Great night out to see Michael McIntyre and car woes

Mummy and daddy managed to get out to the MotorPoint arena in Sheffield last night to see Michael McIntyre. It was a fantastic show that lasted just shy of 1hour 45 minutes. Grandma came round to watch Olly since he is still not completely right again following his week of illness. The boys were supposed to be spending the weekend at Grannies Cuckoo’s but Olly is just not up to being away from home so Grannie is coming over to ForkHall this afternoon and will stay here with them. Mummy and Daddy are heading to the charity dinner tonight and staying over at the venue.

As it happens, Olly is still not out of bed and it is now 11am !!!!

Dave the car dent guy has been around this morning and fixed up the little ping on Emily’s roof (she came with it) but could not easily perform his magic on Bruce as his wings are double skinned – hence would need to drill a hole in it etc. At which point, it may as well have a proper job including painting doing, so Simon is going to take Bruce down to Grant next week to get it professionally dealt with 🙂

Sicky Olly :-(

Poor Olly came out of school last night with a temperature on the way – his face was flushed and he had bright red cheeks.  He gradually declined as the evening progressed, albeit managed via calpol and ibruprofen.  He did not sleep well during the night and kept mummy up for a significant portion of the night 🙁

So, he has not been into school today and has been in and out od sorts all day with wanting to be cuddled, then not cuddled etc

This is definitely not the usual temperature issue however, as he started vomiting at around 16:45 and has had 4 episodes of sickyness since then – it is only 17:56 now…

Typically today is Christopher Leech’s 18th birthday, so daddy is going to go along to celebrate with Chris at his birthday dinner, leaving mummy behind to look after Olly 🙁

Hopefully he has got the bug out with the sickyness and he will get a decent night’s sleep tonight…

Fingers crossed little dude….

It’s Friday already ….

Incredible how quickly the weeks are slipping by.

We were reminded by the radio earlier in the week tag the are now less than 100 days from Christmas – good job we started with the Christmas shopping last Sunday then 🙂

Poor Olly was tired today – he was up at 5am bright and perky – then has been swimming at school after lunch, so fell asleep in the car on the way home – it’s less than 4 miles !!!

To top it all, the poor monkey rolled over and fell off the couch and woke with a bit of a shock. So we let him sleep for an hour in our bed, thus when 8pm came around, he had no desire for further sleep.

We have another birthday party this weekend – it is Gracie Box’s sledging party at Xscape in Castleford – not sure about the boys, but Daddy is looking forward to the sun in the snow 🙂

The boys have had a great weekend – mummy and daddy had a good one too :-)

Grannies brought the boys back at 4pm today – they have had a fun packed weekend including: bus trip to Halifax, Great Grandma’s, Charlie Fast Tracks, Sunday lunch and a a couple of sleep overs in between 🙂

Mummy and daddy went out for a bike ride with Uncle Tim on Saturday, and then out for dinner to the Kaye Arms on Saturday night (without Uncle Tim although he did kindly drop us off s that we could fill up on champagne cocktails and red wine 🙂

Then, today we have managed to get out to Costco and we have FINALLY got a new kettle – yay. No more 15 minutes to boil the water for Tea 🙂

We have also done our first bit of Christmas shopping – that right CHRISTMAS shopping and it is September….. 🙁

Weekend at Grannies :-)

Granny Cuckoo is coming round after work tonight and taking Elliot and Oliver for a weekend at her house. As usual they are full of it, and just this afternoon Oliver was talking about going to Charlie Fast Tracks – let’s hope they are going there this weekend, or there’ll be trouble 🙂

Hopefully Olly will behave himself as he has been struggling this last couple of weeks with his temper and his attitude in general.

In other news, the Costa Coffee T-Discs arrived yesterday for the new tassimo machine and WOW – they are GOOOOOODDDDDD :-). just need to ensure that we don’t get too much into caffeine and have too many 🙂

With the kids being out this weekend, we are hoping to get out on the bikes for a nice ride out – we both feel like we need the exercise and we don’t often get the chance to go out on the bikes at the moment and certainly not together 🙁
