Take That.....Again!

So we went to see Take That last Monday (26th) for the second time since they got back together. Needless to say Jen was ubelievably excited about it, and was nearly uncontrollable by the time we arrived at the Arena.
Our seats were a lot better this time - approx 15 rows from the main stage and 10 rows from the centre stage. This was without doubt the closest I've been to the performers at a concert and it does make a bid difference like. (I've only ever been to Arena and Stadium gigs though).
They did all the well known 'back in the day' songs plus quite a few from their most recent album. The stage show itself was something else, - you couldn't fail to be impressed.

We were also on the end of a row so when they walked back through the crowd from the centre stage to the front - Jen was in grabbing distance...which she obviously did as you can just about make out from their reactions in the video below..!

Also got a couple of other quite good videos; Patience and Only Takes A Minute.....And needless to say there's also a shed load of photos Here.

See previous post title!

Yep Jen thrives on a bit Baby Competition!! This time it's the Evening Chronicle Baby Idol 2007 contest.
To be fair, at least I knew this one was on the cards, given that I went with Jen and Abbie on the day of the shoot. We went on the last day as we'd heard it had been like a cattle market all week with excited mothers determined to get the bairn in the paper dressed in his/her best clobber!
The photographer asked me to sit Abigail on a table and support her back. Given this was about 4 weeks ago, Abigail didn't take kindly to the whole sitting up thing due to her age, and I had to support her front too. I can't believe though that the knacka-jack photographer never thought to mention that my hand would be in the shot on the full size photo...!! We were under the impression it was just head photos they were taking.
The photos are available to buy on the web as a pack for the less than cheap price of 50 quid! which makes the fact that my hand is in the shot all the more ridiculous!!
(Shown in this post are both the photo from the web and also the newspaper).

The competition itself is judged in typical X-Factor style by the number of text votes received, which is something else I don't agree with! Anyway if you want to vote for Abigail you need to do the following;

TEXT: ECBABY 709 to 84080

(Cost is 25p)

Gotta worry about my Missus at times...!

Messing around on the computer upstairs last night and Jen shouts "Abigail's photo's in The Sun!".

Turns out the The Sun newspaper is doing a bonniest baby contest and of course Jen couldn't resist submitting a pic of the apple of her eye....
