Oh Dear!

It's been half term from school this week and I really hoped to be posting about how much fun we had had, but it's turned into an absolute disaster (said in my best Craig Revel Horwood voice). Katherine has been very poorly with another urinary tract infection, requiring a trip to the Dr's, antibiotics and vast amounts of Calpol. Despite antibiotics it has taken four days for her to return to her normal self. Today has been the first day she has woken up without crying and complaining of a headache.

We've managed a few trips here and there and Gran has been here too which has certainly helped a little. The end of the week saw myself, Rich and the older two heading to Flamingo Land for a day out. I'd really like to say we had a wonderful time but we didn't. There were highlights - I very much enjoyed the sea lion show and a couple of the rides we managed to go on were fun, but over all the day was written off thanks to Imogen, behaving appallingly. Maybe I expect too much from her at very nearly eight, but she really did spoil the day, with much sulking, whinging and tantruming (is that a word?!). In the end we left early and really wished we hadn't bothered going at all. I didn't even take many photographs which is most unlike me at all!
I hope you are having a much better time than we have this half term. I'm hoping the last few days off are much better here too.
