Activity for Kids -Day Visit to Butlins

It’s been a very long time since I have written my last blog. It’s been fun trying to balance working full time and three kids …..

As a child I used to remember seeing all the adverts for Butlins and the red coats ,it looked so fun . Unfortunately I never visited a Butlins resort until I had children of my own. My Mum used to get last minute deals abroad instead . I used to love them too so can’t complain. But very glad I can take my boys to Bognor for the full Butlins experience.  We have stayed a few times and have visited for the day a few time too. I really wanted to go as my youngest 1year old had never been. Thought I would go in the February half term as I had the week off work too. 

   
Online you can find this link with 10% off the day entry with this print out. It also offers 25% during term time. 

1. I would recommend this to all those who have never been before for a taster , or for those who only want to do a day trip.

Here are the day visitor prices 

 
We went on Tuesday 16th February 2016 here was the program for the day

  
My boys were keen to do the football coaching . We made it just in time.

   
    
   
We saw the Fireman Sam show at the main stage.

 Overall we had a great day , there is something for all ages. The kids didn’t want to leave . Will need to plan a weekend or week trip so we can enjoy everything . 

Weekend

Friday afternoon at work was good, had that typical Friday feeling of excitement,the weekend is here time to spend quality time with my boys.The plan was to go to a friends to get two of boys hair done. They have been growing it for a few months. Love it when it’s done but really find it frustrating when it’s the  in between stages . I haven’t got a girl so I should be grateful I get to do their hair . I can cornrow but think it looks neater when my friends/hairdresser does it . I do miss getting their hair cut and shaped up as I think it looks soo smart . But they want to grow it so I just have to be supportive. 

   
 
 Friday night was difficult as my youngest 11 month olds cough and cold got worse , he woke up having coughing fits and vomitng.Had the Calpol camomile and lavender plug in which was strong but didn’t seem to ease his symptoms too much. 

The news in Paris is heartbreaking so sad all those innocent lives lost💔💔

Saturday Morning had to call 111 and they sent me to my local chemist for extra services ,where they checked him out and prescriped Dioralyte and more paracetamols. They suggested to continue with cough medicine but I feel it was making him worse. 

So stayed home and got on with housework/ looking after little man. 
My Mum came round to spend the day , she got an uber cab home and forgot to enter the promotion code I sent her for £10.00  off her ride home🙈. 

Didn’t get much sleep Saturday night but managed to have a nap Sunday afternoon miracle . Think I needed that, woke up time to get the dinner on and continue with washing.

He seems a lot better today bless him just need to shift that cough and cold. 

Looks like I will need to sort out my eldest sons hair , as I didn’t a chance to get it done my friend this weekend.

Finalising party for my middle son who will be 8 in a few weeks exciting.🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉

After this week I’m officially on holiday from work until the end of December. Looking forward to attending the playgroups at the children centre and catching up with other mums and babies .  

Time to organise a party for an 8year old and a 1year old just before Christmas

It’s that time of year again Christmas is getting closer exciting times. I’m normally more organised but things are a little different this year. I have a new addition to the family and I’m still on maternity leave. 

I have the fun task of organising two birthday parties one for an 8 year old boy and the other for a 1year old. Only a few weeks left to organise a week apart and very close to Christmas.

Have a few ideas but would be happy to hear any fun reasonable party ideas you may wish to share. 

I’m more than happy to blog about my party experiences for any particular companies if used in the London/ Croydon areas .
