Spa Time.....

... at 12 o'clock on Saturday my mum gave Dave and I a gold envelope...... she said "Right pack a over night bag with swimwear... your going away for the night..." So Dave and I looked at each other and say "Where!!!!" .... silence from my mum!!

After we got our bags in the car, we were presented a GOLD envelope with a postcode on the front....she said "drive to here, they are expecting you, have a nice time!"... so we set off!

Dave knew from the Leeds postcode that it was a hotel near Colton in Leeds, which is a Spa hotel. We arrived 20 minutes later to Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa..... nice surprise.. a night away from the house and the sofa...........that I have sat on for the last 3 weeks feeling bored, unwell, scared, anxious, happy and very emotional at times... so to be away from it all was a nice feeling!

We were booked in for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast and use of the spa. At the dinner table on the restaurant on Saturday evening... I nearly set the table cloth on fire!!! I was SO hot sat after being swimming etc. that I was fanning myself with a menu....after a few seconds....I thought to myself whats burning............I looked down at the candle and all 3 of my tissues are alight across the table! Dave hadn't even noticed..... It was an unreal moment and panic set in ...........AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Calmly I dabbed all the flames out.. the two woman sat to the side of us were watching "the show" and started laughing when I was shouting "OH NO! OH NO!" I eventually put out the flames.... and told our waiter about the incident... he just brought me another napkin to put over the burnt table cloth!!! It was very funny.. but could have been soooo much worse! We had a lovely relaxing night away and manage to keep our snuggy robes!! Thanks to my mum and dad!
