Just gone down so we have about a 45 minute wait until we see him again sans tonsils…
He is in…

Big day is here
The day has arrived and we are sat in Barnsley waiting to go in…
We are third on the list so should be in pretty quickly (11am apparently) – seems that today is Tonsils day an there are four little ones readying themselves.
All the prep work has now completed and we are simply waiting for the GO.
The night before the big event….
…. so Olly’s tonsils are coming out in the morning – I think we are as ready as we ever will be 🙁
Hopefully we will be of the first on the list and hence he will be of the first to be able to head home with us…
We need to be at the hospital for 8am, with the operation being sometime before lunch, with an 8 hour rest period after he comes around, during which he must eat etc etc before they will let us take him home again. Elly is booked in to Grandma’s so he is all set.
Olly has Tilly (his new cat that is coming to keep him company – Auntie Clare brought her round for him yesterday) and we will be taking a few books and toys for him to play with in the long afternoon.
Mummy and Daddy are armed with books and a picnic to while the hours away….
See you all on the other side….
Clumber Park Day
Yesterday we visited Clumber Park in Worksop, Nottinghamshire with Elliot’s class friend Jessica and her parents. We have never been there before but will most certainly go back there with bikes and picnic etc again.
The weather held out until the moment we were leaving (the heavens opened on us as we drove out onto the road just outside the park) so that was pretty much perfect.
Sadly Olly was not on good form yesterday as he had several mini-meltdowns and one pretty major meltdown during the trip – all pretty much about nothing 🙁
We played cricket, football, tennis and also with the spinning tops (helicopters and tyres) that Oliver got for Christmas (and that we have not really played with due to needing HUGE open space) for what seemed like no time but that had actually been a few hours 🙂
We definitely look forward to returning to the Park at some time in the not too distant future…
New smart heating controls in ForkHall
Daddy has just finished installing the new Owl Intuition Internet controls for the ForkHall central heating.
Basically it is a super smart system that takes controls from the Internet, which means iPhone control to you and I :-). We can now tell our central heating to get the house warmer from our mobile phones from anywhere in the world.
Obviously Mummy is 100% unimpressed with the spend on this system and will forever be reminding daddy of the waste of cash that this all was 🙁
It also gives us an online running commentary of electricity usage and hence cost, all from the iPhone again 🙂
Looking forward to getting more visibility of our electricity usage to try to reduce wherever possible 🙂
