If I won the Lottery…

I was thinking the other night, and came up with all these ideas. I'd pay off Jane's part of the mortgage, and everyone else's, for that matter (if I won enough), I'd pay off Mum's mortgage and give her some money to do the house up, buy a modest little place for David, Katie and Jasmine so they wouldn't have…

Marshmallows

We had a BBQ on Saturday, and after all the meaty food was consumed, we went back out to the gently smouldering barbecue and roasted some Marshmallows in the darkness. Claire had to show me what to do, as it was the first time I had ever tried roasting marshmallows. They were quite tasty! The alcohol I had consumed earlier…

Quiet week

Last week was... quiet, not a lot happened. I found out Barclays closed my bank account because it was inactive, and wanted me to spend £80 on a passport to re-open it. Rubbish. Jane was off for a few days last week, her appendix was grumbling, giving her jip. Poor girl. Next week will be quiet in a different kind…
But Daddy I wanted to eat the lemon

But Daddy I wanted to eat the lemon

Went to see Jasmine (and Mum, David and Katie as well) yesterday, got to give her her belated birthday presents. We got her this turtle thing that plays little tunes while roaming around launching little plastic balls out of it's back that'll encourage her to crawl after it. Well, we put some batteries in it and as soon as it…
I love the Eighties

I love the Eighties

Lips: I Love the 80's is absolutely amazing, I have to mention this. Jane has always loved 80's music and picked it up in Asda earlier in the week. An inspired decision, I must admit. I was surprised how many songs I knew - or at least thought I knew! It seems I mostly only know the catchy chorus bits,…

I’m turning into a casual gamer?

Last night I played Just Dance on a Nintendo Wii and surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. The night before I played Lips on the 360 (I knew I would enjoy that though, it's great fun). And although I was initially not too fond of the idea of Kinect, I'm coming around to it now, as we have two genuine children…

Dead bunnies and easy games

One of Claire’s rabbits died earlier in the week. They had been smelly for the past few weeks now, and when she finally got around to cleaning the hutch out, the poor thing had a huge abscess full of maggots. It was really quite something to behold. She rushed off to the vets with it, only to be told it had to be put down as they had eaten all the way through the rabbit’s abdomen and up to it’s lungs and was pretty much gonna die anyway, whatever they did. So that was exciting.

I sold some stuff on the eBay earlier in the week, so had a bit of cash to spare which I used to get some Microsoft Points. I had it in my head to get 5 Arcade games that were 400 points each, and a new song for Lips. Here’s what I ended up with and what I thought of them:

Quiet week

It's been quite quiet, not only on here (which makes a change - I usually find something to write about) but also life in general. As such, I've not really got much to say. Still no luck on the job front, I've had a few interviews recently, and a few good looking prospects, but still no job to show for…

Lips

Yes, we finally got around to it. After years of deliberating about which singing game to get, Jane and Claire went halves on Lips: Number One Hits with two microphones. We had a quick dabble last night and it was ok, but when we properly set it up with my Gamer Profile earlier today (it was a sneaky way to…
