One last thing about our holiday...
I can't believe I forgot to mention this!
Walking down the roughest (but, funnily enough, the flashest - satellite dishes and everything!) row of "chalets" towards the end of the holiday, we heard a woman say, "Have you done that, Jamie Lee?"
David crammed his fist in his mouth to stop himself laughing, but I didn't think it was so bad. There are worse people to be named after than Jamie Lee Curtis. It could have been Jamie Lynn (Spears).
But then I heard (and thankfully, David missed it because I don't think his fist could've saved him):
"Put your flip-flops on, Shania."
Genius.


Charlie's mum is fostering a 5 year old called..... wait for it.... Shakira!!!
The poor girl :-(

I was named after my cousin who was 10 years older than me (my mum and her sister both calling their daughters the same name??!) she then became known as 'Big' Joyce and even to this day with her 'weighing in' at 5'0" and a size 8 she's always referred to as Big Joyce! Typical family conversation may open with, "I saw Big Joyce up Bury today"

Working in a school I have experienced far worse name disasters than Jamie Lee or Shania. Howard often says that one of the criteria for being accepted at our school is having a stupid name.

Oh Keris, you could not live here! You and David would choke yourselves within minutes :D

I love the name Holly. But Jeff forbids me to use it. I'll let you think about that one.
