See, the problem is these days, its often easier to summarise anything of interest in a couple of lines as a facebook status than it is to bother blogging

The occasional exception might be when I want to say something to a more 'select' audience. Mostly moaning though. Stuff like knowing my ex's family dont see this, so here its safe to mutter about my ex in laws sending Holly 1 birthday card, as is normal, but sending 2 to Amos, one from ex mil and one from ex fil. Their birthdays are a mere 10 days apart, would have been very easy for Holly to notice and comment, possibly even to be bothered. Fortunately she didnt, but it does irritate me the way they make their favouritism of him so flipping blatant

Oh well, very little I can do, and so far it doesnt actually cause the kids any issues.

My life has mostly carried on as usual, anything mildly interesting posted on fb. Likely to continue that way too. Kids are all fine, 6 weeks on Tuesday til they leave the country without me \o/ Dog is fine, back to vets this Tues, for update, erm, see facebook

Today has mostly been a lovely day. Abby had a birthday party from 12-2, and when we picked her up, we went straight to city centre for some shopping. Amos and Holly had birthday money burning holes in their pockets. For a bonus point guess who Holly likes based on what she bought.....2 Hannah Montana books, 7 packs of Hannah Montana stickers, a Hannah Montana goody bag, a Hannah Montana Wii game, and cos it was bogof, she also got a High School Musical Wii game too

Amos also got a Wii game, some Zelda thing. So now we have 3 new Wii games, and 1 Wii. Roll on the next round of bickering :-\

As we were in town, we went to Town Quay on the way home, just in time to see Grand Princess go past, and with plenty of time to be as close as possible to see QM2 leave. Well, publicly anyway. Along with quite a lot of other people we watched her slowly pulled outta berth by the tug, then turn and go off down Southampton Water. I never tire out watching the cruise ships go out.

We missed seeing Norweigan Jade leave, but had seen her earlier, good view from top of Ikea car park. Another HUGE one, though of the 3 today, QM2 looked biggest and is certainly the most impressive and prettiest to look at. Was nice to be right in town to watch them go for a change, normally we go to the big country park which is right on the water 3 or 4 miles further down, and dog enjoys it there too, but well, we have new wii games!!
