If I went to the shower and found a clump of balloons in there, I'd scream and run away to a safe distance of 50 miles, stark naked.

Looks like you had a fun weekend though, even though you stayed at Haven. :p

Firstly, if you're the one with lots of hair, you look like Alan Davies. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Secondly, yay for traditional seaside parks! I'm going here on Sunday with Dave, woo!

Looks like you have loads of fun, but what's with the cheesy chavvy 'hand-under-chin' poses? =]
