Well our modem died yesterday at 4.30pm. DH has just installed a newie, phew!

Amanda: Hope your parents arrived safely.
Nic: Let us know how the wedding goes... it's been ages since i've been to one.. wish somebody would get married.
IK: good to hear your day improved and that your DP wasn't too irrate.
Ali: WooHoo Tori! Niall hasn't rolled over YET... I think he must be the last Junior Junie to do it...
Jess: That's weird about the R.E agent not liking your kid's toys out the front... you'd think there would be bigger issues for them to be concerned about... our owners don't mind if our kids dig whopping great holes in the backyard... because I lovingly care for the front rose hedge... it's got to be give-and-take with rental houses. Still I pray every day that we will end up buying this place so we do look after it as if it's our own.

At a bit of a loose end... Wade is occupied with his Duplo train set that he only has access to on the weekends... DH is on his lap-top in our bedroom with Niall on his lap... hmmm... could do some baking, would warm up the house... what should I cook? Who bakes their own Christmas cake? For those who do who makes it a few months before Christmas so that it matures nicely (with regular application of rum?) We're staying home this Christmas and so I'm going to plan the usual 1950's style affair. I'm really looking forward to this Christmas... our family is the youngest it will ever be as a complete little unit...

Uh oh... Wade's just found a Chuppa Chupp that Verity had obviously stashed away secretly. She is currently at a friends place. How on earth am i going to get it off him without all hell breaking loose? *grooooan*

ETA: He handed it over to DH no questions asked! Good boy! Now I've stashed it secretly in the little used teapot on the kitchen mantle piece... hehe... let's see what transpires... Verity can't very well ask me where it is because she wasn't meant to have it in the first place! She won't get any sense out of Wade if she asks him! She might confess and say that she had one but has lost it... I suspect she acquired it when I asked her to go down to the shops recently (using my change) ... anyhow it'll be a handy bargaining tool...
