So it’s been a busy weekend in a way this weekend. First off it was Jackie’s birthday (Claire’s mum) Friday ~ Happy Birthday for then ~ and with the odd bit of shopping thrown in 
Friday night some of Calires family and I went for a meal at a place in Ravenshead called the Hutt. It used to be quite expensive but last time I went in the prices didn’t seem too bad for what you actually got, so Claire had sorted for some of us to go there to celebrate. Via a few strings pulled, we got a reserved table complete with Balloons (which kept Jamie her nephew busy for a few minutes) The only problem with sitting down for a meal at 8pm is when there is 10 of you (inc 2 kids) This means that when they are trying to dish everyones dinner up together the kids patience gets tested to the maximum. Shortly after 9 and the food came out and once again I was quietly impressed with what I got.
Did a bit of shopping to get stuff for the house (I’m becoming far too housey for my own good at the minute 
) on the saturday and what I thought would be a small total ended up to be about double what I thought. Sure someone was chucking things into my trolley when I had my back turned Hmmmmmm! 
Finally remembered to give my father his fathers day gift I brought him as we were away that weekend in Filey. I was so tempted to eat the fudge myself, but thought I showed great restraint in not doing so. I’m feeling quite out of shape at the minute, so once I can get through this month, its gonna be tmie to try and get the old Integra sorted and sold, mainly so I can afford to go to the bloody gym with John again
Yesterday was quite a hair-raising experience! Me and Maddsy went for a road trip in the “Van of Death” It has the turning circle and stopping ability of the QE2 and the acceleration of a Hippo knee-deep in water. It made it to 70 mph on the motorway, but would it fuck go any faster when you were on anything more of an incline of 2% uphill. Also the wheel bearings were shot in one wheel that meant when you tried to turn the wheel a fraction to the right you heard a sound you don’t really wanna hear when driving We still rocked the shit out of the van thanks to Radio 1 haha! Took roughly 1hr 45 mins to get there, 45 minutes to take down our marquees and 1hr 40 to get back (I drive faster than Maddsy hahahaha) Not too bad a trip out, altho there were loads of them little bastard bugs, as the marquee was erected next to a lake, and so you can imagine the trip home. One of us starts to scratch and that starts the other off. Then before you know it we’re both like a pair of dogs with fleas 
You all know the sort of bugs too. The ones that were attrached to our Yellow Ratchet Straps like a moth to a flame. You can’t go outside in White or Yellow for fear of being covered in the little blighters
