Some good stuff and some scary stuff !

Lets start with the good stuff !


Harry is now officially walking !! He had fun yesterday at the Skinners walking about from room to room and even out in the garden...I think he must have thought he was in a mansion compared to our shoe box !! He is still wobbly and prefers to crawl but it's pretty exciting nonetheless ! I am going to attempt to add a little video to show you how excited he is at being able to do it !! He looks a tad like a zombie but hey ho he loves it ! Now I wonder what the next question will be...is he talking, is he toilet trained yet....sometimes I do wish people would just let kids be kids and enjoy every moment instead of wanting to know if they have done "a,b,or c" yet ....

The bad stuff...

We were involved in a car crash yesterday first one ever (well other than the time I hit someone in front of me in a traffic jam as I was too busy waving at a pal of mine - this was a long time ago tho hahaha)

I don't think I could have been more scared if I had tried. Having our baby in the car at the time was quite possibly the worst experience I have ever had. Anyway what's important is that none of us were hurt...except a few strained and sore backs today....Thank god for car seats and seat belts...oh and insurance on hire cars! Bloody idiot teenager in a fancy jeep smashed into the back of us while we were at a stop sign...what he was doing at the time is beyond me ...he reckons his brakes failed...yeh righto more likely he wasn't concentrating !! Anyway its all over with now and we are all safe. I had a good strong cuppa (yep it was one of those times I thought I needed something a tad stronger but a cuppa did the trick ok !) Poor H, he was screaming so loud...not sure if it was the loud crash, Jay screaming obscenities or the fact he was enjoying a lovely sleep when it happened (as was mummy of course !!)



Ok so we can't finish with bad news so I just have to finish with some totally "awesome" (as they say here ) fantastic news that is literally just off the press ....My fabulous aunt and uncle have finally ..after maybe 30-40 years together...tied the knot !!!!!!!!!!!!! To say I am shocked is an understatement. I am trying very hard not to make it about me and not feel gutted that Jill and I (as clearly we are the closest to them hahahahaha) were not involved....hahaha ...but seriously as I said just now on the phone after I could get some words out, it's not about us, it's about them and I am totally thrilled for them! About bleeding time !!! Now we just have to get it out of them where and when it happened, they are keeping that secret !! How romantic ! If you read this M+M congratulations once again - fantastic news !!!


That's it for now !
