A Strange but relaxing weekend

The weekend has been a strange one. My son wasn't feeling to well. He went to his swimming lesson, but then he developed a temperature and so gave him some medicine, and then relaxed watching the football, as it was FA cup weekend and going to watch some of the matches today too. 


I can't believe that our trip to Bognor Regis was a week ago, and still got a buzz from that weekend, and would like to do more weekend trips away. If you have a place you'd recommend then please do. You can leave a comment below. 

It is hard when your kids are poorly, and there is a lot of bugs going around at the moment. I was breaking out in rashes and bad stomach. Thankfully using E45 products and a cream my step dad has, which I not sure of the name, has really worked. 

This is why you need to make sure we all wash our hands before touching food, after being a toilet and using cleaning products, and clothes are cleaned and clean the areas of the home, and have a good deep clean. 

Working in a holiday camp you'd pick up viruses and colds, and head lice, because of people not doing anything about it and so they just spread. I enjoyed my time there, and met some wonderful people, but many staff had bad hygiene, and so however how much you tried to not to, you'd pick up something. It was hard, but it is different now, and things have changed, and good, because if it gets passed to customers, then they won't come back and not enjoy their holiday. 

I look back now and do smile, because there were many characters. There was a guy called JC and we would argue over little sachets of butter in the fridge in the morning, and he would come out with bags of food as he left the camp, and outside we'd get on, and then there was a guy called Pat Malley and we worked together in the staff canteen, and was such a laugh. I could add more, but then, this would be a huge blog, but it was the one of the best things I did, just make sure you know you'd be sharing with others in the staff chalets, and you were responsible for the cleaning of them. I admit I wasn't always good and cleaned my room, yet when it came to the work, which was in the restaurants, would really would clean up leaving areas were shining, and also take personal belongings as there was stealing going on, and so protect your belongings and look your room door when you leave the staff accommodation. 

Rooms would be checked, and one of the members I lived with put a fork in the kettle, and thought it was funny, and were woken up by them, because there had been a boxing match that played, a famous one, can't fully remember but was woken up with banging on the windows, and you didn't know of who you'd be sharing the accommodation with, and was there for 5 years and will be grateful for the time I had there. 

When we get sick, it is important to take it easy, and if your child doesn't want to eat or your appetite goes that is okay. Make sure they or you hydrate drinking water and touch their head, their chest, cheeks and back if they are clammy. It can mean they have a temperature, along with a thermometer.

So, I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday and lets get ourselves ready for a new week.

Many thanks for reading,
