High Brow Business Lunch

Bezzy mates Abigail and Amber met at the South Beach pub last Friday evening to discuss business....

Abigail: "So we've called this meeting to hold a telephone auction of that particular toy"

Amber: "I will now consult my buyers guide to see what we can expect for this most sought after item..."

Amber: "According to this we should expect to receive at least a couple of grand for it. Can you believe it?! I mean look at it...!"

Abigail: "Seems a lot like. I'll get straight on the blower and see what we can get for it"

(10 minutes, and a dozen phone calls later...)

Abigail: "5op!!! Can you believe that! The cheeky ****"

Amber: "WHAT! I'd rather throw it away than let it go for that!"

.....

Abigail: "Right are you going to the bar or am I...?!"

The 3rd love of my life and a post without Abigail in it!

A mate (cheers Ian) offered me a last minute ticket to the biggest football match of the year for Newcastle - the local 'Tyne, Wear Derby" against Sunderland.

Although I've got season tickets in my name, I sell them on each year (for a number of reasons) and don't really get to the match much as a result. This was actually my first game of the season.

Turned out to be a good game, mainly because Owen scored so early and that was all my nerves settled. Final score was 2-0 to Newcastle for anyone that doesn't know......and if you didn't know - Shame on you!!

Abigail's bath time

Better Late Than Never!

Back in December of last year whilst out doing some last minute Christmas shopping we walked past one of those mobile professional photographers in a local shopping centre. We had time to spare, so thought what the hell, and for once Abigail wasn't covered head to toe in baby food!

It's only taken me 3 months to get the resulting photos uploaded!.....blame too much PS3 time and not enough blog time!!!

Can't believe how quickly she's changing at the minute. I'll have to get some recent photos uploaded, along with a video of Abigail's version of crawling...!

Hoody Culture

'Aboo' as she's now come to be known, just at times has bother written all over her face! At the minute, with those two bottom teeth she has the look of a cartoon dog...I just can't decide which one; Gnasher (Dennis the Menace's partner in crime) or an upside down Goofy (the Disney Dog)..!

And so it begins/ends....

Abigail had her first day at Nursery today, which meant it was also Jen's first day back at work and the end of her 9 months Maternity Leave.
Jen's been taking her for introductory days over the last few weeks to get used to the people and new environment etc, so when it came to saying goodbye this morning Jen was kind of accustomed to it. I went along this morning too, and I have to say I found it a lot harder than I expected! Don't get me wrong the nursery is really spot on and I can't fault the place but it just felt really strange saying goodbye for the day - heart wrenching I think is the phrase.
Anyway Abigail had a good day and according to her daily diary/report (!!) they think she'll settle in no bother :o)
Out little girl is growing up...!!

Not Strictly A Concert

Jen is massively into the 'Strictly Come Dancing' series that are now an anual event on BBC1. So when they announced there was to be a tour, she was mad keen to go as you can imagine...!

As a kind of extended Christmas pressie I managed to get us some of the floor side seats - 3 rows from the front when the show came to Newcastle Arena last month. It was certainly the strangest 'gig' I've ever been to and I've just gotten round to putting the photo's online....
