Happy New Year!

Gees what a busy day, it was an early start for the little people and us which we are not used to as they having been getting up late recently but it was the usual 6.30am this morning, must be the start of a new year. After breakfast we sang 'Old Langs Eye' as we were asleep at midnight, although it was mainly Tim and I going la la la as we had forgotten most of the words along with the children laughing.

We started on the Christmas decs and got those down and packed away. I then cleaned the house whilst Daisy laid in my bed watching tv and Daddy and Sam hit the park. We then picked Nanny Maureen up from work at lunch time, came home had lunch and then we popped to the shops as she wanted to get the little people a bean bag each, hopefully to encourage Sam to sit further from the tv screen and not the usual 5cms and its worked - well done Nanny! Although I told him that Nanny had got him a present and when he saw the bean bag he was all excited grabbed it and said 'Open, open' thinking there was a present inside, took a while to sink in what it actually was!

Nanny then kept the little people entertained downstairs whilst Tim and I insulated our loft... part of our new year plan to increase the energy effiency of our house. Once the leak on the kitchen window is fixed, the cavaity wall insulation will be going in (not by us though).

Tim then cooked us all dinner... little bit worried DIY and cooking by Tim all in one day... long may it carry on!

Well done to cousin cala who wins the award for 'Party animal of 2009' she didnt stop celebrating New Year untill 1.30... thats this afternoon not this morning.
