Yesterday was a nightmare of a day- my four day old laptop died on me- after 5 hours on the phone to the HP tech department, it turns out that there's a major fault with the new Windows 8 system. They advised me to take it back for a refund. Unfortunately this all happened on the day that Comet went into administration, and after driving 50mins to get to the store we were told to come back tomorrow for the refund. The store happened to be on my route this morning on my way to Centre Parcs, but when arriving there, the manager came out and informed us all that the store wouldn't be opening until 5pm ARGH! Luckily my Mum was down the road visiting my Aunt, so we hastily arranged a meet up so I could give her everything and guiltily leave it with her to try to deal with tomorrow.

The trip to Centre Parcs was a belated hen do for my friends Claire and Sarah. We all arrived in the afternoon and after receiving our party bags and downing a few shots, we head straight for the pool and the rapids/flumes/lazy river/death slide. We spent the night eating and drinking in the chalets. Having never been to Centre Parcs before, I couldn't quite believe how huge it is, and how nice the villas are.
