Here We Go Again...

Happy Monday.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Ours was quite busy.
On Saturday morning, I took Number One to Argos to pick up a game for his DS (as well as a Darth Vader costume, for him, not me!)
Since we were travelling to a different store, I decided to use my new SatNav. Well, he was in raptures, and got quite cross when he was interrupted by 'The Voice' - telling her she was rude. He then started repeating it, and told me that "In 300 yards you will reach your destiny"!

In the afternoon, we all went to see "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". It's about the third time I've seen it, but it was a pleasure to see the boys faces as the songs they know so well were brought to life on the stage.
In the evening, the two of us went to some friends in Warrington; but had to come home early, as Number One was suffering toothache.

On Sunday - his face was all swollen on the left side - an abcess. Great!
Antibiotics were obtained, and the day continued.
However, by about 4.30 he was well and truly drained - probably the late nights didn't help, but he was in bed and asleep before his baby brother (who was asleep by 6pm).

He woke again at about 9.30pm, and went to sleep in our bed. Which meant that I had to sleep in his bed.
This morning, I have not been able to shave, and feel a real scruff (probably look it too!)

Hopefully, he'll be well enough to go to school - I'll find out later.

I'm at work now, and beginning the last week of my secondment to this project. It'll be a shame to leave it, as I've built up quite a lot of knowledge. However, other projects are waiting.

I Found The Way

Following on from yesterdays' post about satnav; I am pleased to let you know that I plumped for the TomTom. I won a bid on eBay, and am now waiting to receive it.

It's the Mother-In-Laws birthday today (it's been a busy week!), so we bought a small cake and sang Happy Birthday. It's for the kids really - they enjoyed it.

The newest edition to the family is sleeping his way through life at the moment - although I did see his eyes last night. I think they're blue (but then all newborn babies have blue eyes).

Oh yes, and I've just uploaded another video to YouTube. This time it's my middle sons sports day from last summer- and if you fancy a good laugh, then this is for you.

Show Me The 'SatNav' Way

Right then. Are you sitting comfortably?

I've sold my iPAQ Mobile Media Companion (via eBay). Now I want to get a SatNav unit.
Don't ask me why. The car knows the way to work by itself, and I don't do a lot of travelling in areas I don't know.
But - I just fancy getting one. And since I've sold the PDA, I figure this isn't really going to cost me anything.

So, which one do I get? There are so many.

The one I've been looking at is the TomTom. The new version is really quite sleek, and the reviews are all very positive. But then some people say the mapping isn't as good as Garmin (which is a bit more expensive).

So, a dilemma. I think I'll plump for the TomTom. It looks easy to use, and can be used with a Bluetooth mobile to find traffic troublespots - therefore meaning a diversion can be used, and the unit will direct the way - allegedly.

I'm watching a couple on eBay - and I'll let you know. Feel free to point me in the right direction.
