Default Happy Holidays???

Well.....I've just finished packing (yet again :scared: ) for our first hols to the uk. Has anyone ever been this excited by the prospect of Birmingham before? I doubt it

I'm hoping that Pollys theory is true that going back reminds you of why you left and I hope to feel that I'm coming home when we return in a couple of weeks. We may find that we're going too soon, its hard to judge. Anyone got any pearls of wisdom on this?????

Not at all helpful I'm afraid (no change there then!) but I look forward to hearing how it went when you return!

Don't forget to stock up on your marmite/dried peas/baked beans before you return!!

Hope you have a fantastic time Michaela, it'll be a long time till I can get over there, so I'm relying on you to test my theory!

Hope it all goes well, see you when you get back
