sunday 15th April cont.

Hi,

Well I know I've already posted on here today but I've just had a chat with my eldest son Adam.  He made me laugh properly moaning about his disaster of a fry-up this morning.  He was NOT laughing I should add...he said he burnt the sausages, and because his non-stick frying pan is not non-stick anymore he melted butter for the mushrooms, added the mushrooms and the instantly stuck to the pan.  Then he had a proper rant about the tesco bacon he got delivered being so thin and rubbish that he could not get the slices out - so he screwed it all up in his hand and threw it in the frying pan! hahah...he also burnt the eggs.  Sounds an amazing breakfast eh!

He then spent quite a while telling me about the recipes he's been trying and the things he has been (successfully) cooking, and I thought - wow I'm getting old.  My kids are sharing recipes and all domesticated!! 

So I then called Connor who I haven't really spoken to since Christmas...I started the call saying Nothing Owned! which is what he used to do to me all the time - I refrained from saying it and then putting the phone down hahaha!

Anyway - he is doing well, but is hating his job, which was only something he got quickly to start getting some money in when he moved to Southampton (in a warehouse).  He is struggling because he doesn't know what to do with his life.  He is a chef by trade but hates the unsocial hours.  He lives with Emily who is doing a Master Degree (and she hasn't started her dissertation yet! that stresses me out! lol).  When she finishes in August they are looking to move again - either to Cardiff where her parents live or Bristol - that'll be good because they'll be closer to us.  I miss Connor loads - I see him the least because he doesn't drive and is always skint.

So then me and Lissa had a chat...about the blog as she has started on (lilbeetroot.blogspot) I guess she has picked that name because she is so little and as soon as the sun comes out she looks like a beetroot lol.  I kept trying to tell her stuff and she was like...yeah I read that on your blog lol.

Then...Adam called back as he wanted to tell me that Spyro and Crash bandicoot is out on the playstation - and I used to play that loads! He might be coming over next Monday/Tuesday with Erika so that'll be cool.

So all I have done all day is talk to the kids and write this blog! Its now 3.30pm - I am feeling very lazy!  Andy is down in his studio, doing his music stuff so he's happy! Andy and Paul used to be in a band and do all sorts of music stuff together and that stopped for years because Helen and Paul moved to Devon and we were in Surrey - but now we are closer they have started it again.  Great to hear them back together again. 

I'd better stop writing because I could go on forever....
