Counting down to chilling out!

[Hilary]

DH and I are off on Saturday for our short Florida trip , 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 so I'm now officially taking a break from the decorating and have started my 'winding down'

I can't wait ...

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

 

[Hilary]

but please put work in on a trippie!

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

Ooh - and will you be having any romantic moments , 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

 

[Strommie]

Have a lovely time

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! 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!

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

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

[Hilary]

Thanks for all your good wishes

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

What, at our age?

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'.

Have a great time Hilary.

I'll clear the dining room reday for your return. You do remember offering to decorate it for me, don't you?
