Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a mosquito in the room. Christie Todd Whitman

BITES!!!!!!!

Aaaaaargh!!!! I'm covered in them the insects have a particular interest in my arms which are now covered from the shoulder down to the fingers in small to the large bites.
my arse has also taken a battering and if you've ever smelt insect repellent who in there right mind would EVER use it.

Now blue bottle flies are like Kamakazi Japanese warriors they have no fear and fly at you at over 200mph, particularly nice when in bed, asleep and you get hit by said fly and you hear the bzzzzzzzzz before they fly off again. I have so far chased several around the bed and a few have gone off to a better place RIP little flies :(

Had a very nice day today woke late (again) country air hmmm!!!! and then we set off for the beach at Pakefield. Beautiful day couldn't have asked for better. All loaded up. You should have seen the girls face at the fish and chips shops when I asked for 9 portions of chips. This was also repeated later on in the day in mcdonalds (well cooking for 10 is an awful lot to ask of anyone) and hubby had all the kids lined up and individually asking for their order! Apparently there were 3 people on our order, one of chips, one on drinks and one on burgers/nuggets lol ( a little queue had formed behind them lol). We now have more mcdonalds happy meals toys than you could shake a stick at.

Had lots of "ew theres sand in my face, feet, eyes" etc but on the whole everyone was happy. Little milk monster wasn't content (of course) with staying in his mini tent. 3 buckets and 3 spades were purchased for the 3 younger ones (although should have got one for the 20 year old too lol) and lots of grand castles, moats were built 
and then (of course) kicked down :(.

Must get some wind breaks as it was flippin freezin on the beach and I had my back to the sun all day and now have a (ONE) red shoulder, pretty!!!!!
Before too long the kids were bored and it was time to go home (good job we're only 40 mins away from the beach now as we could never stretch out a whole day).

Journey home : 2 cars and country lanes = hassle when running out of petrol. Luckily for my car load I got lost and ended up in Beccles and filled up at the Tesco garage 131.6 impressed by price. Hubby not so lucky as he went the right way all the way home and bumped bumped bumped all the way down the a140 until we reached our garage (we were following him by now after receiving an SOS from them) and hubby did a punch in the air when he glided into the forecourt :).

We need a whole list of do's and don't nowadays, biggest one must fill up car on journeys as not many garages around lol!!!!

Last night with a full house and although its been good, looking forward to the peace that 3 kids instead of 8 brings :)



TTFN!!!!!
