Boys night

With Verity staying over at school and these boys going to two of the corners of the globe in the next 7 days I thought they should see the house and we should have a couple of send off beers. Even if it does look like David is asleep

Sorting the garage

Having a sort out in the garage and came across a few old bits.

Happy New Year

Last year was a sad year for blogging and this blog was left neglected for 8 months. I have a folder on my computer that has content for this blog in it but what good is it there. Instead of always trying to find that illusive hour to bring this up date I'm just going to carry on regardless.

In the last 8 months I/we have:

Redecorated our house we bought in February
Had a fantastic engagement party in April
Finished my degree
Moved back from Newcastle
Design show in London
Rewired said house
Redecorated again
Moved in
Visited friends and family in California
Both started new jobs
Whilst all the time planning our wedding

Not bad eh?

Although it hasn't just been this blog that has been neglected. So today I unwrapped my most precious little Mini and treated her to the fitting of her new boots that have been reconditioned over the winter. She's back in the warm and dry now.

First moving load! Give me an hour, this kitchen will be done.

Don't get too carried away when cleaning your iPhone

Cleaning my phone only to turn it on and realise most of the lighter fluid had worked its way into the phone. Bums...

Maybe it'll clean out my mic! I hope it dries out ok

Paralympic Games ticket give away x4

I recently won 4 tickets to the London 2012 Paralympic Games but Verity and I will be in the states during the games so they are of little use to us. So I am putting them up for grabs here as I need to register the tickets in the ticket holders name. The ticket is a family ticket so includes you and 3 additional guests.

Here is the order of the day for the Olympic Park:

• Four tickets to the Olympic Park on 05 September 2012 to include:
• 09:00–12:30 Football 7-a-side: preliminaries (PFT05)
• 09:00–11:30 Goalball: quarter-finals (PGB19)
• 12:00–20:00 Wheelchair Tennis: finals (PWT05)
• 12:45–16:45 Goalball: quarter-finals (PGB20)
• 14:00–17:30 Football 7-a-side: preliminaries (PFT06)
• 14:00–17:15 Wheelchair Rugby: preliminaries (PWR01)
• 18:00–22:00 Goalball: quarter-finals (PGB21)
• 19:00–22:15 Wheelchair Rugby: preliminaries (PWR02)

Family get first refusal, other than that it's first come first serve. 

All I ask is that you are serious about going as I would have love to have gone my self and wouldn't want them to go to waste.

Treasure trove

Dropped a pound down the sofa and found all this. About £15 an iPod and some knickers... a sound investment
