Ahh - found it !

I took this photo to compare it with one I took a few years ago - to see how much the kids had grown. Now all I have to do is dig out the other photo.... :S

We went on the ride on train at the garden center - it was soo much fun !

Train photo 2

We ended up at Brookside garden center today with the kids. We ate in a small ye-olde, tatty little place, which seemed to charge ridiculous prices for very basic food. Wont be going there again. (Edit: The deserts looked yummy, so maybee we will try it again!)

Batteries are charged and photos are being taken. About time I started to improve my photography again. I go though spells where I just dont have the time. I'm goign to try and make time from now on!

Managed to find some sample images taken using the K750i - Its really quite impressive for a mobile phone camera.

Think I'm going to get a new camera phone. The Nokia I'm using is an absolute superb phone, but I cant help but wish the images were a little clearer. The 2mp sensor in the k750i should make everything much better.

Seeing as all the batteries are down on my Canon 10D, I figured today was as good a time as any to get them all done. Actually only takes a short while to charge each battery, so I dont know why I'm making such a big deal about it.

Looking at Plasma TV's in the region of £1500 - Its a nightmare !
Might have to go with the 42" Panasonic.... PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE !

Insurance papers have arrived to confirm that we have £1375 to spend on a new tv. Now we have to decide if we want to spend a little more to upgrade to something better, or simply replace the tv with the same we had. I think we might have to upgrade as its too good an opportunity to miss out on.

Kids have broken up for the summer holidays - They barged into our bedroom team handed this morning to wake us up - 8.30am on our day off :) Swines...

Took the boys for a look around there new house tonight. They loved it !

Ryans Mr Grasshead is really starting to grow. I wish I could grow hair at such a rate....

Traffic was terrible today - somebody got knocked down at the didsbury road junction and they shut the road down. Not sure how badly hurt the person(s) were, but it must have been bad.

Bricky is flying on with the wall at our new house - but I fear I may have to knock it down when we move in as its such a sloppy job. Who knows - Maybee it'll be fine when its done. If I owned it already, he'd be getting told !

I love this house as it smiles as you drive by... Can you see it?

Got this feeling that the kids are trying to tell us something...
