Spa Day :-)

But this time its not me - its Mr Messy!!! He is taking Drama Teen and some friends (is the group name for teenage girls, a giggle?!?!) to Alton Towers to celebrate her 14th birthday. I can't believe my baby girl will be FOURTEEN soon!!! Where did the time go?!?! Anyway, he has no intention of being ignored round the theme park by the teens, or spending the day wandering round on his own and has been looking for alternatives. After getting exasperated with him not being able to chose what else to do, I jokingly suggested he spent the day at the Alton Towers Spa. He laughed off that suggestion as ludicrous, and as he is unreconstructed Northern Man, I left it at that. Half an hour later he rang me asking what he would do at a spa, and would it cost a fortune! I looked into it for him and booked him a day's relaxation and a back/shoulder massage. I asked the receptionist to look after him - she'll recognise him by the fact he will look like a fish out of water!! I think a lovely relaxing day reading by the pool and then a massage will do him the world of good, as he's been working so hard lately. All of his team are off work at the moment, so he is left carrying the can on his own and its highly stressful, and on top of that he's been working quite a few weekends lately and hasn't had time to unwind. Hopefully this spa day will help :-)
