That was a damned annoying series of adverts wasnt it? Thinking back, I'm fairly sure I loved them at the time, but I've grown up now :)
So. Weekend spent with the kids went well. Visited my sister (so they could see Aunt, Uncle and cousin) - it was good to see them (Hi Jess! - as I know you read) and the kids had a great time. Then off to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway for lunch, where we bought sandwiches from the make-up shop (make-up shop = Boots) and ate them by the fountain, watching it shoot up into the air.
On the way home, the kids fell asleep, so I dropped some flowers and a pressie off to Shell (at her mums) as she had a stinking cold and was feeling pretty shite. Cheered her up a bit I think.
Sunday afternoon, the kids and I went round to their Nans house, where we had sandwiches and cake. Once again the kids walked in and carried on as if nothing had ever happened - even though they hadnt seen their Nan and La-la for over 7 months!
Then back to work on Monday BOO!. Although over the weekend, I did manage to watch a coupe of films - Open Water and Resident Evil: Apocalypse - and enjoyed them both immensely. RE2 is miles better than the first film.
I forgot to mention that the weekend before, Shell, Su, Dave and I went bowling. I had some tickets that I had got from using iPoints, so it didnt cost a lot. Now a couple of things you need to know - 1) Dave had never been bowling before in his life and 2) Dave has a prosthetic leg.
AND HE SODDING WON
I was second with a dismal 99 points, but he streamed away with a very respectable 120 odd points! His first ever bowl was a strike! So we are going to have to go again sometime, so that we can see whether it was a fluke or not. He may not have grace or style, but man can he bowl that ball. It is awesome to watch.
Yesterday I had the kids again at 4pm - and picked them up in my new car. I bought a 1995 'M' Ford Escort 1.4 LX for �300 from my colleague Douggie (who has now left work and will be missed). It has 12mths MOT and should save me a packet in petrol compared to the SRi. My insurance went down by about 10% too, as did the breakdown insurance. Chandler saw the car and told me he didnt like it and preferred my old one (which I need to sell ASAP). Bloody typical!
And now, the obligatory link for you:-
Hilarious eBay feedback
Also, check out (if you can) *anything* by a group called The Polyphonic Spree. Beautiful. And they are playing live in Bristol in November. It's a little left-field, but I'm currently lovin' it (no - not McDonalds).
