Wii Fit and Mario Kart

Wii Fit

We pre-ordered the Wii Fit a while ago from Tesco Direct and it turned up on Monday. Since then I have spent a bit on it BUT Faye has been on it loads. It's quite good from the quick go I had but Faye is unlocking all sorts of games and is loving it !

I also picked up Mario Kart for the Wii on Monday from Comet, after trying over the weekend to get the game my friend emailed and said that Comet have them in stock ! Didnt even realise that we would, that will teach me not to check the company I work for ! The game itself is a classic made better and I'm looking forward to playing him online tomorrow. Just wish I could get Faye off the Wii so I can practice.

Both are great games and I give them a Simmo thumbs up rather then the finger.

Wish I didnt say that !



Today has been a good day, although Palace can not get automatic promotion we had a very good win at Watford today and many of the other results also went our well. Nice to see that Charlton are not going to make the play offs this year and 3 points "should" be enough for us. Lets hope Wolves lose on Tuesday V Cardiff. Ref was really poor today and the guy next to me said he was ref for the FA Cup final :-0

Who would of thought it when Warnock took over and couldn't get a win !

Before the game we went into town, picture this, we went to a shop in Berkhamsted and the young shop assistants are chatting to Max as Faye paid for a few items and amazed at his talking skills for such a young boy when he starts touching the china items so I say "Max what do we say... looky looky NO Touchy touchy" in a slight Thai accent and he starts saying it. The girls did laugh it has to be said. As I walked up the road thinking about it I suddenly turn to Faye and said that I might of sounded a bit like a perv. She agreed....... Wish I didn't say that !

Catfish

The Simmonds
Photo is of us all last Sunday.

OK Since I posted back in September that the catfish had babies and seemed to love the Bioube. Well the tank is "infested" with them now :-0 We have 17 and they seem to be having babies every month. We are going to have to split them all up now as they keep breading and the tank is just too small for them.

Cool to have so many but bad for the tank and poor old Coppell has no space.

Off to Watford tomorrow for the footy, really looking forward to a quick journey rather then 1 1/2 hours each way. Might have to have a beer or two and I can enjoy getting to see the whole game. For some reason though the box office have sent me a concession ticket rather then an adult one. I have printed the confirmation off just in case the bloke on the door gets "Funny"

My car also failed the MOT so I have been ringing round the breakers to get a new seat belt, the baby car seat has started to tear the belt ! Audi want £150 for the belt plus they wont let me fit it so would be at least 1 hour's work at £110 the robbing bastards. I managed to get one and should get it soon but have to fit it. £45 delivered. Sorted. Do have a problem though as car is getting brakes done (also failed MOT on those) on Monday and the belt might not come until Monday so my timing on the re-test might be a bit... well screwed.

Watford FC

One Size who has thankfully left us

I had to smile as I saw the bbc pages updating last night and Watford went down 3-0 at home to Barnsley. They blew the chance to go top, we seem to be in a league where no one wants to actually go up!

We are playing them next week and seeing as they are now, by default, my "local" side I will be there in the away end.

Should we beat Scunthorpe on Saturday we will send them down and the game against Watford will have even more meaning as I can not see them (Watford) beating WBA on Saturday. What a tight league we have this year !

RIP Charlton Heston

Shame to hear about the great man, Planet of the Apes, Ben Hur and of course Wayne's World 2.



He will be missed.
