And getting to play tennis with my husband for the first time ever.Worst: Mr Almost 3 picking up not one, but two separate but equally virulent viruses from the Kids Club, bringing them back to our room and sharing them with all of us -yeah, thanks. And then after two bad nights due to teething, the one night Miss 9 Months was trying to sleep through, her brother wakes her at 3 am with his delirious screaming. Holiday with small kids?? Contradiction in terms. Best: being at Club Med Lindeman Island and not having to cook or clean for a whole week! And getting to play tennis with my husband for the first time ever.

BEST – Finally getting my green Ps after seven years on my red Ps, and not feeling dumb anymore that I couldn’t pass that silly test (not sure how i managed to fail the first two times…)

WORST – Being two months since my mum died, and being a total bitch to my boyfriend because I’m so angry and lost (and don’t know what to do about it) that it just ends up coming out as bitchface
