Happy Halloween!

William found his Pumpkin dad whilst walking home along the river last night. A pub crawl of people all things Halloween where delighted with William!




Sorry i haven't blogged a lot lately...iv been lazy. But some stuff iv been up to over last couple of months......

Had me some good veg that i grew my very own self. Lots of beans, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, more beans, more tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and onions.

Started evening classes in Clothes making and ceramics and LOVE it! I love going along and enjoying that feeling of school again, don't know why but i thrive in environments like that, love learning and love the social. Tried to be cool on first day of dress making class with all the other cool stylish girls.....couldn't figure out why they where all getting perfectly straight lines and mine looked like id been on the gin all night...finally figured out the foot of the sewing machine (the thing where the needle goes), was up in the air and also didn't see that there are guide lines on the machine! May have to take another term in this subject!
Also tried to be cool in ceramics, got my first pinch pot to big and thin and it started to split...decided to save it by being arty and abstract and gathered it together to make it look intended. Week later went to collect pot. Was shamefully embarrassed to admit it was mine as it looked like William had made it! Teacher made me keep using it to practice slip and glazes on so had to carry it round for a few weeks after too!

Anthony moved his office into shed. He loves his man space now. And i love not sharing Williams room with Anthony's office! It was necessary for our marriage to continue! So we did a big clear out and made some cash at a car booty! I was amazed at the magpie people who bought all our junk!



Love Autumn. Love Love Love it! Love taking Autumn walks in the parks, wading through the leaves and the colours! London looks great in autumn.

Every group of friends should have a kelly boy!

Kelly boy, you are wasted in the police what ever it is you do there service, seriously are centre parcs paying you on the sligh??

OK so we are gearing up for what has become an annual winter trip to Centre Parcs. For the last hmm so many years (my first trip was 2004) we (meaning me and friends of mine), have organised a trip to centre parcs. At first we simply jumped on the band wagon of the furbancs' Christmas tradition, and when we where single we'd all pile in on floors etc...but each year we continue to go back as we multiply (babies...not aliens).

This is now mainly due to Kelly Boy who organisers it each year. If it wasn't for him well we would all be to lazy to sort it out and leave it too last minute where we then wouldn't be able to afford the late booking prices. But early bird Kelly now organises it a year in advance. I know I'm boring you but just check out how on top of it he is,
This is a facebook message he sent out today:

Ok, some more info...the lodge comes with one cot and one high chair. More are available at a cost, another high chair is £6, cot is £13. Please let me know if you need to order these items, we have a spare travel cot that we probably wont be using.

Last year some people complained of allergies, if this was down to dust then there's not too much we can do. I'm hoping this wont be an issue in the newer style lodges. If this was due to the duck down duvets, you can either bring your own or we can request synthetic during our stay, subject to availability.

There are some local shops, a good size tesco is a 2 min drive away, postcode IP27 0ER. A large sainsburys is a bit further, IP24 3QL, and a 24hr tesco with pharmacy and petrol the same distance, IP24 2RL. (kelly will love that bit!)

The postcode to use for Center Parcs is IP24 3TR. You can arrive anytime from 10am and use facilities, although the swimming can only be accessed from 2pm on arrival day. The gates open at 3pm for us to drive to the lodge, we will need to return our cars to the main car park soon after. From personal experience there is usually a fair bit of traffic soon after opening time.

Technically, due to the number of kids, we should be staying in two lodges, they will be expecting 2 under 2year olds and thats it. I will pre-check us all in so when you turn up at the gate just have the booking ref number and lodge number (found at beginning of this thread) and there shouldnt be a problem, we will have to kind of smuggle hudson and one more kid, either annabelle or eli, whichever one is 2 or over. They dont really go through the cars and check. (sorry for the length of this message)



Sheeeesh!

This is just one example of his SUPER centre parcs knowledge! haha.
So Bravo Kelly.. and i hope every one is lucky enough to have someone in their circle of friends who is organised enough to sort these things out other wise we'd never do anything! Thanks Kelly Boy!

oh OK, so for those reading who are wandering why i name Kelly's gender after his name, this is because Kelly, a Mormon English boy, happened to meet a Mormon English girl also called Kelly. Against the eerie Indiana odds(and really what are the odds), they fell in love and got married and now have a child called......Hudson! Not Kelly haha as if...they're not Hick ville! Anyway to differentiate between the two we now call them Kelly Boy or Kelly girl or as plural; The Kelly's.


So centre parcs here we come!
