Squirrels and Sizzlers - Day -1 - The one with the wrestling
The alarm went off at 7:30. Today was the start of the best holiday ever and guess what? I was full of cold and felt like death. Typical! But, lots to do and I won’t let this ruin my holiday so...power through!
Brought the suitcases downstairs and went through all the clothes I’d packed for Ross to make sure everything was ok for him. I’d packed him 8 pairs of shorts and 8 t-shirts which is more than I had packed for myself! But unfortunately it wasn’t enough for him and he wanted to pack two more of his t-shirts. No, absolutely not. And that was the end of that conversation! I had a shower, got ready and tidied the house up by 9:30 so I got Oliver up and prepared myself for a few tears, it was going to be emotional! While Oliver was having his breakfast Ross came downstairs with two t-shirts in hand. After asking him what he was doing I was told that one was to wear tonight and the other was to wear to the airport... erm do you think I’m totally stupid Ross! Are those two not the same t-shirt you were trying to pack before? Go and put them back! Bless him! Can’t blame him for trying! My mum came round at 12:30. She was going to spend some time at mine cleaning and tidy for me! I have it so easy! After last minute sorting and more Oliver cuddles and more tears from me we finally kissed goodbye to our boy for 2 weeks and left the house with the bags and our dog, Bella at 1pm. It was going to be soooo hard to be away from him for so long but I was just going to have to come back with lots of presents and the promise we will take him there one day! We stopped off at the chippy and picked up lunch then went to Ross’ sister Gemma’s to drop of the dog at her holiday home. Gemma has Bella’s sister and they enjoy playing together so I had no worries about her missing us! Went to Ross’ mums to eat our chippy lunch then set off to the airport hotel at 2pm. The roads were nice and clear and the car music of choice to get us in the mood was... Of course! We arrived at the airport at 4:30 but unfortunately the satnav had a bit of a tizz and sent us off the wrong exit of a roundabout and sent us on a half hour detour! Anyways we arrived safely at the Hilton at 5, said our goodbyes then Ross’ mum set off home. Checked in and paid for the room, a whole £51! Good deal on hotels.com! We took the bags up to the room and had a look at our lovely view of... the car park! We got ready and headed out at 6 and got a taxi to arena. We got in and bought a programme, £15 if you can believe it! We both bought a hotdog and a drink which cost £14 in total if I remember rightly. The show was GREAT! We had really good seats and had such an amazing time! And I got to see my favourite wrestler, John Cena *Swoon!* I won’t go on about it because most people won’t give a monkeys so I will just show you a few pics... Mega swoon! It finished at 10:30, we got a taxi back to the hotel and where asleep by 12. I’m shocked I could sleep at all to be honest, it was like Christmas eve!

Great start Alix. Your room at the Hilton looks nice. I know who John Cena is but that's about it - I'm getting old!

Thanks!
John is my fave, I'm slightly in love with him! It's ok though, Ross accepts it! I love it too! Although every since we got home the When You Wish Upon a Star song brings a tear to my eye!
