Sooo tired, KK decided to wake up at 10:30 last night and not settle all night. Yay. DW drew the short straw and went up to her, and ended up pulling the sofa bed out in the computer room and tried to sleep with her in there. By 4:30am she'd had enough and we swapped over. No idea what's gotten in to her, she wasn't hot, or anything, just moany. At 7:10 WB came down thinking it was 8:10 because despite the clocks going back an hour on Saturday night, he still hasn't changed his. Sigh.
Now I'm at work, knackered, and really don't have the brain power to do much...
Had a fun day on Saturday, we went to look at some new houses with a real intention of buying, until we found out we'd need a deposit in excess of £11,000 and that ain't going to happen any time soon. Sigh. Saw a really nice house too... not perfect, but would definitely be good enough! Carry on renting for a while more then I guess, oh well.

I'm such a girl
It's been a while my friends, I know I know, but I've not been in a writing mood. I'm here now, and that's what counts, right?
Hmmm, so what's happened since the fifth? Well, on the sixth I took my lovely DW to Sheffield to see Mr Lee Evans and to do some shopping at Meadowhall to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary. Amongst other things she bought for me I got wellies, jeans, a top, belts and underwear ... all from the ladies section, very nice. We got the Friends DVD boxset too, which we've been after for a while, so now I can finally stop recording it from the TV and rip the DVDs! The day after we went to Ikea to buy more stuff, and when we got home we bought a new mattress, quilt, pillows, and went to an NCT sale. I think we spent about £1,000 in all on the "weekend", money well-spent though, it was fun!
After that madness we had a quiet few weeks, DW bought some Westlife tickets and this week has been half-term for WB & TJ. On Wednesday night DW had some fun putting make-up on me and straightening my hair, so I did her hair in return, a nice high plait using half the hair, then joining the rest in a simple pony tail. Looked nicer than it sounds! Today I'm sat at work wearing pink everything, except my jumper, which is creamy/grey because it's Pink Day.
Hopefully this weekend we're going to buy a few bits for my bike (I need a bright light to get through the woods after work) and go to look at some houses with the hope that we can buy one soon-ish, fingers crossed!
"Speak" to you soon no doubt, and I'll have all the excitement of Halloween and Bonfire night to talk about. Hasta luego amigos!
PS. Snickers Almond: awesome.

Stupid people
How can people that are so stupid get so high up in companies? Answers on a postcard...

... and relaaax
Been a nice week and weekend really, after the "highs" of Monday, the week calmed down (I think the MD avoided me, which was nice) and the weekend was fun.
On Saturday we got the paddling pool out (yes, I am aware it is October) and the kids enjoyed a splash about in there... until Thomas poo'd in it anyway (yuck!). Was nice to just sit around doing very little for a change, not having to rush about visiting people or having to go shopping. I took a few photos, and realised that our camera sounds like it's on it's way out. Oh dear. Decided that it may be best to buy a new one ready for Thursday (Lee Evans!!) so got my Google Goggles out and have a little hunt on-line for a good one. In the evening me & WB had pizza, and DW had a Chinese while we watched the last episode of Doctor Who season 6. Afterwards me & DW watched Confidential and they showed River's life in order from her point of view, rather than from the Doctors, which was a very interesting thing to see! After that we played Swamp Fever on Left 4 Dead 2, completing it in about an hour, but a Tank killed DW just as rescue arrived... what a shame!!!
On Sunday we went to the Army, and afterwards took the little ones into town as WB was at an all-day practice. We went in to Jessops and I bought a new camera - the Canon SX210 IS. I'm not 100% happy with it, and may take it back as the images are too noisy for my liking, and the "HD" video mode may have the resolution, but it definitely doesn't have the quality. We also went to Pizza Hut and they were waaaaaaaay under-staffed for the amount of people in the restaurant. Service was appalling, but I had nothing but sympathy for the three waitresses running around trying their best. When we got home I changed the light fitting in the kitchen from a stupid energy-hungry fancy thing, to a simple hang-down one I could put an 11W bulb in, looks ugly, but will save us quite a bit of money! In the evening I played with my camera a bit and did one mission on Red Alert 3 with a friend to make sure everything worked before our first weekly game tonight.
And that just about brings you up-to-date. Enjoy your day!
