Ye gods, I feel old


Hooligan number 1 was eleven today. Happy birthday to Bean.

Normal school day followed by a tough session at boxing club and then his fave Chinese take away in front of a dvd.

Tomorrow I'm taking him and a few of his chums to Castle Grim for an evening European rugby match.

I cannot believe it was eleven years ago that I was desperately avoiding the business end,nursing a bad hangover as a very chipper young Kiwi surgeon neatly sliced open Amanda's tum to bring him into the world accompanied by a sound which rather resembled the noise of a big Guinness follow through.

Happy birthday chum.

Happy birthday to him - I'm sure he'll be thrilled at your description of his birth!

I'm amazed I got through it without gas and air

I'm amazed I got through my sprog's conception without gas and air too. She's 13 now. Thirteen going on 26.

Happy birthday to him! Blimey, he is going to be a handsome chap (he is already in fact)!

P.S. the 'noise of a big guinnes follow through' cracked me up no end!

Bren, I dread the teenage years, he's already developing Kevin from Harry Enfield tendencies.

Gets his looks from his father Annie, goes without saying :)
