What a day yesterday was! Ciaran's dad arrived just before 10am (slightly early!) and started loading bags into the car. I forgot to pack a couple things; toothbrush and straighteners but no big deal. Got to the airport and checked-in in plenty of time. Bit of faffing and then that was it. Got to London about 130pm and as I was wheeling Ben on his Trunki down a slope at Heathrow, we saw Jimmy Carr! He gave Ben a big grin and then he was on his way. Baggage recla...

My mum is now officially on her way! Makes it seem more real. Only a few days really until Jenny and Ben go, and only a couple of days after that until we're away. Ben and I are mostly packed, but Ciaran doesn't even have a suitcase yet! I ordered Ben a Trunki so hopefully it'll be here at the start of next week. All that's left to do is get the Christmas tree up and get the presents wrapped (apart from the last few bits and bobs to pack). Can't wait now!
