Holidays

Last week we went to Center Parcs in Elvelden Forest, Suffolk. We stayed in the hotel so had to rely on the restaurants for food. Most were fine, I only had to make adjustments a couple of times like no cheese on pizza and no sour cream with Mexican. The only awkwardness I had was when I asked for a cheeseless pizza from the takeaway service. The operator asked why I needed it to be without cheese and told me "Well it will burn". When it arrived it was fine and loaded with toppings. I don't know if this was the usual amount they put on or whether they just did it because there was no cheese on it. Either way I way very happy with it. There were lots of places offering coffee but it seemed that Starbucks was the only outlet offering soya milk. The only other disappointment was that there weren't many lunch options, it would do well just to have a café with sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc. We did get a free bottle of wine and chocolates from the hotel as apparently one morning there wasn't any hot water although we weren't affected by it. The staff also put my teddy bear Edward in a funny position which made me and the boyf laugh as he is constantly leaving him in silly positions. There was lots of wildlife about and we saw a variety of birds as well as squirrels and rabbits and even a peacock!
We came back yesterday after a dreadful train journey with lots of signalling problems and delays. Today I have treated myself to a new handbag from New Look made even better with my student discount! Although the shop assistant did eye me suspiciously as I unfortunately no longer look 19! I also got some great handbag size handcream in M&S for £1 and BUAV approved as well, along with some gorgeous tarka dhal soup which went down well for lunch.
I got into a pair of cropped white linen trousers which I bought last summer and have never been able to get into! It's measurement time next weekend so hopefully this is a good sign!

Until next time vegheads
