    How are you doing sarah? You havent updated for a while :confused:
    :hello: Hiya Pap!
    Haven't updated in a while as haven't had too much exciting to say really.... got the money through for the shares, but its £30 less than it initially said :( although the disclaimer thingy said the value could go down before they were sold..... never mind, still got £163.31 :) Obviously that will pay for most of the Wii/Wii fit, but I'll still need to put some in.

    Soon to be out-of-action Sky card has taken a bit of a battering.... Dan had to have a tooth taken out on Thursday, and as he has run out of money already, I paid..... £85:eek: but I will be getting that back on pay day. Plus we bought Mario Kart for the Wii.... well I bought it from Connor for Dan for Father's Day.... Haven't played it myself yet, but Dan says its good, so I'll give that a go when I get time.... haven't Wii Fit'ed for a while either, need to sort out some kind of rountine in my life!!!
    Gonna try my hand at a bit of stoozing..... got two 0% purcahses cards, one for Sainsburys spending (terms of card) and one for non-Sainsburys spending, so we shall see how that goes..... have got a spreadsheet to keep it all under control, so we'll see how that goes!

    Big news on the baby front..... he has started walking!!!:T :eek: Just decided on Friday that he was going to.... crawled into the kitchen, and to our amazement came walking back out! We did get some video footage, just trying to upload it now :)

    EDIT: Can't get YouTube to upload it, so will try again in a bit..... it's funny tho!
