Day 312 - 22nd November

Thursday -

Last day of the week, hurray. I will be glad for a lay in tomorrow am.

Car in for a service today, so off to Audi in Leicester. They have a new place, so off I went but ended up missing the turning, so went down a private road (as I got told later!) then just turned around and drove back the way I had come.  This should have been a simple move but my god did I feel the wrath of some chav resident who kindly stopped me by waving his arm out of his window. God knows why I stopped and wound down my window but alas I did.

' Did you know this is a private road?' - well clearly yes I did as this has houses around it but to me this is also a public right of way for all drivers and as I have passed my test, have insurance and pay my tax I think I qualify to drive down this 'private road' -

'I was driving under the speed limit, so excuse me' is what I said.
'excuse me, you may have been under the limit but you don't know what's around you'

If only I had been more quick witted, I would have said ' yes I can see some houses, trees, grass and oh some sign posts' is that good enough for you?' but was so angry at this chav man that I just said 'excuse me' and drove off. What a TWAT. Put me in a foul mood for the remainder of the day even though I had a nice AUDI courtesy car with DAB stereo. I should have been elated at this but no. Did manage to listen to Jazz FM though.

Left work early to pick my car up and enjoyed the nice clean car, thank you Audi

To the main in his Fiesta...GET A LIFE...

Day 311 - 21st November

Wednesday -

Trip to Carlisle - up at 4.55am so slept down stairs ensuring DW's sleep is not disturbed too much.
Lovely weather, torrrential rain and awful traffic, I didn't realise people are actually out and about at this time. Silly sausages.

Arrived at work for 6.00am and then off with a couple of colleagues. Luckily I didn't have to drive straight away, so we took it in turns. Stopped for breakfast, nice. Also stopped on the way home for some lunch and I bought some Krispy Kreme's for the boys at home as a treat.

Arrived home at 6.30pm, what a long day, knackety pooped, pooped de knackered!!! Poor me, ahhh!

Eve - slumped on the floor....actually bathed Zach and read him a story as it is my turn on a Wednesday. then slumped on the floor.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Day 310 - 20th November

Tuesday -

Busy bee @ work, involved in so many projects and asked to be involved in more. I need to chase people up on their actions and get some movement on other projects. I know people are busy but as the PM I need people to carry out their tasks in a timely fashion for the good of the business.

Eve - Not much, I hibernate in the winter like a little hedgehog (although less prickles!). Leave me in a cardboard box with some straw or bury me under some leaves, that will suit me down to the ground, as long as I have access to SKY that would be fab ;-)

Cheeky mother x

Day 309 - 19th November

Monday, bloody, Monday

OK, so a really busy morning with meetings, phone calls. Deciding whethere to take Friday off, have a couple of days left to takeas holiday and our year has just changed from Jan - Dec. I know this is going to sound like a waste of a day but the plan for Friday is to clean and rake the leaves in the garden. It's pretty difficult to get the time to do these mundane things, to be honestr I actually like cleaning and pottering in the garden. Sad mother funker :-(

3 day week due to travelling off site on Wednesday and possibly Friday on holiday

Yippee!

Day 308 - 18th November

Sunday -

Cycle ride as discussed earlier in the week. On our road bikes, so I took the route and ended up going through to Desborough, Villages around Kettering, through Kettering and back the long route through villages on the way back to Market Harborough. Chain came off at one point, which was nice.

Not the greatesg day out, due to a very back mood on my behalf!! 30 miles covered on the old bike though, marvellous calorie burner.

PM - David wanted to show me some 'Firefly' episode, so we chilled out and watched this. I actually thought it was quite good.

Granary Bread x

Day 307 - 17th November

Saturday -

OK, so bacon butty and the boys went off to take DW's car to be serviced whilst I collected all the ski gear and jumped into the loft (Climed the ladder actually). Met them at Audi.

Drove to Milton keynes and went to the Snozone, to be honest it was OK but I became quite bored as skiing down within 20 - 30 secs and then jump on the ski lift can be mundane. I am a competent skier so the quick skiing is monotonous. Good for DW and Mark to test their skills though.

Popped into the nice outdoor shops in the local vicinity and ate at La Tasca for lunch, nice.

Missed the Rugby, shame as wanted to see England v Australia, never mind.

Eve - guess what? Knackered so watched Strictly and went to bed bloody early.

Tomorrow is another day...

 ;-)

Day 306 - 16th November

Friday -

Now I guess you are wondering, as I was, as to why my day numbers are only at 306!! Surely we only have  40 days plus until the end of the day, so my year should end at 365!!!! Yes it should however I clubbed tobgether my holiday in September so it wouldn't bore anyone. Aha! I have just realised this.

David invited one of his friends over for a drink, DVD and to stay over. Mark is a big lad (big built and not fat) and so what the boys consumed in Pizza, crisps and Vodka is quite remarkable. I went to bed at 10ish and they stayed up until 3am!! Noise boxes. I even text them to ask them to turn the TV down, crikey they can talk. Worse then any woman :-)

Tired

Day 305 - 15th November

Thursday -

Running in the rain, nothing quite like it. Love it. I feel cleansed when I return, just you and the elements, especially in the dark mornings before work.

Did not book body combat tonight either, so guess what? I did not go, TWAT.

This is a hard class but by golly does it work you hard, sweaty and pumped by the end of the hour.

Run - keep trim and build stamina
Classes - tone and look lean

Ok - now work it woman

TTFN X

Day 304 - 14th November

Wednesday -

No body pump tonight, did not book it, which is probably a massive error. I am not booking just in case I can not make the 6pm start, due to traffic or leaving late from work. When I don't book it I feel no commitment to going!! What is a girl to do?

Must get back to doing this class, I noticed such a difference on my things and butt.

Note to self...get motivated you silly cow!!

Day 303 - 13th November

Tuesday -

Not too much to add today, simply work and boring day to day routine.

Evening - Guess what? Sat down and chilled catching up on recordeed TV, we have so much to watch it is ridiculous. I blame the show producers for bringing out such good drama's at this time of year.

Went for a run this am, trying to keep it up but am soooooo not motivated.

Day 302 - 12th November

Monday -

Received my birthday present from DW's Dad and Louise. Professor Layton and the Spectre DS light game. Excellent choice. Challenges the brain, which is always good as I think the brain can diminish if we do not take ourselves away from the goggle box and inane shite.

Played on the game in the evening, where upon a small boy decided he wanted to play, although he could not solve the puzzles he used the stilus to turn the pages, which he seemed to enjoy but didn't quite understand why he couldn't hold it and was adamant he could solve the puzzles. Clearly he is not 3 1/2 but 13 in his eyes. Bless him.

G-meister x

Day 301 - 11th November

Sunday -

Invited for lunch at David's brothers, a  nice roast and playtime for Zach with cousin Katy.
I also have mountains of fun, played with the kids and got squished, squashed, jumped on and sat on.
Laughing our heads off. Fab.
Dinner was lovely too.

Dropped Zach off on the way home.

Eve - Caught up on recorded TV

Chilled people x

Day 300 - 10th November

Saturday -

Opticians today, no requirement for new glasses (saved the pennies there then). Now I am careering towards 40 I will not to have to pay for my eye tests moving forward due to my mum having Galucoma. Although this time round I should have paid, but the lady said 'you don't have to pay'. I said 'are you sure?' she said yes, so I walked out. Bonus.

PM - Watched the Goonies, haven;t seen this marvellous kids film for years. Great. Zach wasn't too impressed, so he played with toys whilst David and I sat and regressed to 12 years old.


Eve - chilled (Strictly is on, so what else would we do!!)

G x

Day 299 - 9th November

Friday -

Zach weekend -what do we have in store for this weekend? There are no plans set in stone as we are trying to save cash due to Christmas. This will mean some made up games to keep him happy and prevent boredom.

PM - Speed awareness course! Yes I know naughty G, got caught speeding coming out of a village. Speed camera (should I say Safety Camera) in the village which I always go through. Then the buggers caught me increasing my speed coming out of the village, by a Police van. 41 mph in a 30mph. Took the decision not to have 3 points and pay and extra £30 for a course. Very good indeed, in fact I learnt a lot.

Eve - Just chilled and caught up on some TV

G

Day 298 - 8th November

Thursday -

Dropped Zach off at the child minders, first time.

Today is a key meeting for one of the projects I look after and today is the first meeting I have chaired with RH in!!! The meeting could go two ways, depending on what mood RH is in....
You will be pleased to know that the meeting went well, all actions addressed and the project is going well. RH was ina  great mood and even joked about, which is so nice to see.

PM - On a mission to get all my other projects ticking along, very dependent on other people playing their part. IT are involved in a lot, however working with the Head of IT is a dream, he is mopst helpful and has a very can do attitude.

Body Combat - Managed to attend this week, hurray.
Lacking in people this evening, so had to move into the middle of the room, although lots of space was quite visible to all, conscious I did all my moves as best as I could.

Friday is nearky here again, my my the time it does fly (Quite scarely so if I may add)

TTFN x

Day 297 - 7th November

Wednesday -

Yeah I can go Body Pump today....I wonder how difficult it will be because I haven't been for awhile?

Used less weights than normal, enjoyed the class.

Can you tell that I am trying to catch up on my blog? I have become rather poor with updating, once you lose 2 -3 days it ias hard to remember all that have been achieved, especially in the weeks. Generally the weeks are boring, I tend to hibernate from October - March, always have done. Boring chores round the house excites me, cleaning, ironing & washing.

Need to sort out the garden as leaves are falling and if I don't hoover them up they will rot the grass. A job for DW perhaps or me when I can find time at the weekend.

Garden Dweller x

Day 296 - 6th November

Tuesday -

Christmas some 6 weeks today, haven't really bought many presents, basically because I don't know who wants what, which is rather distressing. I have bought stocking fillers for my two men, so at aleast this part is done.

May take a day off to go Christmas shopping soon. Although I love to order on line this is so detached from the Christmas ambience and I love Christmas. Buying gifts in store is much more fun if you can handle the crowds.

G x

Day 295 - 5th November

Monday -

We have Zach this evening and because he was not with us duiring the weekend to take to a firework display we have decided to buy some ourselves and DW will be in charge of the display. Good lukc everybody!

DW bought rockets, sparklers and 2 big multi packs of fireworks. Nice clear evening and not raining which helps. We have fun, bless Zach he was a little scared off the noise for the big ones but generally loved it, held his sparkler in a safe way. Thank you DW for buying these gems of explosives.

Great fun Monday eve x
(Slippers was safe and sound tucked up under the bed)

Day 292 - 2nd November

Friday -

Eve - Usual - down the Oathill for some beverages, lovely and then nice Leggera Pizza at Pizza Express always good for 500 calories, pity I also ate half of the Garlic Bread with Mozzarella and then had a dessert!! Bugger.

Fatty Boom Boom x

Day 291 - 1st November

Thursday -

2 more days until the weekend, nice. Due to enjoying my cinema experiences recently I feel the need to continue with movies and book another one. 'The Hobbit' is out in December, DW can't wait to see it, so booked advanced tickets. The great thing about being an ODEON Premier member means I collect points and can use to purchase tickets/food/drinks. Bought 2 tickets& got 1 free. Happy Dayz!

Missed Body combat class due to heavy traffic on the way home. Darn it, very pissed off, so went to Waitrose and bought 2 Cornish pasties. One for DW and one for me, with beans. Ah that's better, comfort food.

x

Day 290 - 31st October

Wednesday - WFH (Worked From Home)

Nice to do now and again but I couldn't do it all the time as would get bored with not communicating with people face to face.

Electric man arrived, requirement to change the digital meter back to a dial (old fashioned) due to a fault reported on some.Modern technology eh? Half an hour with no electric, lucky I had a kindle to read. All sorted.

Invited over to V's for a catch up and cuddles with Holly. Holly lay in my arms for over 45mins, just gurgling and with open eyes, bless her, Very sweet and lovable. V's seems on top from, clearly has taken to motherhood like a duck to water.

Eve - Unfortunately could not attend Body Pump due to massage yesterday :-(

X

Day 288 - 29th October

Monday - SKYFALL 1 day away.

Why are the winters so different to how they were when we were young? It seemed to me, back in the 70's, that the winters were cold and lots of snowfall. Apart from the odd flurry or odd cold nap, with an inch of the white stuff he winters are drizzly, mild and boring.

One thing I have found this year is that DW has enticed me back to the cinema, which was a no go for some time due to other people being there. You can't help the piglets that munch on popcorn or sweets and make oodles of noise, so I can now ignore them, it's the feckers that talk through the film.
Now call me old fashioned but what withe the high prices, you would think that people make the most of the film and just watch, listen and understand the context of the film.

G x

Day 274 - 14th October

Sunday -

Took Zach to see the Pirates film in the Kids club cinema (lovely and cheap).
Really enjoyable film for adults let alone kids.

Went food shopping, which is always fun when Zach comes, bless him he is actually quite good, helps put the food into the trolley and then sits on it.

Throughly enjoyable birthday weekend

G X

Day 294 - 4th November

Sunday -

Run for me and DW due to not doing any exercise yesterday, picked up Dad's paper on the way in the horrendous pouring rain, soaked by the time I arrived back home.

DW cooked a lovely English breakfast, baked in oven to ensure flavour but not fattening. Mum even had some. Go on Pamela!

Took mum to do the weekly shop but in Waitrose no less, oh darling!

Finally decided to go for a walk about 2.30, rain had stopped and I mustered up some energy.
Took the safest route via the Canal towpath, however many puddles caused a few issues with mud splatters.
Few fishermen looked thoroughly pissed off due to weather.
Ended up in the lovely little village pub and had a nice chat and pint of bitter (bitter and red wine in the winter for me-lovely)

Eve - On the way home popped in to collect a chines meal and then lounged around to watch the last episode of Downton for the season. Although there is a Christmas special on, so not all is lost.

Great weekend x

Day 293 - 3rd November

Saturday -

Off to Brum again this am and someone has decided that the OMEGA needs a good home. Left DW in the shop whilst I dived around the shops in the Bull Ring, got collared by someone doing a survey in a shop. Don't they know I have a nice Suchards hot chocolate waiting for me @ the OMEGA shop? The shop assistants, if that is what they call themselves, probably watch Butlers in OMEGA's case wearing their nice gloves to prevent damage to the little watch (ah bless!).

Should have departed Brum straight after, however got delayed by being dragged into the NORTH face shop again, oh darn it!! :-)

Arrived home, DW went for a cycle whilst I popped to buy food for lunch before Parents arrived. The things I sacrifice to allow DW to cycle (only jesting).

Parents arrived, chatted, put lilies in vase, chastised Mum for bringing, white & red wine, chocolates, peanuts etc. Why do parents bring loads of food/drink with them when visiting your home but you get told off when you say you will  being stuff for Christmas. I have categorically been told I am not allowed to bring anything apart from me and DW and presents. What's all that about? I have to keep reminding my Mum that I am in fll time work and earn a nice wage, so buying some bits and pieces is not a hardship, however my parents on the other hand are retired!!!! Strange Parental behaviour.

Popped into town in the afternoon, Costa coffee hit and pottered.

Eve - Lovely meal @ Lamport, great food, brilliant service (this time) and great company, we had a laugh.

Great Day all Told 10/10 x

Day 289 - 30th October

Tuesday -SKYFALL

The day is finally here, the latest Bond movie, hurray. Let's ee what this one is like. I really enjoyed Quantum Of Solace and Casino Royale, good quality Bond Films, with lots of drama, gadgets and one liners.

My honest opinion - a little disappointing to be fair. No real gadgets as the film producers, namely Sam Mendes wanted to revert back to the original bond theme of few gadgets. Shame as this side to Bond is so dramatic it is fab. Nice suit and overcoat though. Bought back the DB5 and what a lovely car that is. Long film but I did enjoy it. 6/10.

Prior to the film we popped into the pub & had a nice drink.

Still not sold on the Daniel Craig being Bond

Day 287 - 28th October

Sunday -

Cleaning day for me today, god the house looks a tip (actually doesn't as told by my better half but I know it does). Hr does take the Mick for me being a tidy and clean house elf, however he wouldn't like to live in a pig sty I bet?

DW took Zach out of the way and also took Grandad to the cinema to watch Madagascar3, lucky them.
I was duly picked up on the way to Granddad's house for a nice brunch. Mr Peter Walton worked in the catering business for some years so knows how to cook up a storm in the kitchen, as does his two sons.

Managed to get home to see Chelsea v Man Utd match and wish I hadn't bothered. Crikey the ref needs a slap or glasses. This is the only time I have vented or written on facebook in years, my frustrations for all to see.

Sunday Eve - is slob evening, so chilled out and caught up on the box, just love it.

X

Day 286 - 27th October

Saturday -

Zach weekend - OK so this weekend was supposed to be dry and sunny but cold, no problem we can deal with the cold as we have things called coats for the winter months.

Today was Santa Pod, so dragsters, monster trucks, stunt planes and good old fashioned fun.
Wrapped up warm but clearly not warm enough as Zach was not a happy little chappy at all, most annoyed at everything. DW and I had a good time watching the drag cars, wow they can go some. It is amazing what people turn into draw cars, we even saw a children's postman pat ride converted into one. Weird!

After 2 hrs we departed, also rained which just topped the day off. I think perhaps we will visit again when the weather is better and Zach that little bit older.

Popped into the outdoor shop on the way home and purchased some nice little snow booties for Zach, cute. Will certainly keep his feet warm if it snows this year.

Slobbed in the afternoon

Day 285 - 26th October

Friday - It's the weekend but not yet.

Big Meeting today with a client, so no dress down for me, only suited and booted.

Busy day, but no Oathill for some refreshments, this evening as this is a Zach zone.

Nice evening to round off the working week.

Can you believe only 6 weeks to Christmas?

At least we have plans for January and possibly skiing break in Feb. I feel it is a necessity to arrange for events to look forward to, this keeps you positive and ploughing on through work. It amazes me how many people don't really enjoy work, however this pays for my entertainment and nice holidays. Don't miss understand me, I can moan about work like the rest of the planet, however have noticed this is unusual now that I am in my new role.

Tis the weekend for fun and frolics, work hard but play hard people x

Day 285 - 25th October

Thursday -

Ha, ha have booked something nice to the New Year, I think you need to have things to look forward too after the merriment of Christmas. I like the run up to the day, generally starts in September as Autumn approaches, however this year hasn't really started until October due to having a late Summer holiday.

What have I booked? The Snowman Show in Londinium for me, DW and Zach on 5th January. How Fab, supposed to be excellent and lovely for children.



Prior to this I have also booked 'The Rain forest Cafe' - a place that is basically set in the rain forest, with squawking Parrots, Monkeys that swing from trees and weather which turns into a thunderstorm...magical. Just hope it doesn't scare him :-(

Body Combat - That's a Yes but hard work

Excited G x

Day 284 - 24th October

Wednesday -

So I throw myself out of bed like an old person, crawl to the bathroom and sit in agony...OK so I exaggerate to make a point. Not so much pain but sore due to being pummelled yesterday (no jokes please) This is a clean blog.

Tonight is just a chilled out catch up on DCI Banks kinda night.

Fingers crossed tomorrow will be OK to do Body Combat.

Countdown to SKYFALL - 5 DAYS.

G x

Day 283 - 23rd October

Tuesday -

Running am - trying to get back into regular running so I can start to enter races again.

Work is swimming along nicely, so no worries there.

Eve - Massage

OMG - what an earth is happening here? ouch, ouch, tears in the eyes...crikey. Clearly I have issues with my shoulders. Very tense apparently, even my right shoulder blade is out of line, ooohhh sounds nasty, so when she has finished I feel like a punch bag, battered and bruised. Do I need to come back for another session? stupid question...yes - you are still tense. I think this has built up over  months... oh dear. £38 pounds later and a lighter purse I have booked myself in for another torture lesson!! To be honest she has done wonders and we have some great chats during the 1hr.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to do any exercise today or tomoroow, maybe on Thursday, so Body Pump is out of the question.

Over and out

Day 282 - 22nd October

Monday -

So you would have thought that my neck ache would have ceased to exist, well you are wrong. In more agony today then ever, so much so I have taken some pain killers. There is something no right here, unsure whether I have actually torn a muscle.

Decided to book a nice sports massage at the Natural health place, if that doesn't work then I am off to the doctors. Maybe this is a sign of getting old?

Vegged this evening as can't do alot else

TTFN x

Day 281 - 21st October

Sunday -

Decided on a hike today, haven't been on one since May time and that was in the Peak district. In the end found an 8 1/2 mile hike near where we live. Luckily sun was shining and not too cold, after all the rain we had in the week it is perfect walking conditions.
Stopped off on the way to pick blackberries

Photo

Made a couple of fatal mapping errors which took us around the house (fields) but the guide was written some 5 years ago, so the new planed trees aren't actually newly planted anymore!!

Ended up hiking 10 miles, so burnt off many calories, deserved to stop off and have a pint of bitter in the village pub. I should cocoa. Lovely.

Knackered, so slumped at home in the evening.

Great weekend, just up our street shopping/hiking

Superb x

Day 280 - 20th October

Saturday -

Birmingham shopping, decided to spend some cash on clothes, I haven't been clothes shopping for ages and wanted a couple of items for the winter, namely a long winter coat to wear with leggings, jeans and some new black boots.

Found and purchased both items successfully, had a lovely Gourmet burger in the mailbox, by the canal. DW also purchased a very nice long winter coat (North face no less). Could have spent an absolute fortune in North Face and other outdoor shops, held back due to saving cash for Christmas. Maybe pop to Bicester for the Jan sales. Popped into the OMEGA shop, as you do, just looking at the price of some of the watches made me hot - £16k for a flight watch. Seriously more £ than sense or just more money. DW has been looking for a nice watch for ages, wants a titanium one due to it's weight. If only I could afford to buy him one for Christmas, sadly I do not have the cash to do so :-(

Eve - Strictly come Dancing just love it, DW went out for a boys catch up in Northampton and I caught up with them around 10.30ish to say hello and drive DW home. My what a lovely girlfriend I am!!!! (only joking DW - I know you will read this at some point ;-0)

Another day done x

Day 279 - 19th October

Friday -

The weekend is bearly upon us, yippee. Although I have to be honest the weeks are flying by as work is busy as hell.

Today - I have woken up with a very sore neck, unsure as to why but it feels like someone has stabbed me in the muscle going up to my neck and across my shoulder. YIKES!!

Eve - Down the Oathill for a couple of drinks (purely medicinal of course ;-)), decided to go to the newish eaterie in town 'wildwood'. By golly the salad was delicious, no ordinary salad, goats cheese, onion, brushetta mmmm.

Alcohol has not workex, shoulder sore as ever, we will see how it is tomorrow

;-)

Day 278 - 18th October

Thursday -

Still have the films to watch from Love film. When I was single there was plenty of time to watch films and catch up TV, however now there is a man and small boy in my life TV is vertially all recorded and films take a back seat. Autumn TV is soooo good that we are recording various series, new series and catching up is hard to do. Usually Thursday night is catch up night for me, however DW wants to watch Hunted and other such series with me.

Eve - Body Combat

A new workout has been implemented and some of the tracks are fast and furious, especially the one from 'Blade' The vampire nightclub scene. Jesus creepers tiring and out of breath but really invigorates you. Come on!! Yeah.

G-meister x

Day 277 - 17th October

Wednesday -

Full on working day today, meetings, meetings and more meetings...

Body Pump - putting on more weights when doing the lunges and left work, OMG by the the time the final sets are done, my legs are like Jelly and I am panting like an over heated dog (No puns please).

Looking forward to the weekend, shopping in Birmingham

Day 276 - 16th October

Tuesday -

My big brothers birthday today, 41, bless him.

Work is full on with projects right now, which is great, I am loving the new role. Almost my own boss.

Eve - Spinning class.

Walked into the class and there were no bikes available, so stood nearly in the middle of the room to get a full view, just in case there was one hiding. Some guy says to me 'you OK? you look lost, this is a spinning class!!!!! Well I could have ripped his head off, how patronising and you clearly don';t look further than your nose matey as I come to this class every week, Dumb ass!! I said something to this effect but not so feisty. He said ' you can get a bike through there and pointed'. I duly did but my god he pissed me off.

Why are people such tits?

Day 275 - 15th October

Monday -

As I was on holiday on Friday, I had a thought that maybe the team managers would have left something on my desk or present a card/present to me. Usually there is a choral Happy Birthday. I thought this maybe unlikely this year due to the fact I didn't tell anyone. Nobody did remember, so that was that. Disappointed - a little.

There are too many big birthdays around now and everyone chips in for that, 60th & 50th just in the training department outside my office. My was only a piddly 39th.

Over and Out x

Day 273 - 13th October

Saturday - Happy birthday to me, happy to me, happy birthday dear me.....happy birthday to me!!

AM - A rather unusual way to start my birthday, Zach had a little accident in his bedroom and then proceeded to carry on when DW picked him up and rushed him to the loo. Let's just say that cleaning the smellier end of a small child, by scrubbing carpets is not a good start.

Made myself a cup of tea and then sat in bed whilst provided with my cards and presents.

Zach - Pistachios and a Gruffalo card (bless)
Slippers - Wembley soft toy (Fraggle rock character) Why? Because people say I run like a fraggle.
DW - DVD, Night Vision Helmet cap to keep the rain off in the winter & 2 x charms from Links of London.
Mum and Dad - Money

Breakfast - walked into town to have a nice breakfast out at Wetherspoons. Eggs Benedict no less and to my surprise DW brings yet another gift out. OMG! Links Of London charm bracelet..now that was not expected even though he gave me the charms, I knew this was expensive and he had already bought me an ICE watch in September. Very naughty but very much appreciated.

Photo's to follow

PM - Off to MK to take Zack sledging

Eve - Chinese meal, which was devine and a DVD!!! Loved my birthday, just sad that I enjoyed staying in and  vegging, definitely getting old ;-(
