What did you do this weekend?

Me? I went to the FA Cup Final in Cardiff. I was lucky enough to get a great ticket through work, so a devoted Arsenal fan from work and I trooped off to Wales early Saturday morning. I think the entire town of Southampton took a trip to Cardiff given the sea of yellow that was everywhere we looked. Just about every pub waqs full of them, though we did manage to find one with a few Arsenal fans in.
The atmosphere and noise in the stadium before kick-off was sinly amazing, you couldn't hear yourself think. The game was quite good, though the second half got a bit scrappy. It was a great day out and if you're interested some photos I took can be found here. It's one more item crossed of the list of things to do before I die...

May Day Project

Here are our May Day Project photos taken last saturday showing our day. It wasn't the most eventful day but it might be of interest to some people! Check out other peoples photos at The Mayday Project

Web Site Changes - Just for Lisa

I've finally gotten around to changing the comments page so that it should remember you, saving you the need to re-enter your details each time. Happy now Lisa?

We Tried to Tell Them

Steve and I told Kate that the oldest person in the Stand & Stare was 17, so they would feel old. And that was before we found out it was School Disco night.

When you reach 30 lads nights just don't seem the same. We just sat in the pub putting the world to rights over several pints of beer. Of course, the fact that the pub didnt seem to have much to look at didn't help...

What Kate fails to mention is that the jeans she bought in French Connection cost £55, she only had vouchers for £15. Still to all you girlies out there it probably makes sense.

Bank Holiday Weekend

Hope you all had a good weekend. Ours was fairly mundane which is why I don't always update our website but I suppose I should anyway. We went out with Claire P, Claire H and Caz on friday night which was good. The Hand & Spear was having a 'school disco' night so we didn't blend in that well! Comments like - 'She'll catch her death if she goes outside like that' and 'god I feel old' spring to mind! But their double vodkas and redbull were only 1.95! So we had one and left!
Then we went to Sullivan's which was much more civilised, but very crowded and a little to 'old' for us! So we had one and went to the Queens Head which was much more our cup of tea, but this is where Dunc and Steve had gone for their lads evening, so they weren't to pleased to see us! Cramping there style!

Saturday I went to Helen's twins 1st birthday party. We bought them a musical phone which they were mesmerised by.
Sunday I painted 3 garden fence panels which took me all day! And I'm worried that the green I've used is too dark but I've started now!
Monday I went shopping with Caroline to Kingston and bought some expensive jeans in French connection because I had some vouchers! As good a reason as any! I blame Caroline!
