… Was yesterday. A great time was had by all. We had a party family tea. Pizza, curry and chilli. The curry was HOT! We also met Jules (Lisa-the-Sis-in-law’s) new beau.
He’s a real nice fella too.
Tom had a good birthday (yay) despite it being a school day (boo)

My mum had a fall earlier in the week and has hurt her ribs. So I’m off today looking after Ruby and ironing.
Lots to fit in though. I’ve just been to the school assembly where BOTH sons got certificates. I’m now stuck in proud dad mode.
Tom got one for being a smiley happy boy. Sams was for his hard work on his home research. Good lads. Terminally proud. I stood up so Tom could see me and tried to get him to do The Robot but he bottled it.
I’m going to do all the ironing then go and visit mum. Then get back to pick the boys up.
Then it’s our works Christmas party. Where (gasp) I shall be wearing a suit. That’s right a suit. Sadly no kilt though.
Such is life.
Easy now!!

Sam has been to a disco birthday party. This is after we all (minus mum) went swimming and for lunch. We had chip muffins then went to the seventh circle of hell (not Sam); otherwise known as Ikea.
Actually, it wasn’t sooo bad apart from having to carry Ruby every blummin’ where.
Settled down now. The boys are watching Merlin and the girls are in the bath.
Kitchen and bathroom cleaned by yours truly and all washing done.

I’m crying. Two girls whose dad had brain cancer. He died.
These children should not have to be so brave. No kid should. Worry about playing out or toys yes; parents dying or having to care for their families - no.
30 years of CiN. I’ll always watch and always donate. But why is it still needed? We’re not moving on are we?
World class telly as always mind.
Easy now,

It’s all about the water innit? Sam went to the heats at Saddleworth last night.
He didn’t get through to the finals. It’s basically cos he is in the 10/11 group now and getting trounced by the eleven year olds.
It’s what he did when he was in the 8/9 group. He just needs to pick up his pace a bit. I’ve given him a list of pointers so we’ll see how he gets on!
Still at large,

Bless her. Candles of snot from morning till night. And constant wailing.
Tom is currently singing on Boogie (Wii) game. He’s doing it because he knows we’ll have a go at Christmas and he wants to beat everyone!
Sam (being the independent type) has gone out with his mates somewhere.
That’s yer lot.

My swimming buddies. Tom is really coming on with his swimming. After his lesson he came for a swim with me and Sam. Tom did four lengths breast stroke without stopping. As soon as he cracks front crawl then he will be stopping lessons.
He is almost there - just needs to master the breathing.
Sam is off to Halifax thus evening for a swimming gala. He swims for Saddleworth juniors dontyerkno.
I’ll post the results later. Off out Christmas shopping now!
Cheers

My gorgeous girl. I’ve realised there ain’t so much of the boys on here so shall remedy that forthwith!

No words really. Cute ain’t she?

The boys returned from the hairdressers. Sams looked very smart. I love him with longer hair but lately he has looked like a blummin’ scarecrow! Now he looks like Zac Efron. Whitwoo!
Tom looks super-smart. He’s had a kick-ass haircut. Pretty short on the sides AND top. He suits it like that though as his hair grows like a loo brush!
Peace out
