Kell's now back in Preston and she says that Luke had more surgery today and that the next 24 hours are critical. Am sure we're all keeping Lukey in the forefront of all our thoughts and prayers.

I've been tagged by the gorgeous Jemma

Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages.)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.

3. It's: Guffaws, chatter and the clanking din of goods deliveries grow louder

4. Next three sentences:

outside her window, ; sleeping may prove difficult though she'll probably

drop off during the lull that always comes between the shops preparing

themselves and the customers arriving. Her consciousness is already

5. Link back to the lovely Jemma....

6. I tag Clare,  Sasha Becky Mandy and Jayne

Ok so my little boy can wave goodbye, blow a kiss and kiss me on demand - and it melts my heart every time he does any of these things.

Just heard from Kell that her computer is screwed so she can't post this herself - wanted to let everyone know that Luke has just gone into theatre for a 5 hour op and for y'all to think of him and send lots of good vibes his way.

Tim told me recently that by a certain age children are able to recognise a large number of brands.

Now Nic knows who Old McDonald is (as she calls Maccy Ds) and that they produce food and I've brain washed her into believing it's food that's bad for her.

Sitting on the couch with Nic last night an advert came on the TV showing a sandwich being put together and just before the product was shown she pipes up "It's Hellmans Light" mumma. And it was.

Think she might be watching a tad too much TV.

Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon or a helicopter?  Where did you go?

Yep - was lucky enough to ride in a helicopter from Macau to Hong Kong when my mate Alice and I visited my brother early 2000 sometime. Am pretty sure it was Nick's birthday and rather than us treating him, he treated us.

It was absolutely amazing. Great fun and something to be treasured and never forgotten. Have I mentioned that I think my brother's the best?

We were food shopping on Saturday and sat the two kiddies in the trolley.

We're packing up at the end and Zachy was a bit agitated as he was due a nap. We popped his dummy in and he sat there with Nic. I turned back to helping Tim load all the stuff into carrier bags, turn back again and there's Nic with her arms around her brother and him with his head on her shoulder.

My heart melted and I just wanted to cry from the beauty of it. It was a total kodak moment of my gorgeous little babies.

Show us peace.

I was telling my mate Rick in the office all about what I'm up to this week end which includes me and Tim going to watch England at the brand spanking new Wembley tomorrow.

Thing is, I couldn't remember who they were playing. I got that the team began with an E and that it was a European country. After much humming and hawwwing, one of the other lads in the office, who must've been so frustrated by my general mumblings piped 'Estonia'. Penny drops!

Very excited - probably as much about getting to go to/see Wembley as watching England play.

Come on Eng-er-land!!!
