Footy News

Well we played really well today and for once all the fans were behind the players. Lots of singing and a great atmosphere. We beat Derby 2-0 and deserved the win, as mentioned though we put Sunderland and Birmingham up. Mixed feelings or what !

Car News

Mmmm not a cheap day Friday, my car has been misfiring, running lumpy, going like a dog with 3 legs I dont know what you call it but it was not right. It needed a service so I had it booked in anyway and asked the garage to check the misfire, nothing turned up on the computer so it meant that they would have to try and diagnose it the old fashioned way. They did work it out in the end, the rocker gaskets had gone and meant that oil had got into the spark plugs and everywhere else. It had also messed up the ignition leads and meant that under load it was misfiring. New leads £150 plus VAT !!! Could not believe it and non Audi ones would cost £100 BUT I managed to get a 2nd hand pair from them and had those fitted. Car flys now ! and my pockets are very very light !

Toddler News

Max is teething quite a bit now. He has not had many teeth i.e. he is 17 months and only has 4 on top and just 3 on the bottom but it looks like all the others are coming in one go !!

Heres Max on Friday.

The News

House News

Faye has been busy painting the house, we are almost done now and have some touch up's to do plus the interior doors need to be done. Can not wait until we have finished everywhere. Also think we are going to have to replace the carpet because it is a very daft colour for a house containing a red wine drinker, a toddler and a puppy. It's cream. Well it's not very cream now !!!

I have also managed to build a small fence so we can let Max play out in the garden without fear of him falling over the wall.

I worked up quite a sweat......


Toddler news

Max has got so cheeky recently but it is so cute. He is running around everywhere and into everything. His hair is starting to grow back now so we should be able to get him to a proper hairdressers soon for a real cut rather then me having another go.
He has started to really like trains so every time he sees one he shouts choo choo.




Footy News

Well Palace have nothing to play for but a few players are out of contract so hopefully I will see a good game tomorrow against Derby. If we beat them though we send Birmingham and Sunderland up. After our history with Steve Bruce not sure I want us to win :-)

Hopefully next week when we play Colchester we might play the youngsters as neither team have anything to play for.

This time next year I will posting about our promotion. What went wrong, well our defenders forgot that they had to play together and midfield forgot to turn up for most of the season. Also really hope that we stop bringing all the players back when we are defending a corner as we can never counter attack.

This time last year I was posting about Millwall going down and to be honest I thought that they might of come straight back up. Not to be though and this year it looks very much like Dirty Leeds are going to be joining them. Unless Hull lose and Leeds win by 8 goals they are down. All in all not a bad season :-)

Mii Creations

I have created a couple of Mii's on the Wii:





And the one everyone does:
Blakey from On The Buses, Only joking it's Adolf

Wii-tastic

Hooray, have got my hands on a Wii. Been a while coming and I have been trying to get one for a bit now. On a positive note though the stock levels are starting to come through. I work for Comet and have heard that quite a few of our stores are getting them very very soon. I actually bought mine from Toys R Us !! traitor I know but I had to have it and we are not getting a staff discount on it anyway. Missed out on a few on Thursday during the day i.e. Woolworths and Virgin plus a few online but got a phone call in the evening of Thursday and if I wanted one then I had to drive over to Watford and get one from there.

First impressions are good and been having a good laugh on it.

My fitness rating / age on Wii Sports is 47 so will have to try and get that down over the nexrt few weeks !!!

At the start of March I posted that my card had been skimmed, only happened again ! different card BUT this time it was a card that I only use for business. It has though narrowed it down because I am now sure that the card was only used in 1 place that the other one was. It is the Total garage in Berkhamsted. Going to go in there and talk to the manager at some point this week. The police have been informed by my card people so we will see what happens. Got a phone call to ask if I happen to be in Canada ! I wish.

Pizza anyone?

Today Faye and I didn't fancy cooking so while I was putting the boy to bed Faye gave the Pizza company a call and I went to pick it up after he was down. Best to collect as you get a free pizza and they are only a 5 minute drive away.

I picked up the pizza's and got them home but half way though we both realised that we had the wrong ones ! I dont know why it took so long for us to realise ! I ring them up and start asking what he thought my order was because it was wrong. He starts going on that I have not ordered anything, I start saying of course I have blah blah blah, when it hits me that Faye has rung up one branch of Dominos and I collected from another. I humbly said I would call him back........

New post

I found an old post that I never actually poste so I posted and thought it would pop into todays date but it never :-0
