Yet another Birthday

Hello again, in a busy week we come to the next 'big' day. Friday sees Frank celebrating his 14th birthday. News just in - Frank went to ATC tonight and has been promoted to 1st class cadet. He has also been invited to go for his first days flying on 1st August, REMEMBER - DUCK AND COVER. He has used a flight simulator on his computer, and he delights in trying to nose dive into the ground!

Louise's news and more

Guess what. Our little girl isn't a girl anymore. She's now officially an adult. On Sunday she turned eighteen, and we celebrated by having a family day out to Redcar and Saltburn (her choice in case you're wondering). Louise has also started a new job! She has got a job as a junior developer with Cubik. Watch out Bill Gates!

Frank is also really enjoying his new life in the ATC and at last we have managed to get a couple of photos of him in his dress uniform, he'll hate me for these I know, but who cares.

Vicky, having finished her GCSEs is currently enjoying an eleven week holiday, some days she even manages to get out of bed before two o'clock ( in the afternoon that is). She does get up for her sandwich shop job on a Saturday though, the shock of getting up before eight o'clock nearly kills her !

Julie and George's Wedding

On 2nd June we went to Julie and George's Wedding. I have been meaning to make a post about it for a while but i keep forgetting. It was a beautiful day, it was so sunny that they had to take the wedding pictures inside. Between the wedding and the reception we went to Uncle John and Aunty Norma's house and sat in the garden in the sun. The reception was brilliant, good music and good food and as Vicky will tell you, good drinks aswell. I will upload some more pictures later because these are only the pictures that Vicky has on her myspace.

New Car

We havent posted on here for ages so Vicky said we needed to do a post.

So what has happened recently.....?

Well on Friday we got a NEW CAR!!!!!! A brand new silver Renault Grand Scenic. Just slightly better than the old car : ) Mum and Dad are fighting for Chauffeur duties at the moment, I dont think it will be long before we have to get the bus again.

And....What a shock.... Vicky has a JOB!!!! She now works in a sandwich shop in Wortley (next to Matalan). So if you want food poisoning you know where to go (only joking....she only does the washing up).

What else....?

Frank got his uniform for Air Training Corps. He looks quite smart, I wonder how long for? He seems to be doing a good job of polishing his shoes, size 7!! Bigger than mine!!

On friday i passed my final Oracle exam, which means i have finished my Java course as well as my SQL course, just got my SQL certification left to do now.

Vicky got awards for being the best person in her english and ICT classes (what a pity the rest of her class didnt turn up).

It's a busy couple of months coming up with all three of us kids doing exams, Not long til summer though.

Getting ready for a nice Roast Beef dinner tonight, courtesy of Dad (makes a change from me cooking haha).

Thats all folks

Frank's Home

Frank came home this afternoon and is already lording it up. His homecoming was delayed until he could eat without vomitting and also get out of bed and walk. The first he managed at lunchtime, the second took a bit longer. Hey, come on, he is a teenager, Vicky always has problems getting out of bed! The consultant was very happy with the surgery and has even offered Frank a video of his own operation! Maybe I should post the gory bits on the blog when we get it! The good news from Franks point of view is that he's got the rest of the week off school, and also can't do PE or games for a month.

Frank's kidneys

Frank was lying in bed half asleep as he had just had a dose of morphene and was feeling a little sick because of this. Afer about half an hour he perked up a little. Apparrently he had waited for his sisters and mum to visit which was nice. Hopefully he will be home tomorrow sometime if he is eating without feeling ill.

Frank's kidneys

Frank is out of theatre and is in the recovery room. Will let you know more later.

Frank's kidneys

As most are aware Frank went into hospital on Sunday 4h March. I have just heard that he has gone into surgery and it will be about 4 to 5 hours before he is out.

Girls Day Out

While the boys were out, us girlies decided to go out too!

Where did we want to go? Matalan.
Where did we go? Otley, Pateley Bridge & Harrogate.

A great day out with a fun picnic at Pateley Bridge. 60 Miles travelled, lots of uphill at 20mph, much to the dismay of the Mercedes behind!

And finally, at the end of the day (well I say end of the day, it was 2pm), a trip to matalan, even if we didn't buy anything!
