Today’s mothers day and I must say a pleasant one it has been despite Dan’s best efforts :-P

The day started out well with us both being woken by the sound of the telephone to hear Dave telling me not to forget the clocks went forward a hour overnight, so our nice and early 9am alarm turned into a oh dear were going to be late call! Get to Totton, and ah – Dad and Angie out shopping but they arrived soon enough for Nicky to gets her TENS machines, so that’ll help ease the pain which is good for her and me! A very nice meal at the Coach and Horses was tailed off by a nice relax and unwind in the spa-pool at mum’s before facing the grid-locked M3 which seemed to be going at about 25 MPH for no reason – Nicky got some sleep out of it though (hard life for some :-P ).

Yesterday was a good day for us – Me especially: We arranged out joint accounts and I got my manbag, a pair of DC’s and a hat for holiday. Also got a couple of T-Shirts in some sales too, so I was a very happy man that day despite having to carry all the bags plus the other stuff we’d bought :-P

Friday night was a taste of what to come with it being Mick’s Birthday, the 3 1/2 of us went to a delicious restaurant in Basingstoke called La Tasca – Blog readers will remember that one from our 6 month anniversary dinner. We shared some tapas, drank some red wine, I uttered the words “I like this salad” and I also tried a couple of new fishes to Nicky’s amazement. Mick can be found at home playing with his nice new HP printer for the next week or two if anyone gets concerned enough to report him as a missing person :-)

However: Besides the weekend, nothing much to report – No fancy scans or appointments this week, however the purchase of the baby carrier did bring hours or fun to myself while trying to work out how to use it and how to strap it all on – I even tried to test-drive it on the cat, but Nicky didn’t rate that idea too highly.

Routine check-up with the GP tomorrow, and Nicky’s car MOT.

Until next time x x
