Swanage Day 2

No real rush to get up today. We went to mum's caravan at 10:30 for breakfast. Mum made a lovely fry up. Toni, mum and I drove to into town to do some shopping and the kids went swimming.

Following shopping and swimming we had a light lunch before heading off for a walk around a bit of Swanage. We stopped off for a cup of tea before going to the beach via the ice cream shop!

Swanage Day 1

Toni, Gemima, Aaron, Shane and I left early (well 09:30 anyway) as it was nearly a 4 hour drive that awaited us to Swanage. Deviated to SWF Post Office to pick up parcel and then we were on our way. Journey started off pretty well until the traffic conspired against us and we got stuck in some awful tailbacks. We stopped off at some services to recharge briefly before heading off again. We had expected to arrive in Swanage at 13:30 but actually got there at 17:00 so it was 7.5 hours instead of 4! Luckily mum reminded me of the Sandbank Ferry so I managed to change our route and take that which saved us another hour of driving.

When we arrived we had a much needed cup of tea before we went and sorted out caravan out. Sophie, Sam, Aaron and Gemima went to go swimming but unfortunately the site pool closes early on a Saturday and Sunday so they came back almost straight away.

We got ourselves straightened out and then took a walk down to the site restaurant where we had a really nice meal before heading back to mum's caravan to play cards. After a few rounds of Chase The Ace Toni, Aaron, Gemima and I went back to our caravan. Sam decided he wanted to sleep in ours so he came too leaving mum, Sophie and Shane in the other caravan.

And YES I do know its very sad to be on holiday and still blogging LMFAO!

Last day of work!

YAY!
Last day of work before my holiday!
Toni is coming over with Aaron and Gemima tonight and Shane is staying over too. Then early tomorrow morning we are all driving down to Swanage to meet my mum, Sophie and Sam for a week in a caravan!

Taking it easy and preparations

Well after a mad week at work things have finally settled down a bit and so tonight was spent taking it easy. Got in and did some chores, had dinner and chilled in front of the TV. I did get some of my stuff for holiday prepared though so I'll have less to do tomorrow (not that there was a lot to prepare mind LOL)

Was weird again clattering around the house on my own even though I did get a chance to wind down a bit.

I've been spoiled

It's been really nice the past couple of days waking up in the morning with Toni there and getting up together without her having to race off at stupid o'clock. Although I hate the thought of being "normal" I have to admit I do like the "normality" that I feel sometimes in these situations LOL.

Light snack

When we got back from North London Toni and I popped to Asda and got a few bits and just had a light snack for dinner before showering and bed.

Quick tour of North London

Met Toni at North Greenwich after work today as she had agreed to take me through to North London to pick up my Gallien-Krueger bass amp.

I was in charge of directions and actually managed to get us there and back without much hassle (which was a relief for)

Delighted to have my amp now and so I feel more ready to take on my role as bass player in Hollywood Doll.

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday Dad,

Hope you have a great day.

Love Keith, Sam & Sophie

A most agreeable evening

It was S4B's birthday today so Toni bailed out and came to stay with me for the night. went to Asda when she arrived then we were really indulgent and had chips and dips followed by steak and chips for dinner. We then chilled out in front of the TV for a while before crashing out.

Mad day at work and quiet house

Today was really busy at work with things going critical once again so it was a relief to get home. Only problem with coming home was that it was empty. The novelty wore off really quickly and with Toni around and Sophie and Sam on holiday I was just rattling around trying to occupy my time. Hollyoaks, EastendersPC, Big Brother, PC games and WWE wrestling are all very well but no substitute for human company.

Lots of texts between Toni and I before we started talking on MSN. She commented that she can't wait for the say when we don't have to talk to each other through a computer, hopefully it won't be too long!

Coffee and parting

It was another of those mornings where Toni and I got up together, had coffee and then parted for out respective works. Didn't feel weird this time, it was nice.

Party fallout!

Not exactly a taxing day today!
Toni and I popped out early-ish to get some milk as we had run out and we sort of tidied up about as people slowly drifted into the land of the living (and a guilty party were outed!)

Once every one was up we all shot off to a cafe for a gorgeous big breakfast. After that we parted company and gave Karen's brother Chris a lift back to Romford. We popped in to see his flat and had a gorgeous coffee before heading back to SWF.

When we got home Toni went and had a bath and I just crashed out. We slept for absolutely ages, got up for a short while before crashing out all over again!

Karen's Cocktail Party

Got the train back to Eltham and then we drove to Erith for Karen's Cocktail Party. Had to meet Karen at GB Tattoos to get her house keys as her friend Karen 2 was getting inked. Toni took the opportinity to book herself in for her first tattoo while she was there.

We then popped to Morrisons to pick up some booze for the party and decided to have something to eat there as well. Drove back to Karen's and met Karen, Karen 2 and Anna.

We sat in the kitchen talking and joking and ordered some Chinese food before Karen decided we should sample the shots that she had bought. We ended up having five each at 17:00! We popped upstairs to get dressed (and stuff *whistles*) and then had our Chinese food.

Rest of the night was a bit of a blur although I know there was lots of sex on the beach and various other cocktails! Some very amusing moments when Toni and Karen started spanking each other and then had a tickling fight on the sofa (although from the photos below it looks a bit more suspect than that!)

Toni getting ready (I've always wanted to try and get a photo liek this):


Your truly looking almost normal for a night out:


Toni looking fab (and studying cocktails):

What on earth are they doing (LMFAO):

Ann Summers

After waving the kids off Toni and I popped into Ann Summers for a fun browse. There were some lovely things in there that we have our eye on for after pay day but Toni couldn't resist a lovely corset top that she ended up getting really cheap.

Sophie and Sam off on their holiday

Early start today as we had to get Sophie and Sam to Victoria Coach Station by 11:45.

This is them just before we left:


We drove to Eltham and popped into Toni's mums, waking Jade up in the process!

Drove to Eltham station and then hopped on a train to Victoria. As we had woken early and not had breakfast we went into Garfunkel's for breakfast. Toni and I both had Full English, I let Toni have my tomato and re-arranged her plate in a very childish manner:


Following breakfast we walked round to Victoria Coach Station to meet mum. Had a chat before the coach was due to leave and then we waved them off.

A slow Friday night

After a hectic day at work I got home and waited for Toni to arrive.
We then took Sophie to George to try and get her a swimming costume, after some gnashing of teeth we did finally succeed and Toni and I bought some fab coloured tights.

Next stop was Asda and we bought pork chops for dinner as we hadn't had them for a while.

Dinner, Eastenders and Big Brother rounded the day off before we all had an early night as Sophie & Sam were off on holiday with my mum tomorrow.

Smart as new paint in their gay new packet!!!

They don't make them like this anymore!

Madness at work

My word, it's total madness at work.
Not only are we working to a totally unrealistic deadline but we also have a completely mental curveball lurking under the covers that is proving to be more hassle than it's worth.
Every day gets busier and more stressful...........hope we can somehow pull out all the stops and get it done.

Gemima is out of hospital

Great news!
Gemima was given the all clear today and has now been discharged and is back home. Seemed to take forever so I am relieved that she is now much better
