We have just celebrated our two year anniversary in this house in some respects it feels like we have been here forever and in other like we are still newcomers. It was only at the end of the summer that we finally unpacked all the boxes in the playroom-talk about procrastination!! This weekend we spent lots of time in the garden and ripped out the front lawn and replaced it with blue slate. Not only does it look a lot better but it also means one less place to mow! Not that there is much to mow in the back thanks to the dogs and the boys.
The last few weeks have passed in a bit of a blurr-there is so much going on at the moment, not all of it bloggable. We have kept occupied with all of our usual pursuits-home ed group, normals, field trips, dog walks and mystery shopping. Sam and I have spent a lot of time mystery shopping the last two weeks-I had nine jobs that involved sitting in pretty shiny bmws and lexus but sadly did not get to buy one. Sam and I both agreed that we prefered the lexus-lots more comfy inside and lots more gadgets.
We have also been glued to bbc iplayer watching Dr. Who. Come saturday at about 7:20 we are all snuggled on the sofa eagerly awaiting it to be uploaded. The new season is good but the last episode left us all wondering where captain jack and torchwood were and why didn't they ride in to the rescue. We are all warming to Donna, she is bossy and motherly but still not Rose. Just hope this season is not the last for David Tennant-he will forever be known as the Dr. no matter what he does so he might as well carry on and make gobs of money.
Sam and I are very excited as we have just booked tickets to see Eoin Colfer in Nottingham in August. He is the author of the Artemis Fowl series that we both love. We have listened and relistened to each book and are interested to see if Eoin is as entertaining in person as he is in print. Matt enjoys the books as well but hasn't had the chance to listen as much as we have. ( Racked up lots of miles doing the bmw and lexus jobs) It is nice to see sam so excited about an author and reading.

We're not convinced about Donna. She doesn't seem to "fit", but I don't tend to be looking at her anyway!!
I'm really jealous about the Lexus posing job! The consultant I work with has just brought one, if only he could drive safely enough for anyone to dare ride with him!!
When I win the lottery....
See you soon.
