Well, my baby is now 3!!! I have to admit he is going through a bit of a demanding stage and when I consider that he is the same age now as Faith was when he was born, I can't imagine him taking the arrival of a new baby quite as well as she did!!!!! good job we have no more planned!!!!!!! School hols are a bit hard work, the age of them both means alot of scrapping and arguing and a lot of refreeing from me. can't take my eyes of them for even a sec, can see this wearing very thin by Sept! Off to see Heather next week, so plan to take loads of pics.

Here is my piano, I love it!!!!

Going to try and post once a week while the summer hols are on, as in theory i should have more time!! The piano finally made it into the house this week due to an elaborate plan by dad and a lot of muscle from Dave. I am so pleased with and quite proud of my achievement as I sanded it and treated it all my little self. Can't wait to start lessons as it is something I have always wanted to do and have never had the chance before. Jack is three on Monday so hope to post some birthday pics next week. Can't believe it, where has my baby gone???!!!! Faith is finding the hols a bit boring so I have signed her up for all the free activities that sure start has to offer!!! off to a free Thomas the Tank engine day tomorrow.

Mmmmm, interesting week. Camp was a disaster. First day was great, kids had loads of freedom, weather was great, site was lovely. Second day, OK uptill dinner, then a kid that I had wanted to bann and hafd relented to let come for half the day, arrived.He just totally tipped the balance and long story really short, 3 of them managed to find spray paint from somewhere and proceeded to spray paint all over the place causing oodles of damage. Consequently we had to abandon the whole thing and cancel the rst of the trip which was an overnight stay for 6 other kids. warden was hopping mad and all the kids were dissappointed. Only 1 0ut of the 3 even gave a stuff and all the staff were really cheesed off. You live and learn and EBD kids never fail to remind you why they are EBD!!! but still a bit of a blow! On the up side, our new kitten has arrived and he is LOVELY!!!!!! Check him out!!!!! He's called Garfield, of course!

Not written for a while. Things are a little more positive, have got over the cat theft now!!!! it's been father's day today so we have had a nice day with all the family round at ours for tea. Jack has not drawn breath today, and much as I love him, I was quite pleased to get him to bed!!!!!!!!!! he has whittered and pestered all day! really busy week this week as it is camp week at school so I will be all over the show. Dave is off this week so hope he can pick up the slack. Will be knackered by Friday!!!!!! Well, even more knackered than usual!

You've got to love insurance companies! Got to say ours have been brill and the fact that the car and keys have been stolen has not really been too inconvenient this week. We have two hire cars at the mo and it looks as if we will be able to afford a new one, so we are chalking that whole experience down as a bit of a nightmare, but ho, hum! Hoping fo a better week, this week, fingers crossed.

Right, what a shit run of bad luck. Some little scrots have nicked our zafira and burnt it out in a field. Bastards!!!! what really bugs me is that we will now be out of pocket, we will have to pay the finance company the gap between what we still owe and what the care was worth and then buy a new catr withour any trade in. Fuck, fuck, fuck. And we will have to get the locks changed as they have nicked our keys from off the hall window sill. Bollox, bollox, bum, arse shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
