Today Noo, Edward and I ventured in to Northampton whilst Jack and Elise went swimming with Ding.

We were after a new ‘stroller’ type pushchair for Edward and Toys R Us had a bargain. £130 reduced to £69.99 including a parasol, rain cover and foot muff. It is black and red and is really easy to push around! Edward loves it too – he went for a spin around ‘Where in the World…?’ (PC World!) which was in the next retail park down the road!

We got a couple of bits from Where in the World and here’s a first for us! their prices are generally cheaper online so you can reserve it online and collect in store paying the online price. We weren’t sure which products to go for so we couldn’t reserve it before we went but we did check and found out that there was a wireless hotspot in the car park. So we found the products we wanted, left the store, found the hotspot, logged on, via the laptop, using our free BT Openzone account, ordered the products online, went back to the store and saved ourselves £10!! Bargain!

On Thursday Noo took Jack and Elise to Stanwick Lakes, the nature reserve we visited a couple of weeks ago, as there was an activity day for kids. Jack and Elise made a bird box, a nut feeder and a fat ball each! Sarah will post the photos later! They also went on the nature trail and got a prize for finding all the clues.

Yesterday Sarah took all the kids to her Mum’s for lunch and stayed the rest of the afternoon so I was able to get several hours uninterrupted study in – it was fab! The only problem apart from missing them was the more I study the more I realise I need to study, there is so much to learn – esp with the web development. One tricky thing is trying to come with reasonably simple ideas for web pages that I can practice on. So if anyone has any bright ideas or challenges for me then let me know it would be really good practice!

I’m off now as it is now Sunday morning allbeit just but it is time for bed!

Jack and I are going to a computer fair in Kettering tomorrow (Sunday). We haven’t been before so we’re hoping it is a good one!
