Been a great day, I have enjoyed Joys birthday and judging by her huge smile all day, well for the past week, she has enjoyed it too :)

It appears that I have been responsible for causing a few women to shed a tear today, sorry wasn't my intention! Honest. :)

I just hope no one does a surprise party for my 40th Birthday ;) oh wait, a bit late I missed 40 out didn't I..

At Harrold & Odell Country Park for lunch with the birthday girl..

Its Joy's 40th Birthday today. Happy Birthday Beautiful one.. Hope its a great day for you.

Had 2 meetings back to back this morning, left me exhausted. Used to have that all the time with no problems!

The great Marmite WAR is definatelly ON, go to http://bit.ly/aYXEVb and join the Marmite Hate Party to see Marmite banned...

Nice and peaceful now the kids are both in bed asleep, here's to a good nights sleep...

well, Nat has been tired and crotchety today and Stevens behaviour has been distinctly undesirable! nuf said! other than that, the end of a good weekend.

St Neots Riverside park....

Sitting in the sun drining coffee, watching Nat play in play area whilst Joy has gone into town shopping & Steven out with carers, life doesnt get much more chilled than this!

Well It's the weekend, been a bitty week but been good.. relaxing most of the day, birthday tea for Joy later, with a few friends.

can't quite see Steven at college sitting through 'lectures' or doing work placements, can't they just GET REAL!

Just deleted an e-mail claiming I had 'won' $4 Million in a draw I never entered, wanted all my personal & bank details, including personal details such as mothers maiden name! I think I can live without the money! Or am I just being cynical?

Last night in Wales, tomorrow we travel home, mixed feelings, really sad to leave this beautiful place but so looking forward to the child free hours when they get back to school...

its nearing the end, this time tomorrow we will be back in Bedford, not sure whether its a good thing, really enjoyed the holiday but am now totally shattered, after intensive care of the kids, so will go back to work for a rest.

OH I forgot, got a really exciting start back to work Tuesday, a day long training session, something to REALLY look forward to.

Steven been awake about 45 Minutes, we are going out, 1 last beach session, to keep Nat happy, before heading South and East tomorrow. Steven is still not very well though.

Steven had another fit just after 7am, double dose of sedation administered, that will be him out for the count pretty much all morning.

Had a good day BUT both kids have been in a funny mood all day!

Do you think Paul & Christine would notice if we accidentally forgot to go home tomorrow? or perhaps we could just become squatters, anyone know the legal situation on holiday let gusts becoming squatters?

correction coming up, we are due to go home Monday not tomorrow!

OK so we were awake at 1.30am with Steven fitting, huge dose of meds given again! he is fine this morning but myself and Joy are both pretty tired! Just for a change.

Natalie decided to 'help' by putting both the washing machine and the dishwasher on, trouble was, we weren't ready for them to go on just yet.

Had a great evening out with Joy, whilst our friend Paul sat the kids for us (not a normal part of the service when you stay at their place) was really enjoyable, thanks Paul we do appreciate all you do for us.

The remains of Duck, not a lot left! Now waiting for Lemon & Lime Zest..

Steven playing ln the beach @ Crickieth

whoever stole Mt Snowdon overnight has returned it whilst we were out this afternoon, glorious sunny evening here if a bit chilly but then it is still April, and not a drop of rain in sight all week :)

btw another good day, late start again due to Stevens seizure, then Beddgelert for lunch followed by a trip to Crickieth, short beach session and icecream/coffee, before heading home.

well it is dry! but absolutelly freezing outside and someone has stollen Mount Snowdon

WELL I got back to bed around 5.40 and had a lie in until 8.20, Steven is still asleep now! Joy didn't bother going back to bed so has been awake since 5am!

If I go to bed and ignore the computer do you think the Gigabyte Fairies will come in and find the Outlook data folder for me?

lost my Outlook data folder somehow! I have a backup copy lurking around, automated hourly backups take place! But I dont seem able to recover from there either!

Lake Padern Railway

been on the Lake Padern Railway this afternoon, they went out of the way to make the kids feel special.

Having a bit of a lazy start to the day, Steven had a seizure around 7.30 and is still sleeping, just been sat outside in the Garden drinking coffee and enjoying the sunshine & scenery, its gorgeous.

oh and playing with the dog, Ros, she is a beautiful Wlsh Collie who loves cahsing after sticka and balls, very therapeutic but she doesn't seem to like Nat, finds her too noisy and boistrous! much to Nats sadness as she wants to play with her.

another good day today, drive over the mountains to Criccieth and another session on the beach....

On the beach, again! Lovely weather still :)

Meet the neighbours, so rude of me I forgot to introduce you to the neighbours, well here are a couple, the rest, several hundred, look just like these. except Paul & Christine of course!

feeling very drained and tired this evening, not had much 'rest time' this holiday, but then don't expect that with our kids!

Well, Day 3 of Wales and still beautiful sunshine the whole way!, managed to get a session on the beach this afternoon, everyone is enjoying themselves so much.

the Bidett or howevever it is spelt!

Last night Nat said 'whats that funny sink for?' I told her its for washing your bottom, so this morning she goes to the toilet then washes her bottom!

One of the viewx from our kitchen window, ust for those who wondered why I love this place! Its Mount Snowdon in the distance!

Another angle and yet more beautiful scenery & mountains

Learnt something new, did you know there are 2 versions of welsh? Apparently there is North Welsh & South Welsh, according to Paul they are different, no reason to doubt him so it must be true.

Anyhow, good morning world, its beautiful here in Wales, lovely views over the mountains and Mount Snowdon is looking crystal clear, not that I will be going up there, still snow on top.

Hawl ei amser gwely, nos i gyd.

Both kids in bed, not settled yet but in bed! now enjoying a relaxing glass of grape juice (of the fermented variety) and relaxing a bit.

It says 'welcome to Wales'

iPhone OS 4 is on its way and apparently they are finally introducing multi tasking! one thing I wont be able 2 make fun nof iPhone users about then!

Thats me finished at the office, not back in there now until 22nd April, sounds so far off, so looking forward to the holiday.

wir yn edrych ymlaen at fynd i Gymru a gweld ein ffrindiau da Paul & Christine. Eu lle yn unig yw mor hardd a thawel.

day 1 of the election campaign, and to think I was bored of this election b4 the date was announced! Still can't get excited about it!!

OK so its official, the worst kept secret in the UK is finally confirmed, we will be voting for our new parliament on 6th May

Natalie enjoying her dinner @ Horse & Groom

Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here! He is risen from the dead. Luke 24:5-6

Had a good day @ Woburn Safari Park, now got Annual Passes to there so will be back soon, btw if you are 40 this year you can gain free entry on production of your driving licence or passport, its to celebrate their 40th Anniversary.

Had a good day, on the whole, even got an Easter Egg from my mother, so did Joy and the kids! mind you she bought them whilst out with us coz she hadn't realised it was Easter.

back to feeling tired! Off to see my mother this afternoon.

Good Friday, its not just about Hot Cross buns, it is about pain and suffering, Jesus dying that we can know him. http://bit.ly/aeuDe2

Went to bed before 9.30 last night, didn't stir until Steven had a fit @ 6.40, thats over 9.5 Hrs sleep, felt so much better for it too.
