Ok a easy drive down only took 5 hours the M25 was actually moving and the Dartford crossing was OK. Got to the Travel Lodge clean,small but it has everything we wanted. Then to my sisters,we arrived at 3pm, they were all waiting for us Mum,Dad.other sister, brother in law,niece and her boyfriend. Had a drink then spent the rest of the afternoon chatting. It was SOOOO boring. I thought so the 2 boys were beside themselves and Robert wasn't polite he kept saying so. Mum had ignored what I said and *organised* us for Sunday but I said we had other plans and she sulked the rest of the time but we stuck to our guns. Finally escaped at 8 pm a long day. The night wasnt good either all 4 of us were in one room and all the beds had plastic undersheets and every time anyone moved they rustled. I was wake lots of times in the night. D
