First meal in the United States - Bleedin McDonalds!!! Although I have to say, the Ranch Burger is amazing!

Getting ready for the Californian sun!

Were off on holiday!

Cough cough...

Yet again, Paula and Janet grafting at The Ironing Shop.

My mate Stu and his SAAB convertible.

Nandos is my absolute fav place to eat in Manchester! We got a take out the other day and it was soooo wonderful!

Told you I had another plate to show you !

McDonalds in the park for tea, then we can collect mum from work!

Me arsing about with the timer on my camera phone.

2299 CR - What a great number plate on a great car! I've seen quite a few nice plates recently....

Paula surveys all that will soon be our in the new house.

My mate Lee @ his costume shop in Manchester.

In my house, we do story time differently. Firstly I make a story up, which always contains Ryan, Sam and Joe (and paula / me most of the time) - then afterwards, they get to make one up and tell it. I dont know if its good for them in any way, but it sure is fun and the results can make you feel so happy as they say the most wonderful things! If you'd like to see a very cute snip of sam midway through telling me his bedtime story, then click here. (Requires quicktime)

Edit: Oh and seeing as I'm posting video - you may as well have a laugh at these two - they crack me up each time I see them - joe is such a spaz at times!

The sky was amazing tonight - even joseph commented on how pretty it looked.

Wide shot of the living room...

We fired the BBq up again this evening and ate like kings and Queens... Several hours later, and I'm still stuffed !

Went to visit Pat Wynn today - not seen him for a while.

I want these guys to come and paint 'The Ironing Shop' shutters... I think they are so talented.

Found out today that the number plate I have on my car is in fact illegal. The transfer never took place as the retention document had expired when I got it from my old man... tut tut - never expired while I was looking after it :) hehe - Quick trip to the DVLA and �25 later its should all be sorted. (Touch wood!)
