ummmmmmm

Not even a mention of Mr Ice or Mr Hammer !!!!

Post congratulations to Helen whose birthday was yesterday. 3 birthdays in the space of 6 days.....madness.
Congratulations also to GRFC who beat Harlequins at the weekend to ensure they finish top of the league, not champions you understand as they will have to play either the second or third placed team in the play off final on the 31st May.

The garden shed update no 1 here
Ahhh I hear you say but what happened to the old shed James?

Well another year older and wiser(not), may I point you all in this direction.
My good friend Chris has put together a montage of images that were taken during our visit to New York and Orlando back in 92 when we were both much younger and better looking!

To be recomended

BARNUMINT BAILEYS

which I sampled last night, very nice indeed!

Also it was Rebecca's 6th birthday on the 23rd.

So here we all are celebrating (me, helen, rebecca and emily).

Very big thanks to everyone who wished us well / sent us a card / bought us a pressie

Try taking the Leonardo da Vinci test here to see what type of thinker you are!

This was my result

I have spent the day shifting bags of stones, sand and cement and chucking them into a mixer only to then pour it into the ground!
This will be the foundations of the soon to be completed (started last spring) garden shed. It will no doubt be the eigth wonder of the world.
Pictures to follow (assuming I regain the use of my arms and am able to stand up straight again).

My first birthday present!

Oh No!!!!!!

TV shows that are made into movies very rarely work, lets hope that this one does eh Michael!

I think I will stick to the day job and not become a TV football pundit.

It's true what they say, the old ones are the best.

My prediction for the game tonight

Arsenal 2 (Ljungberg 35 min, Bergkamp 85) : Man Utd 1 (Scholes 39 min)

...and at todays weigh in (11 weeks) Emily tipped the scales at 11lb 7oz

Take your daughter to work, no on second thoughts, she may be better than you!

- and straight in at number 1 - out of about 71,400
Hey kids, here's something to try if your bored in the Easter Holidays, go to
Google and type in 'daddy or chips' and see what the first returned match is.

Sorry no prizes for the correct answer.

Re : the hungrier baby entry : it is 05:39am and Emily last fed at around 12:30am taking 7oz of second milk and she has just had another 6oz, she is due to be weighed later today which should be interesting.....plus
we had a visit last night from the 'tooth fairy' as one of Rebecca's front teeth had fallen out earlier in the day, she now speaks with a slight lisp but hey worth it for 12p!

When I first saw this I thought it must be April 1st, to be honest Audley is not a great fighter but at 41 years of age Frank is just too old and slow, he should stick to panto.

I have recently added the Nedstat meter onto the site and taking a look I see that as well as good ole Blighty my site has had visitors from the US, Canada, Sweden and Malaysia. To all of you I say hello and welcome.

In the hope that it will increase the sleeping times of young Emily we are now giving her super strength second milk for the hungrier bottlefed baby, which so far seems to be working as for the past two nights she has slept for 6 hours which may not sound much to those of you used to 8 hours a night but to us it is pure magic. Whether or not it lasts remains to be seen but for now we shall bask in the glory of sleep.

Weekend horahhh, come on Gloucester

Take a look at this cool blog (I say this not just because I get a mention!) but because the site looks great and is easy on the eye.

Rebecca had her Birthday party yesterday, although she is not 6 until the 23rd it was a combined party with her friend Jake who was 6 earlier this month. She and Jake and 10 friends went bowling and although noisy and hectic it was a great party.

and here is a picture of me and Emily taken just before the party.

Emily was 10 weeks old on the 7th April and when weighed yesterday she was 10lb 11oz

Here are some pictures of Emily in her new Grobag it swamps her a little at
the moment but at the rate she is growing it will be quite snug soon.

Here is some sad news that I found today , I am sure you will all agree that this is indeed a sad day, for a*! w1n+ows users, wha1 i5 g01ng 0n, 5y5t3m k33ps cra5hing, 8lue scr33n 0f death!!!! The link is a bit dodge but it is genuine guv'nor!
