Sunburn

Well we took the boys to the park yesterday and I had a nice sunbathe, but got a bit sunburnt too. It wasn’t as busy as I thought it might be but maybe people went off for the day.

We’ve seen a new jeep we’d like and we’re going to test drive it this week. It’s very big but has everything we need, even sat nav and tv’s in the back for the kids. I know petrol’s getting more expensive and there are going to be taxes on big cars but it’s what we need really so we can’t be bullied into getting something that’s less safe just because the government want more money. We pay enough in taxes anyway and I don’t know where it all goes.

More Home Improvement

Well the home improvement continues with us laying a new patio at the front of the house. I also picked up some door panels at the weekend because the doors in the house are quite shabby. I got them at a sort of architectural/conversation piece shop and they were quite expensive.

We’ve been looking at new cars recently too. With the kids getting older we need more space to take them out so possibly will get a land rover.They’ve got one next door that’s ok but we’re looking to get a newer one really.

Better

I feel a lot better now. It’s taken a long time but i’m finally over my flu. We took the boys up to Brimham Rocks yesterday when it stopped raining. They absolutely loved it but it made me a bit nervous to see them clambering all over dangerous rocks. We’ve taken them before but only when they were very young so it made a nice change for them. I’ve been too ill to play with them really so they’re glad to have me back!

More Linen

I got some more cheap linen this morning for the spare room. We’ve never really done anything with it to be honest (it currently houses a bare bed and an ironing board) but it’s about time to make the room look nice.
