Evening folks,
Just checking in quickly...still no time to post pics sorry!
The kids are all now in bed, and I'm pretty knackered. They get up super early (the older ones; BabyE sometimes sleeps till 8 or 9 which is awesome!) even though they didn't go to bed unil almost midnight. They will still get up about half6..on a Saturday!!
Dawn - Wow great story! Thanks for sharing!
Raine - I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt I am thinking of you and your family.
Raine & Caryn Guy Fawkes Night comes from the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. This was a group of English Catholics who tried to assassinate the Protestant King and replace him with a Catholic head of state. Guy Fawkes was the person who was left in charge of the gunpowder which was placed underneath the House of Lords, but it was discovered and he was arrested (and sentenced to death I think). November the 5th was then made a holiday (though it's not any more) and bonfires and fireworks were set off to remind us of this. You are supposed to put a Guy on the bonfire (just a dummy made up of straw, wood etc.). I think the film V for Vendetta is loosely based on the story. I used to know more about it, cause you learn about it at primary school but I've kinda forgotten now
Marielle - YAY for Rob, Kristen & Stephenie landing in Brazil!! No Taylor though right?? I hope not anyway... It's all really happening now isn't it?
Susie - Did everyone enjoy your soup?? I love homemade soup - yum!
Oh I did miss my Lex anniversary! Whoops Oh well, I'll celebrate my 2 years one next year instead Haha!
Oh and Ginnie and Susie, you should totally read Harry Potter!! It really is very good.
Sorry for the rubbish post but gotta run - goodnight!
