Michael Fitch review

Evening all.  Hope all of you are well.  It has been a little while since my last post, which is a shame as I have had quite a bit to post about!

Right, first of all, last weekend, my daughter had a joint birthday party with two boys from school.  That meant that we shared the costs, and effort, but most importantly, that meant that everyone from her class could be invited to the party.

There was an animated monkey that said that my daughter was its wife which made all the five year olds laugh, and a magician who came with it!  If you are interested in the magician, he was great and I would highly recommend him.

That was on Sunday.  Saturday of course was me at work, though I got to have lunch with the kids.  In the week, my son as been on hunger strike, not eating as much as he normally does, while my daughter has found her appetite not just for learning, but for normal food as well.  Which has meant that now, one of her trousers is tight!  When you have a daughter that was seen by the hosptial as she was too skinny, things like that mean a lot.

Today, they went down to see my wife's parents.  Last night, we got to set of fireworks, which they loved.  Anyway, I am actually posting this while on a break at work.  Am here till midnight.  I am looking forwards to spending time with the kids, and if the weather is nice, I will take them out to one of the local playgrounds again.  Anyway, take care all, and I hope you like the jokes...

Evening all.  I hope you all are well, well that is if anyone other than my mother reads this!

Quick update on the kids.  They are doing well.  Yesterday they went to see my wife's parents.  They loved it there.  The only problem is that they get used to 'no' meaning scream/try harder.  A rule that does not work with my wife and myself.

Tonight, after putting the kids to bed, I am hoping to get to listen to the Arsenal game.  I am concerned that we will get beaten.  We do not travel well to the North East, and Newcastle will be keen to take another big scalp after beating Chelski before.  Mind you, I did not think that we would take three points against Man Sh*tty, but we did.

Sometimes too much to drink isn't enough.

Evening all. I post after a day at work.

Yesterday after working late at night, I got to spend time with the kids.  My wife unfortunately has been unwell which meant that I had to not catch up with my sleep.  But to be fair, I was lucky as it meant that I got to spend time with the kids!  I took them for their morning walk to the sweetie shop.  And then I had the option to take them back home, or take them for a walk.  So I did.  A long walk for them and they did really well.  And I took them to a different playground.  Well they loved it.  And I had a great time with them.  I am very lucky to have great kids like them.  And I am lucky to spend the time I have with the kids.  While I would love it to be longer I just have to appreciate the time I have, as having more time with them would mean problems in other areas.

And today it was the first day of half term.  So while my son spent time at nursery, my wife spent the day my daughter.  My son suspected something was up, probably because she was not in her school uniform and he asked if his sister was going to school.  And he did not want to go to the nursery.  Well he, like his sister, he is a smart cookie.  Anyway, I have to go to bed, so I will post about the Arsenal match at a later date.

I hear in Norfolk they're going to have their own take on horse racing's Breeders Cup.

It's called The In-breeders Cup

Just a quick post before I take the kids out for a walk to the sweet shop.
As mentioned in the last post, my wife and I went to a math's evening at my daughters school on Wednesday with games on how to make maths fun.  So yesterday, before I went to work, we played a game of ticks and crosses.   
Using some dice that I use for roleplaying (a d4 and a d6), she would roll the dice, write the numbers and add them together.  

She was very proud to get so many ticks.  And if you are wondering about the title of the post, it refers to Po, one of the Tellytubbies.

Cameron & Clegg - putting the 'n' in cuts!

Well, let me start with my rant on politics. I would have posted sooner, but I forgot how to add pictures onto my blog.  But that has changed and now I can have my rant on politics.

Well, a lot has happened since I last made a post.  Most recently, the government has made loads of cuts.  They want to encourage people to find work, and have done so by making plans to sack loads of people.

And in addition to that, the UK is now to build an aircraft carrier without any planes!  Not that it makes sense to me.

But then I am not as clever as they are.  

I almost feel sorry for the Liberal Democrats.  So many promises made, and so many broken!

They gained loads of votes from people who would have voted labour.  Students for example who did not want to pay fees. 

And for some strange reason, I do not see many of those students voting for them come the next election.  And if crime goes up, I see the Conservatives being screwed.  

And considering that they are going to cut funding to both the police and prisons, hmm....

Anyway, back to the kids.  My daughter had her birthday on Monday.  My side of the family came up on Sunday and spent time with her which she loved, then not only did she let people know about her birthday at school on Monday, but my in-laws came up and picked her up from school!  It was a great two days for her.  A day at Build-A-Bear where she got to build a bear.  A purple one, which she named Purple!  And then on to the Early Learning Centre where she got toys for her fairy castle.  

Come Wednesday, I got back from work to put the kids to bed.  There was a maths evening at her school to which parents were invited to learn how to encourage getting kids to learn maths.  So my mother-in-law came up to babysit and then we got the kids ready for bed.  Just as we were about to go, my son did an Exorcist and then my daughter hearing her brother cry (and after being told by the mother-in-law that we were about to leave) burst out in tears.  Needless to say we were a bit late.  Anyway, time to go. Arsenal are to play Man City today and I am hoping we get to win. 

A blonde and a brunette were hanging off of a bridge. A boy had to pick which one to save. He said that he picked the blonde, so she clapped.


My mate said to me, "Can you give me a bed for the night?"


I said, "Yes, but you'll have to bring it back in the morning."

Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?

A quick post from my mobile.

My daughter is five. I had intended to go to work early, but did not and instead was able to wake her up, sing happy birthday to her and watch her open her present. Jessie from Toy Story. She loved it and took her cowgirl doll into school. What amazed me more was that the doll came back intact! My son has Woody already and now loves him more now that his sister has Jessie. Ideally he would love Buzz, but he has to wait till Christmas to be surprised when he gets his own spaceranger!

Good night to any who read this. Time for me to get some kip.

NEVER play leapfrog with a unicorn.

Today is the last day that my daughter will be four.

Sad. Well, that is how I feel. Silly really. But she should enjoy tomorrow. And I hope she does not only enjoy that day, but I want her to enjoy many other birthdays to come.

And while I love her and want her to grow, I miss the vast amount of time that I do not get to spend with her, her brother, and her mother.

Anyway, here is wishing her a happy birthday.
