Family Day

We had a lovely day today. We went over to my parents (my brother and his family were also visiting) and took my mum to lunch in celebration of her birthday yesterday. We are not a family that eats out a lot so it was a real treat and the food was delicious. Much to my surprise the place was packed out, I really thought that we might be the only ones there because of these recessionary times but, no, it appears there is still some money sloshing around in Hampshire after all.

After lunch we went back to my parents' place, which is within walking distance, and watched a film with the kids.

My dad is selling off some of his old tools from his shed so myself and my borther are going to try and sell them for him on Ebay.

Coincidentally both myself and my brother's wife had made a cake for tea so of course most of us sampled both :-).

Oh and a funny thing happened involving Peter and a sock but I'll let him blog about that.

Then it was home to flop in front of Dancing on Ice (not so much fun now that Todd has been voted out) and I had hoped to watch 'Being Human' but my eyes just wouldn't stay open for that long and Monday morning's alarm went off way too soon.........
