Just returned from 6 nights (yes, six!) at Disneyland Paris and it would be fair to say that I am all Disney'd out..! If I hear the theme from "it's a small world" one more time I might just take Mickey Mouse hostage and hang him ;-)

That said, we did have a good time, the kids absolutely loved it and the weather was fantastic for late September. We drove this time (having flown in the past) and it was much more convenient and flexible, especially with little-ones. Expensive though! Lucky I bough half-board vouchers so we ate in the restaurants - most costing £75+ for a simple meal for the five of us!!

Suffering from the same old "post-vacation blues" I get when returning to work after some time off... hence the time spent writing here. I notice I haven't been here for over a month - since August in fact (missing the whole of September - naughty me!).

Things with G are still a bit icy. I'm getting more and more contemptuous of her family whenever I see or hear from them... they make me cringe and they always seem to be around. Its a pain in the neck, but this year I've managed to balance it somewhat with lots of time with my own family.

Autumn is definitely here this week - its cooling down and getting wet. I would be looking forward to Christmas if my finances weren't in such diabolical state. Not quite sure how I'm going finance us next year - another year without contributing to my pension and selling all my vacation I guess. gee great.
