Oh I am so looking forward to watching the tennis this weekend. Will I be travelling up there to join the crowds? No. (I haven’t got a ticket)Will I be partaking in strawberries and cream? No (I’d love to but I’ve got to think of the swimsuit I’ll be wearing in France soon). I’ll be sitting with some friends maybe drinking a bit of the pink stuff and enjoying the atmosphere infront of my own TV. Good luck Murray we are behind you.

When I was young I had a crush – yes of course we all had crushes, but mine was rather strange, it only occurred for two weeks a year and to be honest the person in question was quite revolting – but I couldn’t help it, I fancied him.  Maybe it was his temper that gave me a thrill of the passion that lay beneath, or the passion for playing made me wonder things I shouldn’t. 

However, even though this young’n was not much to look at and his fashion sense was dodgy, I must have a sixth sense of spotting a potential winner, because I tell you, now, he is absolutely gorgeous – Yes some men improve with age and John McEnroe definitely has

So the eldest JP has gone off to Thailand for only SIX weeks (six weeks of a tidy bedroom!) Along with five of her Princess Pals.

So therefore you get six JP Mums wishing them a fond farewell with some parting advice

1/ Don’t take anything from anyone especially bags containing white powder!

2/ Check your bags before entering the airport for said bags of white powder!

3/ Wheel your bag in front of you so no-one can put anything in your bag - JP has been practising

4/ Always go everywhere together  YES all six of you - YES even to the toilet - YEEESSS even inside the cubicle

5/  Peel all fruit and veg even in five star hotels

6/ Only drink bottled water that you can see is properly sealed.

7/ When drinking alcohol keep your hand over the top of the bottle - except when obviously drinking 

8/ Sleep with your mosquito net, your insect repellant, your insect plugs and don’t sleep with anything else!

9/ Take all your pills including vitamins for fending off stomach illnesses and mosquitoes (PG no-one stops them at the airport for having 2000 white pills between them)

10/ No finding any boyfriends (they could be drug barrons)

11/ No bungee jumping or any other extreme sports including shopping - you will need to learn a new word - BUDGET

and LASTLY

RELAX AND HAVE A GREAT TIME
