Getting your holiday hype on
A recent You Gov poll found that only 31% off people get excited when packing for a holiday, and that, once they are there, 1 in 3 woman spend time every day worrying about their weight.

I visited lots of different and diverse places, from the Art Capitals of Europe, to the ultra modern skyscrapers of Dubai and Kuala Lumpur, to the blissful idyllic beaches of Thailand, the land of smiles. But I felt less inclined to travel so far afield with a young baby in tow, and so the last few years have been restricted to package holidays in Menorca and time spent enjoying our caravan in Snowdonia.
