At ten Chris and my daughter were going to swim in the schools swimming pool. My daughter had been looking forward to finally being able to swim in the pool after seeing her brother do his swimming lessons there. But owing to an ill Chris, we ended up visiting Teddington Hospital for the Saturday morning doctors surgery. Our wait took so long, the kids and I ended up getting toys for them, a Ben 10 watch and a Remy Ratatouille cooking pot. When they finally saw Chris, it was even too late to go to our cousins birthday party in Bracknell.

Yesterday while my daughter was at Acorns (afternoon nursery), I walked down to the parade. As doing the jobs I went down to do, I ended up in the card and gift shop. It is a wonderful shop and as well as other bits I came home with a helium balloon. Both kids loved it and this morning even Tiggie thought balloons on ceilings with ribbon hanging down were good.

I guess yesterday was a lucky, yesterday none, today 5. so combing for another 10 days.

My son and I were chatting about drinks and then which drinks he associates with his family. Chris has white coffee, his sister has apple juice, him pineapple juice and me Katy Cider. When I asked why, Chris will not get up without coffee, his sister calls all squash and juice apple juice and I make a point at the beginning of each month to pick up one bottle of Katy cider for the month!

Again one parasite again today. Hopefully by the end of the week whoever has them discovers and get's rid of them. I am guessing the next attack will be end of november as it was in patches of every two months last year.

I have been told by my daughter that this set of photos are better of her brother. My son would like it pointed out the first was so wobbly that it fell out with not much blood. The second the floor attacked him and it took year three a while to find it on the floor, it made up for the first on the blood front.

Since Tiggie arrived, I have spotted our spider population has gone down. I think we have lost all the large ones I know about.

I have picked up a cold, and spent today sneezing. Although what is worse is trying to chop onions with a runny nose and puffy eyes.

Our church had it's 20th birthday party today, and after we all sat outside Elliott's School eating spit roast pork. A brilliant time to catch up. I was asked to look at the vogue.com website and see if I could replicate any of the designers pages, as there may be a website like them needed.

I am really proud of my leather jacket and especially the dragon on the back. It is the second time I have worn it to church, no one has said anything, and the second time the dragon on the back has made me feel uncomfortable. .....
