1st blog!

Well here goes, first blog I have written, and was inspired to do so by reading a blog by an old school friend, so thanks Jayne!!  Well Christmas day went well the boys didn't kill each other and I cooked for 10. The other half successfully completed a nightshift so I thought it best to get the boys out of the way before they create as much noise as jumbo jet passing 10 feet above the house. So me, 3 boys and eldest dog embarked on a walk in the cold, eldest dog loved it, boys hated it, I just thought about that extra piece of Christmas cake I ate and hoped the walk would burn some calories. Doubt I even managed to burn enough calories to shift the sprouts I ate. After staying away for a long long as possible we returned home, to find that step daughter had gone out and left baby dog to roam around the house. You can only imagine the presents left for me. The boys decided to do a Christmas jigsaw, of course it was far too difficult for them even though the box said it was for their age range, so war began because team work is a dirtry phrase in this house. We are off to the parents of the other half for boxing day tea, I wonder if the boys will be nice?  Thank the Lord for beer, the kids may just see Easter....
