goes round the back of some enclosures but the monorail is great as you get a bird's eye view of the lions, etc). Hope you have as good a time as we did today.
