Where Do I Get the Bus Pass

Well, thats that then. Im officially old.Past it. Grown up. At the moment Ive got to say that perhaps unsurprisingly it doesn't feel much different then it did a couple of days ago, except Im much poorer following a couple of days at Babington House in Somerset to celebrate. Very nice, and very expensive. We went on a last minute deal which made it just about affordable, (hey, Im an accountant - what do you expect?). Kate's already planning a return trip, Id better start saving...

Kate wanted to put a picture of David and Jac's baby, George, on the site for all of you who haven't yet seen him, and David was kind enough to provide this photo. Aint he cute? George that is, not David - though Jac must see something in him.

Note to Kate - This does not mean Im broody. (Kate has this habit of interepting any mention of babies by me as the fact that Im broody!

Abby & Jessica

I was babysitting Helens twins last night with Sarah. It was great fun playing Mummy!! They are about 9 months old now and are very cute! I fed and changed Jessica which was my first nappy change in a long while! Luckily it wasnt a smelly one! We got through the evening unscathed so we might be offering our services again soon!

Now I'm Getting Worried

Babies seem to be springing up everywhere these days, now Kate's boss has had another one. Id only just calmed her down from meeting George! And to make things even worse tonight she is babysitting Helen's twins. And worryingly, since her 5 day abstention from chocolate she claims shes going off the stuff...

No Willpower!!!

I'm afraid that I buckled! I only managed 5 days without chocolate! But thats not bad for me!! I started to get a bit tetchy/ grumpy at the weekend and the toblerone was calling me! I also had a cream egg yesterday and it didn't taste as good as it used too! Perhaps I'm going off chocolate! I seem to have lost my cravings for at the moment! Bizarre!
But I don't think I'll ever last 2 months without chocolate! I'll just have to spend Duncan's money on holidays & DIY rather than babies!!!

Frustrated Holidaymakers?

Taken from the BBC here.

At Stansted Airport the access road has been closed to the public from Friday due to increased security measures.

Am I alone in wondering how the passengers actually get to the airport???

Crave Control

I've managed nearly 3 days without chocolate now! My friend gave me some patches called 'crave control' which do actually help! They smell of vanilla. But cadburys cream eggs keep appearing in my head!! I don't think I'll make it to easter!!

Business Latest

The BBC are reporting that Cadbury's made record profits last year (here), not sure that this years outlook will be quite so rosy if Kate's serious about giving up chocolate....

Correction...

I believe what I actually said was more like "I'll think about it", I would have said Kate could have one but she seemed far too ready to try giving up chocolate, and we all know how much she loves that. Anyway, still think Im fairly safe as the 16 hours include 8 sleeping.

New Arrival

Just incase you haven't heard, Jackie & David had a baby boy last thursday called George. He was 7lbs and has lots of hair! We went to see him last night and he is very cute! I want one!!
Duncan said if I can give up chocolate for 2 months I can have a baby!! So I'm trying to give up for a week to start with! I've managed 16 hours so far! Not bad eh?!
