Updates???

Ok, yes I know... this blog has been neglected over the last couple of months, but I have been pretty busy.

In the time since the last blog was published there has been a pretty horrible shake up at work (a lot of people were made redundant, but somehow I survived) . It was a shame to see so many people get let go, but I guess life goes on.

One postive thing is that Mayte is getting plumper by the day and we only have 10 weeks to go. Managed to speak to Ant & Em (who now live in Dallas) the other day, Em also being heavily pregnant & due on the 1st October. Let me know how it goes.... Ant also mentioned that he wants to get over to the UK in the May timeframe next year.... we will have to try and co-ordinate something this time (big party could be called for).

On the matter of good news I have also heard from Emily & Phil who have recently got engaged. Well done guys, good luck for the future and let us know when the wedding is that we can get over to the UK.

We have also managed to decorate the babies bedroom. We have painted the room two different colours separated by a stick on middle border thingy (I have not got a clue what it is called). We only need to wait for the furniture to arrive now. Once it is complete I will take some photos.

Another thing that has entered my life over the last couple of days is lego Star Wars, the playstation 2 game. This is probably the most addictive, easy to play & fun game I have come across since owning my PS2... and has rekindled the fire for hours of hiding away chopping up the various baddies with a lightsaber (tops). I brought the oringinal game (version 2 is out in the shops now) as it is at a bargain price of €20 (about £12). Check out the following screen shot... class.
