Morning ladies,
How are you all today?
Hope you had a good birthday Shawnie x
Well as you can see i managed to squeeze my laptop in, i didn't get chance to come on last night i was shattered, well i rung the train company to check for any probs yesterday morning and was assured everything was fine so we set off, we had 2 trains to catch with 20 mins between the 2, when we got on the first they announced the train would be running a bit slower than normal because of the snow, we eventually got into our next station with 2 mins to spare and were told if we didn't run the 2nd train was leaving without us, between us we had 2 small trolley cases and 2 large bags. Hubby insisted on carrying the bags (they had no wheels) and i offered to take the 2 cases if mil grabbed the kids, so we ran, we had a flight of stairs to go up the over a bridge and back down stairs at the other side, at the top of the stairs we ran up i put the cases down to catch my breath and one of them fell back down the stairs
, so i had to run down grab it and run back up (all this exercise better have shifted a few lb's lol) anyway we made but the train before had been cancelled so ours was heaving we managed to grab 4 seats near each other (the kids had to share) there was nowhere for the bags so we ended up cuddling them, as the train set off the driver announced that they probably couldn't take us to our final destination because of the snow and would most likely be leaving us a couple of stations away, he didn't say if they would be putting a bus on to take us the rest of the way so people were going mad (funnily enough there wasn't one member of staff to be found and to ask what was going to happen) i decided to ring a taxi for a quote cause we were going to be about half an hours drive away from where we should be. Anyway we got to the station where they had said we might be stopping and nothing happened we just sat there for what felt like forever, finally a announcement came over that we were waiting for the next train driver to arrive for his shift but currently he was stuck in traffice because of snow on the roads, this made everyone laugh. He got here (i felt a bit sorry for him cause he didn't even get 5 mins to himself he just parked up and jumped on the train, we set off and the driver did well he got us to our destination
and we weren't as late as i imagined we were going to be.
So we are here, there's loads of snow and the kids are loving it, we went to see santa yesterday and it was magical and the present they got was lovely not like the usual cheap presents you normally get. The kids got up at half 6 this morning even after a late night, they have just been playing out in the snow and loved it although their clothes are now soaked and they are both bright red from head to toe. We are off to see some reindeer after lunch and to watch a couple of christmassy shows, so i suppose i should think about getting dressed.
I'll pop back on later if i get chance, hope you all have a good day x
