Our First Family Trip To The World... October 2013 PTR

[T16GEM]

Really enjoyed reading your pre trippie, we are there in October from the 13th to the 3rd Nov, we will be doing MNSSHP as our Dd Will be turning 8 while we are away and this is what she has chosen for her "party" do any of you know when the tickets and dates etc are released? It doesn't seem that long away really but still nothing has come out?

I'm pretty sure that the tickets go on sale in May x

Welcome back - your photos are beautiful and your dogs look amazing! How exciting to be returning with your family - we too will be returning (not till 2015 - saving the pennies) as a family. Our last trip was for our 1st wedding anniversary in 2006 which set the broodiness in wanting to return next time with a little one to experience the magic with us. Happy planning

Anyone who volunteers to put in extra hours for Ofsted deserves time off in my opinion! I've gone through Ofsted more than once too and I don't think it ever gets any easier! I personally didn't mind having inspectors observing my lessons but I hated the amount of extra work and time that goes into trying to show the Ofsted team what you and your school are capable of

BTW - cute birthday pics

Then I have individual tabs for each day I'm there where I fill everything in for what I hope to achieve that day etc.

This is the first year I've done the DDP so I will be adding in the ADR numbers/locations etc in there too.

Happy to send you a copy of my sheet if you pass me your email address, although you sound really organised so I bet you have one too!!

Oh, that sounds amazing. I loooooove things like that. I'm chasing my tail all of the time lately, I'd love to see your sheet!

I hear it was May? I'm so excited, that's ADR time for us! How lovely to be able to celebrate your DD's birthday! I can't wait to hear all about it ~ maybe we'll see you there!!

Aw, thank you! It will soon come around, and you'll be having your first family trip like us! I'm super broody all of the time

Thanks! I got even cuter photos (I havethem on my blog) and it was so much fun (although sad for me as they are growing so fast). Ofsted is such a pain ~ we got oustanding thankfully so hopefully they'll stay away a while!

So sorry I've been away; I had no idea there were responses!

Well, today we registered for the Wine and Dine weekend's Jingle Jungle and the children's races too! We are so excited. I'm updating more on our blog (the link is in my signature) as I go along, so please drop me a line I would love to hear from you!
