2 go to school!

7 09 2007

DanniAnd that’s it! Both the kids have officially started primary school now! Olivia started her third year on Tuesday, and Danni started her first this afternoon. Gem also starts on Monday, but not as a student! She’ll be working as a Walfare Assistant, which I think is a posh name for a dinner lady!

Basically, she has to keep an eye out on all the kids during their dinner time, and make sure that stuff happens, or stuff that shouldn’t happen, not happen. Not sure if that made any sense! Probably not!

I think the point is that both kids are growing up at a massive rate, and we really should be taking more photos of the kids as they continue to grow. I just wish we had the time to do so, but even at the weekends we seem to be getting more and more busy.

Ho hum…





Now in High Definition!

At long bloody last!

Last weekend we went and bought a 32″ High Def telly. A polaroid one. 400 quid. Not too shabby if you ask me! Speakers are a bit crap, but when I turn the Xbox 360 on…PHWOAR!

A while ago, I sold my PS3 on eBay, but the bloke who bought it wasn’t too happy with it, so that came back today. I took it down to Game and exchanged it for an Xbox 360 Elite! So I’ll be setting that up today and basking in pure High Def glory! I’ll slap some pics up at some point soon.

Next thing to think about though, is do I buy a HD-DVD player to go with it, or do I wait and see who comes out on top in the Blu-ray Vs HD-DVD war? I think I’ll wait for the time being. Next thing on the list to buy will be Sky HD.

I don’t know if I mentioned, but we’ll be moving house very soon! We’ve just bought a new house in Darwen. It’s only just finished being built ans we’re hoping to be in there in a couple of weeks, if not sooner. If only the builders solicitors would stop fucking us around. Tossers.

I suppose I’d better stop spending money until we’re moved in and settled!
