It's Over

I have been picked to be a beta tester for the FM LIVE game from sigames, here is the
link and between that and watching the last couple of Prison Breaks see you all soon !!!!

I will post about the game and the other links soon........

Kitchen

CURRENT KITCHEN

Well we have finally started to order the bits for the kitchen. So far we have a sink and tap physically in our hands and have made an order for the units from Ikea. We ordered them over the web rather then actually making the painful trip to Ikea.

We have gone for the high gloss white Abstrakt ones and I will try and post some plans up. We are getting the worktops from somewhere else though and have gone for solid oak ones.

Update more later. I'm addicted to Prison Break at the moment so have to watch that now !!!

Harry Potter

Faye got the book and I read the back page......... It was all a dream :-0

Nothing in life is FREE !!!!

OK so we now have two 16 year old girls that say they have been duped in to carrying drugs.

Yasemin told Channel 4 News on Thursday night they were tricked into carrying drugs to London.

Speaking by telephone from prison in Accra, she said: "There were basically two boys over here who gave us two bags and told us... it was an empty bag.

"We never thought anything bad was inside... and they told us to go to the UK and drop it off to some boy... at the airport."

"It was basically like a set-up. They didn't tell us nothing, we didn't think nothing, because basically we are innocent.

"We don't know nothing about this drugs and stuff."

First of all you get asked to go on a "free" holiday and then to carry 2 empty bags back to the UK, what the fuck do you think are you going to be carrying? I'm sorry but I say lock them up for 10 years at least and lets hope they dont have kids !!!

I'm sure at 16 years old I will still be helping Max out and lets be honest if we ever let him go on a "free" holiday to bring back an "empty" bag then we also deserve to be sharing porridge with him.

Fuckwits and I do try really hard never to swear on this site !

"I'm carrying back an empty bag but it is weighed down a bit by 300K worth of Coke." Well it ain't empty then is it !

Bubble Boy

Today, thanks to a work health plan, I went to the Bupa hospital over in Harpenden for some test because I have not been able to breath through my nose and snore quite a bit. I also wake up with bruised ribs but then that is where Faye jabs me during the night to turn on to my side.

I had a thing shoved up my nose and ended up taking an allergy test, As it turns out I'm allergic to my house i.e. Dust and Dogs :-) ! The Dr though wants me to get floorboards rather then carpets etc. etc. well it wont happen because personally I'm not a fan of wood floors. We will get the carpet cleaners in and will also start to look another hoover. Ours is only a couple years old but it's suction is not as good as it was. I have tried cleaning it out etc. but it's just not that good. Was a £200 hoover like a Dyson but maybe not as good as it turns out.

I have been given a spray and some allergy tabs and go back in a month. If it solves the swelling in the nose and my sinus and breathing is better then I will probably be on the spray and tabs for ever and if not then I need to look at surgery to "bore" the nose passage a bit bigger.

I called Faye and she seemed almost disappointed that they never found any lumps or bits obstructing the nose and it was only swollen ! Think Faye wanted a quick answer by surgery to my snoring !

Kitchen

Above photo by Flickr user John Wilkie what a stunning shot.

Found it while looking for a shot of "Oak" because Faye and I are looking into replacing the kitchen and one option is Oak worktops. I would like to know if anyone has them and what their thoughts are on them.

We are also looking at Ikea so any thoughts of the quality etc. on their kitchens would be good as well. I have read about there not being enough of a void behind the cabinets but I am now looking at using a wooden baton to bring the base unit out if needed.

Should be fun trying to organise all of the bits to happen in the correct order and making sure I can get the correct people at the right time i.e. Plasterer as soon as the old units are removed. I am going to try and do most of it myself with some help from my Father in-law. I will keep you updated with plans and ideas.

Berkhamsted Bird of Prey

We had bit of a "shock" this morning, we was loading Max into the car at about 9 this morning. We heard some rustling in the trees and looked up to see a bird in a bit of distress. Couldn't quite work it out and then all of a sudden a Falcon lands on our front garden really close to us with a chick from the bird box (on the tree opposite our house) in it's talons. It then flew off when the chicks parents came down but it never let go of the chick. Was really quite cool to see and I wish that we had our camera ready.

Spice Girl Post

Well the wife wanted to know why on earth I posted about the Spice Girls getting back together because I'm not a fan, she never got the reason for the post so now I have a feeling that maybe people are going to label me as a Spice Girl fan :-0

The reason for the post was a joke on the flag they were holding and Gerri's mini skirt from all those years ago.

Just for the record I'm not a spice girl fan !

Biube

We are looking at sorting out or should I say ripping out our kitchen and replacing it. The Ikea high gloss with Oak tops seem to be our fave at the moment. I am going to try and I mean try to use Google Sketch to get an idea of the look because the online planner does not work with the mac (or Vista ! so I can not boot into that !)

In preparation of that though we have to do a few things and one is to move the fish from the kitchen to a new home so we went the whole hog and bought them a new tank, stand etc. It is called the Biube and if it does what it says then it should make looking after them a lot easier.

In over a week the tank still looks very clear and the LED light is really good. So it looks good and the fish (2 Fancy, 3 Cat fish and 1 fantail) are all happy. The white fancy fish is Coppell after Steve Coppell as he used to be a more Copper colour and the other fancy fish is Damien because Faye liked the name and I wont call a son of mine that. Those 2 are about 6 years old now. The others have no name.

Who will have my Fowler?

Now that they have all left Eastenders it turns out that Robbie Fowler is the latest Fowler to struggle getting work.

I would have down at the Palace, Get the cheque book out Mr Jordan although I bet it's a lot of money for him and we need a fast pacy forward.
