Snails or 'nails

Rebecca has a fascination with snails at the moment - she is searching through the garden trying to find them. Then comes back with crushed snails all over her hands - then tries to eat them whilst we are trying to wash her hands. Nice. She cannot say 's' at the beginning of words yet (only at the end and then with a lisp) so hence she wants to find nails in the garden (which did confuse us a bit to start with).

We popped down to Eastbourne at the weekend - Dad was in fine spirits which was good - his beard has thinned out a lot (i guess due to the chemo) so he looked much thinner. Anyway, we left Rebecca's baby down there so grandma had to post it back yesterday - we also went to Tesco and bought another one - sarah said it was amusing today when the post was opened with her reaction to two babies!

Rebecca pegging it around the garden in Eastbourne:


My sister had a look at my achilles and i need to do daily exercises as all my muscles and things are very tight all the way up - and unlikely to be able to play until September (though I hope she is wrong and I can do some summer hockey).

Work has been busy - finally 'launched' Aquafilter yesterday - 18 months in development so that was good to finally get out there.

Problems include my mobile phone not charging properly which is a pain and then crashes this computer when it works - msn messenger keeps bombing in and out - i've done all sorts of things as suggested on the internet to rectify it but it won't have any of it and NTL seems to be a bit all over the place. Still not sure whether to get BT / Sky or stick with NTL when we move - a dilemma.

Connor had his birthday party at the sports club on Friday with a bouncy castle. Rebecca really enjoyed it - she even slept through until 8am next morning she was so tired. Connor really enjoyed it too - Martin and I celebrated by nipping down the Waggon until midnight. James did his longest sleep from 7pm through to 4.30am at the weekend - Sarah was very pleased with that. He is coming along really well, growing well and smilling a bit and looking round a bit more. He had some jabs today so wasn't feeling brilliant this evening.

I just popped in the other room whilst this was uploading and caught a bit of 'biggest spender's' more like biggest freaks.
