Simon is en-route to London today and has figured out it is COLD !!!

The weather has definitely turned for the autumn it seems. the central heating is now on full force in Fork Hall, and standing on the station platform, the icy breeze is making light work of the rain coat Simon is wearing 🙁

The rain yesterday was pretty torrential and has once again fully tested all of the drainpipes and gutters in the streets of the Yorkshire (and further afield) properly. Apparently one months rainfall in just 24 hours. Hopefully there will not be too much more over the coming days.

Hoping for sunshine in the big smoke 🙂

Poor Olly….

….. is being exceptionally painful at the moment. It seems like the last couple of weeks he has simply ignore every single one of our requests and appears unwilling to behave himself at all.

We are unsure as to whether he is just plain starving when he gets back from school and that it the main cause of the issues, or perhaps if he is just revolting due to not wanting to be at school.

The poor little monkey also seems to be suffering from explosive diahorrea during the week as well :-(. We have tried excluding diary products from his diet to no avail, so are left wounding if he is suffering some form of anxiety about being at school – perhaps this is also causing the behavioural issues also….

Elliot’s fab birthday party at PartyDreamz in Huddersfield

Yesterday afternoon, Elliot had his birthday party at PartyDreamz in Huddersfield. It was a two hour gig from 13:30 for 15 of his friends and family. It was a Heroes and Villains party and while he was lined up all week to go as Darth Vader, he elected at the 11th hour to go as Superman instead.

Right from the off, Morris had Elliot as the centre of attention while still having ALL the children directly involved – it worked really well for him, and particularly since there were only 16 children, it did not overpower Elliot at all – mega winner 🙂

They played all sorts of party games, made their own little cakes, had a party lunch and used the chocolate fountain with fruit and marshmallows 🙂

The great news is that all the children appeared to have a great time and all went home with big smiles can their faces and lots of cool stuff in their goodies bags.

While PartyDreamz was a distance from most people’s houses, I think it was really worth the venture out as Morris is one of the best (if not, THE best) children’s entertainer that we have ever seen 🙂

Olly bored with school now….

Well, Vicky predicted that Olly would bore of school in two to three weeks right back one his second day. she has typically been proven quite right as he has not wanted to go to school any day this week. Today he was better than the previous four days but we think that was because it was only a half day (swimming at the big school in the afternoons on Fridays).

Hopefully next week will be better. Cross your fingers for us.

We traded the Porsche (Bobby) in this week (Wednesday) and are now the proud owners of a year old BMW 118d M Sport in metallic black called Emily. Emily purports to be able to do 60+ mpg and costs a whole £30 per year in road fund license :-). Given Bruce and Tina are almost £500 each, that is pretty damned good value :-). Oliver is pleased as punch about Emily’s appearance as he is mad about BMW’s for some reason. He actually refused to get in mummy’s car yesterday after school as daddy was out in Leeds with Emily.

Tina was put up for sale last weekend although there has been no serious buyers in the frame yet 🙁
