Off on a jaunt...

Apologies one and all for the recent lack of posting...I would say it's because I've been really busy but, in all honesty, I can't really remember anything I've done recently - wow, what an exciting life I must lead?! 

Poorly Baby, having a snooze on Mummy's shoulder

Well, it is half term, which means a whole 2 weeks with Brandon at home.  It really isn't as headache inducing as I thought, however, that might be due to the fact that he has been a poorly lil chicken these past 2 days.  After 2 trips to the doctors over the past 2 days, it has been decided that he has an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection and Eye Infection (yuck!!). He has a cocktail of medicines, eye drops and nasal drops to keep being plied with.  

I had nightmares that this was going to end up being something serious, as is every Mother's nightmare, but also because Matt and I have some very rare time off booked for tomorrow.  


L-R: Me, Erik Chandler, Me, Jaret Reddick
We are off on a jaunt to Brighton for the day (after dropping Brandon off at Matt's mum's that is).  

We are going to go and see Jaret Reddick and Erik Chandler from the American Pop/Punk Group, Bowling For Soup. They are doing an acoustic tour and, after seeing them live last year, it fueled my love for them all the more, so Matt and I were gutted when we couldn't afford tickets to go. However, somewhere along the line, Matt's luck changed and he won 2 tickets to any show on the tour!! RESULT!!! 

We will be driving back tomorrow night, but Brandon is staying at Matt's mum's. We can't wait, looking forward to getting up when we're ready (rather than being woken up), taking some time for us and then heading over for dinner and collecting the boy.  

We're hoping that, after the wedding n all, we will be able to afford tickets to their October Tour, when the whole band will be together doing what they do best =) If you do one thing this year, try and get to see Bowling For Soup play live - they really are awesome to watch.  Failing that, if you can't get to a show (or afford it), go to YouTube and watch some of their live videos. 

Sorry things aren't more exciting at this end, I'm quite sure when something exciting does happen you will be some of the first to know about it. 

Much love to you and yours.
