If you’ve got young children, as we have, I would like to give you a word of warning.

When it comes to Christmas time and you are buying a present for your wife, don’t let the kids see….

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been looking at the WP plugin NextGEN Gallery, to power my photo gallery.

I’ve been very impressed with the initial setup, which was helped by reading some simple instructions that I found at David Potter’s website.

All photos will be available at the following page: Photos.

Over the coming days (or weeks, depending on time) I will be adding and updating the photos to the albums.

It’s taken me a while to get round to writing about our trip to see the MPH Car Show and Top Gear Live show at the NEC in Birmingham.

We made the trip for Gemma’s brother Shaun’s 21st birthday, and we all had a great time, with the highlight being the “Top Gear Live” show.

As the title suggests, my Brother-in-Law, Ricky is not well.

On Saturday, he was taken to hospital after playing football, where it was revealed that he has a double fracture of his tibia and fibula. The injury was caused by a vicious two-footed tackle in an Under-16 football match.

We went to see him yesterday in the hospital, where he was in good spirits, despite his leg being encased in plaster along its entire length. The hospital have now let him home for a couple of nights until they can do an operation.

Initally, he was due to have an operation yesterday morning to set the fracture, but due to emergencies this has been put back until Tuesday. So, fingers crossed that it goes ahead.

It is going to be a long recovery, he’ll be in a full length plaster cast for about 5 weeks and then it will be a another 5 weeks in a cast up to his knee. Sad news is that he won’t be playing football until at least September 2009!

Hope it all goes well for you Rick.

Cars in the Snow

…causes so much chaos!

This morning was the journey from hell to work. Not that I got there!

It all started when we were woken at around 5am by Liam who was asking for a feed. As I got up to see to him, I had a quick look out of the window to see how bad the overnight frost had been. It didn’t seem too bad. I went into Liam’s room and changed his nappy, while Gemma went downstairs to prepare his bottle. Continue reading 'A Little Bit of Snow…'»
