Ahhh!!!!! Happy St Patricks Day!!!!!

Happy St Paddys Day to you all.

I am at work early today, not dressed in anything remotely green, which is my usual custom on St Paddys Day all due to train work on Saturday....

Saturday started well enough - we drove into the city to pick up a real deal on an oven and hob and dropped it home with the intention of coming back into the city. But instead of driving back we thought we would be environmentally conscious and catch the train, mistake number 1 - there was works happening on the track so we had to go a little bit by train and then catch a bus the rest of the way. So by the time we got in, we felt sick and were running late, we missed the parade that was happening in the city, we only had time to get Jacks Passport photos done (more on this later) and I was meant to pop into work and forward on a file but we had to get back for Jack to attend a birthday party. So back on the train and the stupid bus, a rollercoaster ride later and 35 minutes late for the party.

Then Sunday, we had to go to Ikea and pick up our kitchen, we had ordered some worktops that had now come in. The main carcasses were out of stock, the payment because of a daily limit on cards we didnt know about ended up making it very stressful and Jack didn't get to play in the play area as it was full. Most of the day gone and then they over charged us so back and forth - we were grateful for the end of the day.

But then because of not being able to pop into work and forward on the file required for a 8.30am meeting today (Monday) I had to get up at 5.30 and catch a bus into work. So getting dressed in the dark and not being awake anyway I completely forgot my tradition of wearing green to celebrate the fellas day. But I made it on time to send the file but it got lost in cyberspace and so didnt arrive with the coach in time, so now I still have to send the file directly to the client instead anyway.

So fingers crossed at 7.53am on 17 March that my day can only get better.

But back to Jacks passport photo - we need to renew his passport - this will be a 10 year one so we tried to make him look as old as possible. Check our flicker photos later, we will put the photo on there - its amazing he looks about 8-9.
