A fun-loving mum went on holiday to Ibiza for just 24 hours - and was back in time for work the next day.

Claire De Stefano, 52, had planned to go to the White Isle for a longer break with friend Donna Duncombe, 50.

But when they couldn't make their diaries work they decided to go for just one day - without booking a hotel.

The pair left the UK at 6pm on August 12 and were back in their beds at home by 1am on August 14 - meaning they didn't sleep for nearly 48 hours.

Claire says she was then back in the office by 7:30am - and telling her disbelieving colleagues about her trip.

The mum-of-four, from Romford, East London, said: “We had wanted to go to Ibiza again this year for a few days but unfortunately our diaries didn’t match up.

"So, we decided to bite the bullet and just fit a day in. It was so nice to get away from reality and do something a little bit different rather than washing and working.

“I would definitely do it again. We are looking at doing more of these trips.

"We want to visit some of the other superclubs that we didn’t get to in our youth - when life and children got in the way.”

The pals finished a full day of work on August 12 before heading to London Stansted Airport at around 6pm to have dinner at Wetherspoons.

They landed in Ibiza just after 10pm and headed straight to a bar, before going to the iconic nightclub Pacha - where they spent all night on the dancefloor until 6am.

After watching the sunrise on the beach, they spent the day enjoying the sunshine with breakfast in the Old Town and some swimming in the sea.

They then headed to Ibiza airport to catch a flight home on August 13, before going back to the office for another day of work on August 14.

They estimate they spent £197 in total, including £62 on return flights.

Claire said: “We got into the club and soaked in the atmosphere, then we danced until 6am.

“There were some sunbeds out so we chatted there for an hour while the sun rose. It was beautiful.

“We changed into our swimming costumes under our evening wear and spent the day on the beach. It was a lovely relaxing day.”

The pair packed light for the holiday, bringing only their passports, a swimming costume, a change of underwear, suncream and a travel toothbrush in their handbags.

Claire, who works as a safeguarding officer, said that her four grown-up children and all her work colleagues had thought she was mad, but that she had an amazing time.

The mum and her friend, who is self-employed, are already looking for their next trip - with hopes of going clubbing abroad again in the future.

She added: “We had an amazing time. Everyone said we were crazy but sometimes you have to be a bit crazy. I need stories to tell my grandchildren eventually.

“The club was everything we had hoped it would be. It met and exceeded both our expectations, and we are eager to do it again.

“We are in our 50s but we felt no judgement on the dancefloor. Everyone was just having a good time together.

“I got to work at 7:30am and told everyone I was in Ibiza a few hours ago. They didn’t believe me. But you have to try everything once.

“It was our first time doing a day trip, but it certainly won’t be the last.”

The mum also said that she encourages more young people to go clubbing, which she believes has become a bit of a dying art.

Claire says that being on the dancefloor keeps you young and helps you to make great memories with friends.

She said: “I do enjoy going out with my friends and dancing- I always have done. I think it keeps you young.

“It is definitely a dying art. I have four adult children who never go out. I don’t think it is part of their make-up.

“I was clubbing in the late 80s where clubs were the place to be. Everyone used to go. That isn’t unfortunately a thing with the youngsters these days.

“It is a shame because we used to have great times back in the day. And we still do today!”
