Well at last we’re on our way I’ve left the other pair in the room to watch Simpsons scoffing crisps and chocolate. I’m downstairs where yet again I’m paying (gasp) for wifi.

With all the stress of the last week I completely forgot to mention the lovely gifts that Mary Poppins (Head of Disney PR UK) sent me in preparation for our holiday. A large Minnie Mouse, fan, card game, autograph book and photo frame for Erin, I was touched, and Erin was thrilled, especially with Minnie Mouse and the fan which lights up! She also sent us a wodge of food vouchers for Disney which we can’t wait to use, I’ve booked a character breakfast already, can’t wait to see Erin’s face!

Our departure for the first leg of our jouney to Manchester went smoothly, apart from the last minute delivery of frozen food from Baby Deli which arrived just as we were leaving.

We stopped once on the way down for a quick coffee, which was expensive and crap, nevermind, nothing was going to dampen our spirits this morning.

We arrived at the Manchester Marriott at about half three by which time we were starving, we grabbed some food in the bar and then headed for the leisure club which was amazing. I steamed, sauna’d and jacuzzi’d, while Erin swam and jumped and Alex braved the plunge pool, he tried to get me to have a go, ha, does he think I have ‘eejit’ tattooed on my forehead, nevertheless we both agreed this was the way to start a holiday! The room is fab too, absolutely massive with two huge beds a settee and chaise longue. Erin’s been taking lots of photos, like mother like daughter eh! I’ve refrained from doing one of my videos, there’s time yet though
