OK.... so you probably all know what I'm about to say. What on planet earth was going on with those ticket providers this morning?! Like the rest of you probably did, I opened my accounts last night on one laptop, my friend'd accounts on another device, and Paul had his on his phone.... the ONLY one we got through on was Paul's phone. And when I say we got through, what a PALARVA! We were 23,372 in the queue. Now, Heaton Park capacity is 80,000. We were hopeful. Not everybody would want two tickets and not all of them would have gone by pre-sale. So we waited and watched. Waited and watched. And repeated that. Paul missed his first train to Liverpool because we were committed and frightened the loss of WiFi would cut us off with approx 4000 to go! So it hit... IT'S ALMOST YOUR TURN. Pardon my pun but 'cue' me starting to shake...this was it! But no. It wasn't. What STUPID STUPID systems!!! If dates are sold out/only certain ticket types are available, TELL US!!!! We tried all options, like you all probably did, but not one option was doable! Absolutely infuriating!!!! So we are ticket-less people who have wasted a LOT of time (naive me kept clicking/refreshing when we got back from the train station and then after the BWFC match)....

Now that's another tale. Can't decide which situation is worse... wasting life trying to get tickets that don't actually exist, or wasting life on a football team who have lost the will to play... perhaps they wasted their morning trying to get Oasis tickets 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I'm due some prosecco soon to release the stress 🤣🤣 and then it's back to reality 😥 it's been a fab summer! But back to work on Monday, back to HEALTHY EATING tomorrow morning and aw sort of routine.

So if you need any help thinking of where to go for your next holiday then please feel free to message me to find out more or ask for a quote!

Happy last day before work fellow school people 😘😘😘

Oh and there are some "normal pictures" if you have any enthusiasm left from today to allow you to swipe!

P.S and please try to sort me out with some tickets

The end is nigh.... we are waiting for our coach transfer back to the airport now. All a bit tired from the earlier-than-usual wake up call but we can sleep on the coach, on the plane, in the car 🤣

Just had a chilled day by the pool yesterday and a bit of footy in the afternoon with the family we made friends with - result is picture number 9 🤣🤣🤣

Overall, a good holiday:
- Good food
- Good pools
- Good location
- Good drinks
- Good room

If you'd like to know more about then please feel free to message me 😁

I'll be back in action for any holiday quotes/information from Monday - will need tomorrow to work through the mounds of washing we have produced.

21/08/2024

Crikey... I didn't post last night because I was too in shock about how expensive (Colin) the camel ride was!!! We actually felt robbed!!!!!! I can't even write it down, I'm too embarrassed! (If you want to message me to find out, I'll tell you!)

Today was an early morning start... a trip to the Manvagat markets. Bought the girls two cheap England kits for a tenner each and a tracksuit..please see pics! Bought them so we can grow into them...in two years at the next competition 🤣🤣🤣 ... also found myself a good England shirt. Tried it on. Put it on hanger to remind myself. Girls needed toilet. Forgot about my shirt. Left without. FUMING!!!! Guna have to seek an alternative cheap Turkey kit or pay in England! (That will NOT happen!)

So had some lunch in Side overlooking the ruins and then went down to the beach with our friends. The beach is hard work with a tired sand-covered child 🤣🤣🤣 we were all dripping with perspiration....man alive! So hot!!!! We had a dip in the beach and then all felt like we were on the sun, got a taxi back and jumped in pool!

We had our second Al A Carte meal with our pals tonight...yummy Mexican! (See last pic for sombrero sillies!) Now we we are sitting watching the entertainment.

Peace out for Hump Day!

Zzz feeling the tired today! Been a full on day in the sun... pool and beach bar but constant hot sun!

We woke ourselves up earlier than yesterday because I was cross I didn't get an omelette at 10.03 yesterday - it shut at 10 🤣🤣 got one today and was pleased! Then it was slob by pool until Aqua Gym 💪💪

Had some grub after the 'well-deserved' exercise and then back to the pool for a bit. Eventually we then got our FOAM PARTY!!!!! So much fun... a little tender on the eyes but powered through. If you can spot me on the last picture, you get 10 points. And there's another picture - if you can spot Freya, I'll provide 20 points!!!

The picture that is of Freya holding a doll... needs explanation. This doll was spotted on evening number one. We detered her from buying it on day one because we said we would go to a market and there would be a cheaper one... we have not been to said market... yet! So each night, we have had to check it was still in the same place that she hid it on evening one (behind all the other teddies!!! I mean nobody would want to purchase such a doll... it's a bit odd!) and she held me to the promise of "Let's see if it's still there on Monday" 🤣🤣 it...was!

And now it's now... they are in the play centre and we are I'm view of that and the evening entertainment.... it's a Michael Jackson tribute night tonight....IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW! 🤣🤣🤣🤣



EDITED....I believe I put "slob by p**p" and no slob by pool. It is infact not true that we slobbed by a pile of excrement.... but actually a swimming pool!

18/08/2024

Can't remember where I left off yesterday! But unfortunately the foam party didn't happen... gutted but it did mean more slide and pool time! We have made some friends from Middleton who we have spent some time with and the girlsl have played with the children so all good! Meal and drinks and play centre last night... cats galore here!

Today was a beach morning followed by some FIT lunch food (check out my stories/highlights)... I'm not normally a pizza fan but the pizza was GOOD!!! Then we mooched back to the hotel pool and all was going (pun incoming) swimmingly until GPC (if you know, you know) banged her head on the pool wall attempting a flip into the pool.... game abandoned and egg appeared. Don't worry, she's totally fine now tho (see pics for cat pic and candy floss pic!)

Tonight was the first of our Al A Carte meals at ... super service. We opted for Seafood tonight (my choice - Paul chooses Mexican for later in the holiday!) A lovely little restaurant on the beach and the food and wine just kept coming! There were some cats mooching around which entertained the girls whilst we ate (why do kids finish so quickly at meals?!) And now it's now and we watch the entertainment- some acrobats who are shooting bows and arrows with their feet... might move back a bit from the front!

Hope all is OK with you guys :)

Hello from the J'adore Deluxe Hotel & Spa in Turkey!

Normally I do my posts at the end of the day but I'm lying on the sunbed in THIRTY EIGHT DEGREES heat and this doesn't normally happen so I'm making the most of the quiet sunbathing 10 minutes 🤣

Our flight and transfer went smoothly, as did check in. It's customary to tip apparently over here... now I'm not much of a tipper anyway and having to consider the exchange rate adds to the confusion... we ended up tipping the porter 1 euro in Turkish Lira 🤣🤣 don't think he was impressed - sorry Mr 😪

Had a quick dip in the pool when we arrived, quick change for tea (where G lost her bag but it has safely been retrieved...thank you staff!) and then ventured down to the beach for the entertainment. The girls didn't see too much entertainment because there is a fantastic play area right next to the seating area...win win.

Drinks and food available all the time on an all-inclusive basis can only mean one thing... supper at midnight! Serious diet needed in September!

Slept reasonably well and ventured to breakfast. Plenty sunbeds left when we got to the pool at 10.30 which again, doesn't usually happen so pleased with that. There's been some slide action (I'd give you a SLIDESHOW but I need to filter the pics/videos because pretty certain I've been filming the wrong kids) and some pool action so far... we look forward to the FOAM PARTY at 3pm!!!

Adios for now (don't know what goodbye in Turkish is.... yet).

(Last pic is for banter because I can't actually see a thing!!!)

Bit tired today guys! Life catching up with me!

So there's been some pergola building this weekend! Successful I say - swipe for pics! Sat out until 11pm last night making the most of it. Why can't it be sunny all the time?!

Saturday was a Bottomless Brunch at ... lots of Prosecco and wine was consumed! Crikey. It was great value though and the food was very yummy. Mmm.

Then yesterday was a trip to to watch Sleeping Beauty. Then a final coat of paint on the pergola and a chill in the garden.

And now it's now! A bit of packing going on for our hols... might have to switch off now and think of holidays/getaways....

This ultra-all-inclusive, modern, 5 star historical hotel offers a private beach and stunning sea views, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable vacation in Ixia and the Aegean Sea. The resort's prime location is ideal, with Ixia’s main attractions nearby, a 5 minute drive to Rhodes Town and its Medieval City, a 15 minute drive to the Airport. Akti Imperial boasts two large freshwater swimming pools - the main pool and a “lazy river” pool - set among lush gardens and palm trees. The “lazy river” pool flows directly into the main pool, complemented by a children’s pool.

A private underground passage connects the main pool area to the beach, where guests can enjoy free sun loungers and umbrellas. The hotel's 710 guestrooms offer full or partial sea views of the beautiful Gulf of Ialyssos. The modern rooms features all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. With its blend of modern facilities, affordable luxury, traditional hospitality, and breathtaking sunsets, Akti Imperial is the ultimate holiday destination.
