Well full house at the moment – plasterer arrived nice and early, then the electrician. . and now the builders.
However – builders don’t seem too happy about the delay with the plasterer. But just have to see how it goes.
Decided to put up some pictures as well http://www.onlinephotogalleries.co.uk/main.php?g2_itemId=14200 from start – to now 🙂

Well – not put much up here recently, things have been mad at work.
The whole fitness program has died a death, but I now have 2 weeks to try to just loose that little bit extra. So back on the diet, and intending to do some workouts as well (only fatburning/cardio). I’m hovering on the 16st mark – so in all I’ve lost about 8lbs from my heaviest. I reckon with a squeeze on I could drop down to 15st 1/2 . . which would be great. That said I’ve a stagette weekend this weekend (last week was my stag weekend), and week after a joint night out with the missus + friends.
If you are interested in the photos check out www.onlinephotogalleries.co.uk (in the parties section).

Well back from a great honeymoon. . .we met some loverly people out there and the place was loverly!
Finally got all the photos uploaded now (check links on the right)and just trying to sort out the wedding video so I can upload some “fun” parts of that 🙂
Off soon to go and get the complete footage as well. . . so that should be fun trolling through about 10 hrs of video footage!

12 years – and finally we’ve done it and tied the knot!
The day . . was excellent – I don’t think we could have asked for more from friends, family and those supporting the wedding (videographer etc).
First round of photo’s are up: http://www.onlinephotogalleries.co.uk/main.php?g2_itemId=9663
Hopefully lots more to follow (we want people to send through all photo’s to us) – so keep checking back 🙂

Well – bit of a weird thing to post on my blog, but wanted to share this as I’ve had this happen twice. I’ve the 2005.3 KEF Speaker set, overall it is excellent and I’m more than happy with it. However – just when it was coming upto 12 months old, the sub stopped working. No power light, nothing. Thankfully Richer Sounds did a great swap out for me and I had a nice new shiney amp 🙂
But again a couple of days ago, I noticed the sub had stopped working again. But this time I’m out of the 12 month instant swap out and that would mean sending it off. So I did some digging. There is a small fuse next to the power connection on the sub, taking it out and testing showed the fuse was blown.
Shouldn’t be a problem. . just replace it! However the fuse has a ref number of F4H. . . when searching on google, nothing (or very little). I couldn’t find anywhere to buy it. The good news is one of the links did have someone with the same problem who found a suitable replacement which is available in packs of 10 from Maplins. They cost £1.99 so it’s 19p to get your sub back up and running 🙂
The code at Maplin is GJ95D, so F4H = GJ95D. The fuse with the sub is a ceramic 4A quick blowing fuse. The replacement is a 4A glass quick blowing fuse.
So – something useful to share rather than the normal waffle 🙂

Doh nearly forgot to actually update my blog on the excellent news 🙂 We are having a baby 🙂
The wife is now 14 weeks gone! Couple of scans have been done and all is going well. To say I’m happy is an understatement – and I really really cannot wait until I’ve my little baby in my arms 🙂

Well – finally time for another break camping! This time we’re going for a good 10 days. . .and I may even do some windsurfing! I’m heading up to Exmouth and one of the big lakes up there with my brother and his family. Best thing being – I’m sure the dogs are going to LOVE this 🙂 I’m hoping we can get them swimming properly, time will tell.

Well on one hand camping was a complete success. We had a really good time in the end and good company with my brothers family. The weather was very mixed, but personally, I love sitting in a tent nice n dry while it is raining outside with a can of beer and a book 🙂 The intention was to do alot of sailing with my brother, but from the moment we arrived I just wanted to relax and unwind. . . which is exactly what I did 🙂
However – the dogs don’t necessarily allow this 🙁 While the campsite was quiet it wasn’t too bad. But as it got busier the dogs got worse (running up and barking at people). They even barked at my brother nearly every day even though 30 seconds later they were happy being fussed! It is something we need to sort though – at the end of 8 days we’d both had enough and decided to head back while we had a nice dry day to pack up.
It was really the first time I’ve found the dogs to be a problem. We did a few trips out – and again. . with the dogs each trip was a nightmare.
I wouldn’t mind but even after a 9-10 mile walk. . .they were STILL jumping up and barking 🙂
But – all in all we had a nice time and some lessons learned.

. . .I was going to post more! But didn’t 🙂
Oh well eh!
Anyway – whats new? Wine making is going well – actually got 15 gallons on the go as we speak (about 80 bottles worth). Got all the bits I need to start “mass” producing it so intend to get a nice stock up. Using proper kits for this – so the wine is generally a better quality. Basically it is the equiv to the £5-7 bottles you’ll buy in the shops.
I’ve tried the Red wine kits – but not happy with those yet. I’ve got a couple of bottles I’ve left to mature for a few months and I’ll see if it is just the case it needs maturing.
Diet . . . .yup DIET! I’m losing weight. I actually weighed myself today and I’m the lightest I’ve been for a while – so quite happy with myself :).
Other than that – not much going on. Work is HELL – I swear even the devil wouldn’t want my job (but think he takes over some of my bosses from time to time!). Would love to change jobs – but in this climate. . . .probably not worth the risk.
Well I’ll think about more updates. Perhaps even finishing those stories I keep looking at . . . maybe – have to delve into Visual Basic a bit more as well. . .oh the joy!

Well – Bandit has had his first real exposure to kids and people, and was great (although knackered by the end of the day). We had a big BBQ with friends coming round, including their kids, so it was all go. He got on great with the kids, loved the attention and thankfully DIDN’T get under peoples feet 🙂
He’s still only got one ear up – but other one is starting to make progress. We are hoping soon to start taking him for some short walks out the front. He’s doing his puppy socialisation – so we think we’ll try this week for a short little walk 🙂
