Counting down to chilling out!

[Hilary]

DH and I are off on Saturday for our short Florida trip :cool1: , and I'm wondering just how much chance there is of us taking things at a leisurely pace this time!

We seem to have spent every weekend for the last year rushing around up and down the country or hard at decorating / furniture removals / trips to the tip here (f-i-l's illness and death and my mum's house-move combined with our extension building and decorating) but, because we're not really sitting-round-the-pool types, I have a feeling we'll come back just as shattered as we are now ;)

In the last three weekends alone I've hung 13 rolls of wallpaper and glossed 15 doors :eek: so I'm now officially taking a break from the decorating and have started my 'winding down' ;)

I can't wait ... :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

You really deserve a good break Hilary, we don't mind you chilling but please put work in on a trippie! :thumbsup2

[Hilary]

but please put work in on a trippie! :thumbsup2
LOL! I'll see what I can do ... ;)

[Mrs Dazzle]

Wow, Hilary - you really do deserve a break. Darryl's idea of relaxation is to do anything but sit down, so we're often dashing around during time off.

The fact that you're on holiday always help - so have yourselves a good one :thumbsup2

Ooh - and will you be having any romantic moments :love: , seeing as it's just the two of you this time ;)

I'm sure whether you are chilling or not, that you'll have a great time Hilary

Have fun :)

Have a great time - a change of scene (and weather!) will do you good relaxing or not

We're not really 'sitting around the pool' types, either, but I do find it easier not to rush around the older I get. Or maybe, it's just that I can't rush around! :rolleyes1 Anyway, my brother came out with something during our recent trip which became the epithet for the entire duration - "It's our holiday and we should do what we want to do. If that means doing nothing, then that's fine (I'm paraphrasing a bit) . It actually worked rather well. Whilst we rarely stick to our itinerary, I do usually feel that there are things we 'should' have done and that we've missed out, or let ourselves down in some way if we don't fit in all our pre-determined plans.

So, you go away and have a great time and try to go with the flow! :goodvibes

Have a wonderful 'rest' Hilary :teeth:

Hilary I hope you have a wonderful trip! You deserve it :hug:

I am very worried about the amount of decorating you have done though :eek: Sounds a bit too much like hard work to me ;)

What, at our age? ;) ;) :love:

but I do find it easier not to rush around the older I get...."It's our holiday and we should do what we want to do. If that means doing nothing, then that's fine"
Yes, Debs, that's pretty much my view :) I also feel, now that we've been lots of times before, that there's not the same inclination to feel I have to rush around to make the trip 'worthwhile'.
