Egypt - Monday - 28th June 2010

We had all the booking forms and paperwork so we got rid of our cases and throught the airport really quickly and found food, by the time we were done it was time to board! We had good seats and films to watch and it was late so the flight was fun and quick. I'll not dwell on my nervousness at take off and landing... But I survived - that's what mattered!

All we had to do once we got our cases back was get a taxi to the hotel...we knew we were close due to the reviews we had read about the hotel... Ppl had said you could wave to the pilots as they took off and landed!

EGYPT - THE HOLIDAY!! 28th June 2010

Well, we are going to Egypt today...I woke up thinking okay...what do I have to do today? I have to clean the house, get shopping in for Harriet who is staying here part of the time we are away...order shopping online for Yvonne and Stuart who are staying here the other part of the time we are away, get my hair cut, get Connor's hair cut, finish my packing, make sure the twins are packed okay...give the cats plenty of fuss and food......errrr that all seemed manageable as the taxi wasn't due to pick us up until 18:30

The day flew by...the hairdresser messed up Connors hair and cut it too short. I said "the most important thing for him is to keep the length so just trim it please" he heard "just cut all the length off and completely change the style to something of your choosing". Connor, took it better than I thought he would and I actually thought it looked better but I was still furious with the guy who did it!! Whilst I was doing this my phone was on silent, Andy was in Tesco where I was to meet him afterwards and by the time I checked my phone and realised...he was pretty mad! I tried to out-do him on the 'I'm really not happy level' in an attempt to shift the conversation away from 'I've been calling and I'm stood here not knowing what to buy and everyone else in tesco is over 80 years old and just shuffle along like the living dead....and you wont answer your phone...blah blah...."

anyway we mutually decided that we needed to chill and stop stressing so we bought 12 Krispy Cream doughnuts and stood outside Tesco and ate 3 each. After the sugar rush we carried on with everything we needed to do...and finally had everything organised, ordered, cleaned and packed by the time the taxi arrived!
