A Friendship Recipe!

We had the best day ever yesterday at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, it was fantastic....we managed to get on all the big rollercoasters & me & KT went on a few of the younger ones just cus I loves Alice In Wonderland!! lol
The best ride that beats the Pepsi Max & all the others rollercoasters that we went on, was one of the new kiddie rides in the Nick part where they've got loads of rides based on Spongebob, Rugrats, Dora etc!!! 
We went on this Spongebob ride a bit like the Spider at fairgrounds....but you have waterguns & oh we got soaked but I haven't laughed that much in a long time.....today I have hardly any voice but it was worth it!!!
Thanks to my gorgeous hubby & fabby girlies for making it a
 fantastic day loves ya xx 

Well its Saturday again & that means a new challenge over at
