...Daddy,daddy cool.......

This morning I rose from my slumber, drank a coffee and smoked a cigarette. I showered, dressed and then left the house. A McD breakfast bagel, another coffee, a visit to the tackle shop, shooting the breeze. On to the fishing hut, banter, coffee and cigs and then back home for a spot of lunch.

While I was having this frenetic morning the Boss, Young Helen, The Daughter, the Son and Heir and our friend Therese were at a sale organised by the NCT. Planned like an assault on a beach head they went into action, each armed witha specific item needed for the impending addition to the family.

They returned clutching their prizes, a baby carrier(£12), a travel cot(£8), a mobile(£4), a playmat(£3), two baby baths(£5 & £2) and a nappy bin(£4).....a grand total of £37.

This is the S & H modelling the baby carrier...looks like a natural doesn't he?

Before going to watch the S & H lose at hockey again I decided to do my bit so I ordered them a baby alarm, best bargain of the day.....£0, nil, nada, not a sausage, bugger all.....thanks to my member's points from a well known TV and Internet ratings company.

The only problem is, seemingly agreed by the Boss, one of the baby baths and the travel cot are staying here at our house....."Just in case"... like the buggy I blipped a few days ago.

On the sporting front although the S & H got beaten, Italy beat France in the Rugby, Wales beat Ireland (so if England win tomorrow they win the tournament) and best of all .......United knocked ARSEnal out of the FA Cup.

Now if I can just repeat last week's form and pick up the £20 prize for the fishing match tomorrow.........or better still tonight's Lottery........then it'll have been a good weekend all round.

Das vidanya moy padruga.
