For the first time...again!

Wow, sometimes it feels like I'm often doing things for the first time. This either means that that I'm just a bit sad at catching up with things or... I'm not quite sure what!

Anyway for thr first time, I'm login on and updating the blog at an internet cafe - can't believe this is really a first for me!!

This week has been an eventful week, actually thinking about it, this year has already had a few events to write about, but I'm still positive and excited about 2007!! The week began at Netball on Monday when my friend (Lucy's best friend's mum), had a little collisionn and very badly sprained her leg, it was (and still is) very swollen and black and blue and she's now on crutches and has a air boot for a couple of weeks!

Then I got a stinking cold and the dishwasher decided to stop working (again!), but the most exciting was still to come. On Friday I had a fantastic day out shopping - spending some vouchers I had been given, I haven't yet managed to spend them all. I started off in Starbucks, did a few shops, met Gary for lunch, did a few more shops then headed home with quite a few bags. I had a great day.

Then (wait for it, this is the exciting bit!), in the evening Gary was filling the bath up for Lucy and I was on the phone, when a water pipe in the kitchen burst and water gushed out everywhere. At first we couldn't quite work out where it was coming from as it literally sounded like an overfull drain pipe. The Gary moved the washing machine to find the water spurting out, and he then had to move the dishwasher to turn the water off. All very exciting, in an odd kind of way! The new floor that Gary laid just before New Year is slightly ruined to say the least but the insurance people are coming out on Monday and will fix that.

So on we role to the next month...

English Country Garden

The other day I was doing Lucy's hair, and she started singing, that's not unusual - she often does that! Anyway at 2 and a half years old - I hear her sing "pull down your pants and suffocate the ants in an english country garden" although she couldn't quite say suffocate.

I was amazed, so I asked her, who taught her that song. She had a little think, looked at me and said .... "daddy..." surely not, then she started listing a load of names, obviously wanting to 'protect' the real culprit, who I found out later was daddy! She's such a daddies girl. Unfortunately as I laughed and then quizzed her about it she thought it was funny and kept saying "did I make you laugh mummy". Oh she's a one. So I told her it was a naughty song and later when I caught myself singing it she said "don't sing that mummy, it's a naughty song"!

The lunch hour!

Nearly got completed thrashed, actually have been totally thrashed at Table Football but not today.

The youth have bought a Table Football amongst other things (table tennis, air hockey etc), and at the moment it's in one of the rooms at the offices. So after a quick game of pool it's onto Table Football - I love the frustration and excitement of the game. When your men don't do what you want them to do (does that ever happen), and you look completely stupid swinging your men back and forth hitting air because you keep missing the ball.... or is that just me? And then somehow you score a goal. YEAH!!

Nothing like a bit of competitiveness in the lunch hour!

New Year new....

Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year - even though it seems like ages ago! New Year, new... I was going to say you as we're on a diet to lose a few pounds! But the New Year so far has been new things for the house. Washing machine broke last week, right after Lucy was sick all over me and her bed (not so nice), poor Lucy, but she's better now. Also the radiator decided to burst in the middle - spurting water onto the wall - not a big spurt but still a spurt. So New Year, new... radiator and washing machine (at some point), new flooring in the kitchen, new sofa bed and new wardrobes. Wow what a start to the year.
