Great start to the New Year, little Will has Chicken Pox, I blame cousin Ted ;-), He does not seem to bothered by it at the moment , so hopefully it will stay that way. It might explain why he has been such a pain in the arse about going to bed the last few days, he has been ok so far tonight though, yay for Calpol.

Went to see West Brom Vs Villa today, used my Father -in-Laws season ticket, because he could not make it. West Brom lost 1-2 and played poorly, I have come to the conclusion I am a jinx at football games, I can't remember the last game I saw when the team I was there to see won.

Ooh I nearly forgot, for Xmas some friends, The Prof & Tree, bought me a huge part popper thing, when I say huge I mean about 1 metre in hight and the diameter of the inside of a loo roll, I let it off in the front garden, not expecting it to be much cop, however it fired what looked like 1/2 a ton of coloured tissue paper squares about 10 metres in the air. The resulting fallout out covered mine and two neighbours front gardens. Cue me borrowing a garden vac and spending 1/2 an hour cleaning up, mind you 15 minutes of that was due to me discovering the garden van had a blow setting and me using to keep a plastic football airbourne.
