A Different Take
Randomly looking on YouTube for one of my dad's favourite tunes... and found a really good modern day version of it! You may disagree on the original and the new (David "Nostaligia Mood" Callaghan) :)
Oliver - Good Morning Starshine
Serena Ryder
Also listened to a few other of Serena's tunes and they are quite good!

Kung Fu Master
Saw this link on Chris Riley's blog and thought I would take the "test"...
Here is how many 5 years olds I could take in a "fight"... not that I ever would or would want to mind you!

Jane Austin
I am by no means a GEEK! but there are one or two gadgets I have always wanted... and one of them is a SATNAV.
We have a few trips away planned this year so thought it might be best to get something to assist us to arrive in once piece ;). Actually, if I were to be completely honest, I would have to admit a recent journey (last week) which should have been 45 minutes, but actually turned out to be 1.5 hours - which was the deciding factor :)
So today myself, Julie and Luke went to collect our newest member of the family "Jane Austin"!
She is perfect...
1. She never answers me back
2. She responds to the slightest touch ;)
3. She lets me know when a speed camera is on the horizon
4. And surprisingly she is good at giving directions :) .. I see this as a device to reduce TENSION on outings and trips :)
My two favourite voices for here are "Jane" and "Austin Powers", hence from this day forth she is Jane Austin :)
This is the model we all opted for
It is FANTASTIC...
1.On her first outing she has found us a Speed Camera we didn't know about and a local short cut!
2. Easy to use - even for a dummy like me
3. Clear screen - we opted for the larger screen for my dodgy eyesight (at least that's what I told Julie)
4. Route planning is as easy as piss
5. Points of Interest and SPEED Cameras!!!
Would highly recommend one to anyone.

A Child Obsessed
Luke has for the last 6 months been very very into Doctor Who. He is especially fascinated with The Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in Space :)) - I could recite this well before all the current new Who fans jumped on the band wagon ;).
His favourite clothing at the moment is anything with a Tardis on it... especailly his favourite T-Shirt he got as a gift for Crimbo.
It is now a very risky state of affairs allowing him to wear this kinda clothing because he obsesses about them. He won't take them off, he wants to go to bed wearing them and he wont let Julie wash them. A few weeks ago Julie put his T-Shirt in the washing basket and we went to bed. We awoke the next morning, to Luke sat at the side of us attempting to put his T-Shirt on - after fishing through the washing basket for them - and without waking us in the process!
We have resorted to hiding them at bedtime and tricking him.
The final straw...
I was shopping around Next Friday evening and spotted some underwear with a Tardis on. So thought its a nice practical gift that Luke would like, and its a bit of a reward for him... MISTAKE NUMBER 1
We let him wear his undies on Saturday and he was good that day. He went to bed without any protesting... which in this instance is good.
We were awoken at 3:00AM this morning (note THREE AM) to Luke looking around our bedrooom with his TORCH shining it around ... "Were my Arids Pants Daddy... wah wah wah". WE calmed him down and he came to bed with us.
I decided to interogate the little blighter this morning as I found the conservatory door open this morning, and i was the last to bed and remembered closing it!!!
Luke admitted wandering around the house with his torch at 3 in the morning... we had recently removed the restraining gates as we felt we could trust him... MISTAKE NUMBER 2.
