First firepit use of the year

 It was bloody cold, but was good fun burning a little wood and listening to music










Animals love hotdogs

 I bought a big jar of hotdogs last week and they're too old for me to eat so gave the rest to the animals.  The kids enjoyed theirs at the weekend and the enjoyed theirs too.  Arwen ate 3 in about 30 seconds.  Josie took a little longer.





I really need help

 More dice arrived this morning.  It was my treat for getting a bonus this year.  There was no actual bonus left for me after putting half straight in my pension and the other half paying off a little debt, but I felt I deserved a little something so bought myself another couple of sets of dice.


Yooperlite dice, they glow under UV light.

Unfortunatley the d4 has a little chip so need to send it back



Obsidian are lovely

First fire


First outdoor fire of the year! It's stopped raining for a little while and the wind has died down so thought I'd give it a go.

E number goodness

 April was late home from work last night so I fed the kids some Uncle Ben's sweet and sour chicken.  They loved that sugary goodness!





The hunt

 I've bought nearly a kilo of mini eggs for Sunday's easter egg hunt.  My plan is to hide each of the plastic eggs around the fancy house we're staying at over the easter holidays.  In each of the plastic eggs i'm going to write a number between 1-5.  They can then exchange the note for the same amount of mini eggs at my mini egg bank.

Small bit of shopping

 I asked for some helpers to do a little bit of shopping before yesterday's Sunday roast.  The usual tax of chocolate was charged!




Bought some hotdogs in a jar last week

 I'm starting to get why April doesn't like them...




Spring's certainly here

 According to the garden anyway.  The temperature outside doesn't feel that way!








Cooked for 10 yesterday

 We're away next weekend with a couple of families from Flo's class.  I practiced cooking a roast lamb for some Tonbridge friends this weekend as i've promised to do the same on holiday.  It turned out okay, but won't be doing the potatoes again.
