TVs Plugs,toilets, greenhouses and valantines

It arrived at long last my 50inch Pioneer plasma what a picture we have watched several blue rays on it itis the best picture money can buy unbelievable picture in picture function is a nice touch, even kate is getting tolike it, finally got the greenhouse finished only for it to blow away so had to start again at last got it tied down and sleeprs in on bricks to make some staging, planted more seeds and my garlic is coming through. nearly finished the chicken area just needs a gate,

Hall stairs and landing are finished carpeted painted and toileted although not without their issues but all looks well next stage is getting a skip for next week and clearing out the kitchen ready for the electrician.

Valantines day was really nice i got kate a gorgeous bunch of flowers and she took me out for a meal to a lovely restaurant called the priory in Louth where they serve lots of small courses of unusual food

Kate was then away for the week in Italy, we took her to Birmingham airport what a drive that was on a monday morning, we came back and were all knackered picking her up on thursday night , Luke went for his eye test on tues and his eyes are as good as they were so he doesnt need to do his patches anymore, just needs another eyetest. the boys have been out playing mostly and went to the bus on tuesday night which was the last one until the summer. We went up to see mum and dad on wed they are ok but still not well on the family front Jim booked a date for the lakes weekend 27th of June and may get tickets to see united vs the boro , speaking of which we won 3 0 vs fulham tonight which puts us 5 points clear of Liverpool. Luke trained over at scunthorpe on Monday night for the first time see how he gets on.
weather warming up and bulbs are coming through getting into the nice time of the year now

Its Feb Already

the weeks are moving fast we are in the middle of a major refurb on our home I have painted and decorated nearly all the rooms in our house as a surprise I decorated our dining room whilst Kate was away in America, our front doors look stunning, we are in the middle of getting our hall stairs and landing carpeted and a new toilet and hand basin put in what a job that was got the bits from bathstore and they sent the wrong sink drain away so I had to go to the store to pick up a replacement, then the plumber couldn't get a seal on the toilet so I then had to take that back and get a replacement two half an hour trips was what I didn't need today as I was painting the study but ran out of paint and they seem to have discontinued it deep joy.

In the middle of building a greenhouse as well in between all the snow, will get that finished this week and start to move my seedlings into it, also nearly finished the area for the chickens we are going to get but the weather has been that bad its been hard to get in the garden. Kate away tonight but back tomorrow.

Luke doing well in his school his grades are on track and is surpassing some all his teachers are pleased with him even if he is a little chatty.

Discoveries are into the next round of the County cup the semis and are doing OK in both leagues . got Luke enrolled in some coaching over in scunthorpe united to see what its like. Joe and I will be going back to Aikido this week totally missed all of January due to various reasons. Mums 70th birthday this month going up to see her and out for a meal with everyone and Kate and I are going out for valentines evening not sure where yet though.
