Jack's First Birthday

Our little Wiggle Bump is a YEAR OLD already!

I have no idea where the last year has gone, and I can't get over how much Jack has grown and changed since the day he was born!

We threw a party for him, with family and friends. Since there's no room in our house we booked a function room up at the Bowling Green Pub, which my Mum paid for as part of Jack's present.

We had a really good turn out too:
Family (not counting kids): My mum, Kate & Dave, Rachel & Garry, Jenny, Bob & Rach, Claire
Friends: Garry & Jill, Ray & Sarah, Fran & Simon, Jacquie & Dave, Jen, Roger, Steff, Mark, Ross, Jo, Abi
Kids: Chris, Nicky & Alex; Megan; Morgan & Jethro; Caitlin, Mia & Daniel; Adam & Conner, Luke; Issac.

We've bought this for Jack:

and some ball pool balls, a couple more dino's like Splodge, and some balls with characters in them that he LOVES!

It was a really nice do, only 2 hours long, but that was long enough for the kiddies who all oved playing with the Thomas set and the few other bits and bobs we brought up for them to play with. Only Chris and Caitlin were a bit fed up as they were so much older than the other kids, but they did well anyway.

We've got some photos on Flickr as usual, so please go on over and have a look!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers: Liver and bacon with onions and gravy and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’ liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz butter 2 tbsp sunflower oil 4 tbsp plain flour 1 onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky bacon rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1 beef stock cube 500ml/18fl oz jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato ketchup salt and freshly ground black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
