….with laughter!

Sorry for the lack of correspondence but I have been on a hen do this weekend and without internet connection (yes I had to surgically remove the laptop from my lap!).

This weekend I have been crying a lot but for the first time in a long time it was crying with laughter. This weekend was the best tonic.

I have been at Centre Parcs in Longleat for fun and frollicks as one of my best friends is getting married in three weeks! We have been friends for 16 years and she deserved the very best send-off. I could tell you about some of the very amusing encounters of the weekend but I feel they would be those ‘you had to be there’ type stories. I tried to explain to G some of them but it didn’t work - so people will never get why one hen now has a picture of Henry 8th as her profile pic! But it is definately true what they say that laughter really is the best tonic!

I don’t know if anyone has been to the Aqua sana but it was blissful. I had the most relaxing spa treatment in the world. I had the scalp massage where you lie under a warm duvet whilst someone massages your head. I could have slept there all day! My new lovely hen friend had a Citrus zesty floatation therapy which sounded amazing and I might treat myself to it when I go in May for G’s 30th birthday.

It is rather strange being on a Hen do completely sober for the whole thing but will be worth it at the end of it. I didnt need any wine on Saturday night as we laughed so much, proper belly laughs where your tummy hurts and the tears roll. So funny!

The tiredness seems to be taking over all of the time but I managed to see midnight both nights! The spots seem to have all gone (touch wood) but we have a new symptom. I seem to be experiencing morning sickness without actually being pregnant. For about the last five days I have horrendous nausea that I just cannot shift. I havent actually been sick but its horrid.

To the gorgeous hen - I hope we managed to give you the send off you deserve! We have been through the best and worst times in the last sixteen years and I love you with all my heart. I know that you will have the loveliest wedding and I cannot wait to make you look like the most beautiful bride - I wish you had more confidence and saw the beautiful girl we see.

On Thursday night i felt hopeless and now I have that positivity back - thank you hens - and thank you to my new friends.

Night all
