St Valentines Day today.

Simon has today and the rest of the week off work, and while we had planned to go off for a couple of days, it seems to have not occurred in the end 🙁

So, we ended up down at Meadow hall for a little bit of shopping and some lunch, before heading home as Vicky had a hair appointment this afternoon.

Think we may end up with a bottle of Champagne in front of the TV this year…….

The snow fell heavily on Friday night – Simon woke on Saturday at 9am looking forward to playing with the boys in the snow – to find………

…… it had ALL gone – there were 2 to 3 inches on the ground and it was still snowing when we went to bed 🙁

Elliot decided on Saturday that he does not particularly like his BMW car seat – much to the amusement of Simon and Vicky – NOT !!!!  The new plan seems to be to borrow Vicky’s mum’s seat until he is a bit bigger and fits his own seat better – let’s just hope that we haven’t wasted all that cash – Simon will be in for fun if it has been wasted…..

At least the sun has been shining today, so the boys have had a half decent walk and are thankful for it – poor Pepsi was beginning to think he wouldn’t be getting the chance to lick the pavement again.

We have Wednesday thru Friday off on holiday next week, so we need to figure out pretty quickly if we are going to do anything remotely special or just laze about Fork Hall.

Bath night again tonight……..

Apparently it is just a cold and has not affected either Vicky or Elliot’s chest – which is of course great news.

The doctor was very nice and basically suggested we all breathe plenty of steam with menthol.  So, when Elliot had his bath tonight, we filled the sink and the main bath with the stuff – we aren’t fixed yet 🙂

Apparently it has snowed over by Simon’s office today – seemed a great shock bearing in mind the sun was shining and we had a perfect blue sky in Ossett.

Simon has spent all weekend in a state of significant illness – seemingly flu, but then who can tell?

We also looked after the Leech kids while Guy and Anita had a “short break” (as Christopher called it) in Amsterdam as part of the 40th birthday celebrations.  We just hope that they have not contracted the illness that Simon has got.

Late on Sunday, Vicky came down with the lurgy as well and has spent most of Monday (today) in bed feeling pretty sorry for herself.  It seems that Vicky finally accepts that Simon was ill after all, and was not in fact just skiving from looking after the kids.

Vicky and Elliot are booked into see the doctor tomorrow as the last thing we need is for Elliot to contact this bug, and then get really knocked off all of his patterns etc.

We’ll see how we all feel in the morning…….

The website has been down for a few days as we have experienced DNS issues – we apologise for the inconvenience.

Elliot went to the doctors today for his final set of injections – THREE of the blighters today – again, for 25 seconds (or so) he was extremely dissatisfied with the service he received from the nurses, and then he fell asleep and normal service was resumed – nice!

It is a little warmer outside at the minute as well – not sure how long that will be lasting though.

Simon has finally got is lazy ass in the gym a couple of times this week, and if we ignore the whining from sore muscles (yes apparently he has some under the flab) he is really enjoying getting back into it.  Typically he has found a way to spend more cash in that he JUST NEEDS a heart monitor now and of course the cheapest one simply will not do……..
