    Never mind the new car its SJ's birthday today...! Had a nice morning opening presents off the kids and wife and i was even afforded the joy of having the big TV to myself!

    Got to go to work for a few hours at 11, and then take DS2 to his swimming lesson before home for cake and candles. Then tonight Mrs SJ and myself will be going out for copious amounts of beer, some very unhealthy food, then home for 11 to let grandma go home and no doubt more beer whilst listening to music! Not managed a night out together for a while, and in fact the last time we did it baby SJ had a few vomiting episodes and we had to come home. Next morning she was full of chicken pox!

    I TT'd 90p earlier and then transferred £100 from MB account to pay for tonight's outing, which i think is a perfect use of this money (only going local for ease of return home so not having to pay city centre prices).

    In ebay news 5 of the 99 listed items have got bids on them. Only small amounts but its more cash towards DS2's birthday and more stuff out of the house.
