Baby News

Faye and I are expecting another baby, No.2 or Chilli as I am calling him/her is due on the 2nd February. We had our 20 week scan today and everything is good. Max will be 2 Years and 2 months old, gawd help us !

We could of found out what we are are expecting but we never, Faye thinks girl and I think boy.

It's quite strange the second time round because I'm not "following" the pregnancy anywhere as close as I was with Max. It is going really fast this time and we are not preparing like we did last time. Guess we best start sorting it out soon.

Max does understand all ready that Faye has a baby in the tummy and today Baby Digger seemed like a good name to him. Have to admit I quite like that too.

Max does an advert...

For those in the UK, not sure if it was shown in other countries, who remembers the Guinness advert where the bloke stands around waiting for his pint to be poured?

Well I got the camera out to video Max doing his drum impression for a mate at work and imported it into iMovie. If you have used iMovie with iSight you will know that as soon as you remove your camera it defaults to the built in iSight. Max started staring at himself on the computer and went a little bit "strange" I managed to record most of it and the video I have uploaded to youtube has hardly any editing on it. It is also worth pointing out that there was no music or anything going on in the house. Just a Normal Sunday morning really ;-)

Movie is HERE, it is 14 meg and about 3 minutes long

Kitchen is getting there

Managed to get most of the handles on today BUT have not bought enough and also have a slight problem with 2 cupboards being too close and the handles will clash so I will have to buy a "knob" for a cupboard rather then a nice handle.

I have posted some photos on flickr, must get a pro account this week !, but this is before and now. I say now because it is still not finished so therefore is not an after.

Catfish News..

The babies are starting to venture out a bit more and Faye managed to get the above photo of one of them.

Kitchen News.

Getting there, still needs a paint, the handles screwed on, under sink area sorted, plug socket set it wall, new window ledge installed plus of course the blue protection removed to show off the nice white under them plus a 101 other little jobs.

This is the cabs going in.


This is Bill (My father in law) working on the plumbing.


And this is the hob and sink plus oiled worktops. They have had about 4 coats of oil so far with a light sand in between. Hard work but have been told numerous times that it is so important to oil it at the start. I am going to try and oil it once a day for first week then every 3 days for a couple of weeks before going to once every other week. That should sort it.



I was thinking of having oak ends but once we started looking it would of been too much. So I now have 2.9m of solid oak going on ebay !

Catfish Parents

Faye cleaned out the fish tank and discovered that our catfish have mated and we have at least 2 baby catfish !!

I will try and get a photo when I can but they are quite quick !

Here is a picture of our worktops, all ready for cutting. The kitchen is still drying so we can not paint it just yet but I have started to put some units together and set them up on the wall that has not been plastered. My father in law is down tomorrow to give me some help with the kitchen for a couple of days and it is still on course to be finished in a few days time.





Went to the football on Saturday and well, sometimes you have to ask why.....

Warnock to replace Taylor is the latest rumour, not sure if that is what I want.
