Take cover

Keep your freinds close, your enemies closer and your mates with paintballs firmly in front of you.

Saturday was a day spent running around Lasham forrest(?) trying to avoid being shot. Actually it was a very good day spent with some cracking people. Got shot a lot but had a good time. Moment of the day for me. Hiding behind some cover I spotted my next cover point. Asking for covering fire I launched myself at full speed while firing to keep opposition heads done. Tripped, tumbled and then rolled perfectly into the covering position and kept firing. People thought it was great. Didn't have the heart to tell them I actually trip and to stop myself hurting myself added the roll.

As I said to one young lad when asked if it was deliberate. "At nearly 37 throwing yourself on the floor is never deliberate".

Feeling it a bit today but very good.

Oh and never tell your mate at the end of the day that you are out of paintballs, and then walk of in front of him...........

Bunch of wankers

Two pregnant women get on a crowded bus and not one f**king asswhip would offer either of them a seat. What is this country coming too.

Crinkle

Holy hell ina handbag I was in bad mood yesterday. Caused mainly by our shiny new Intranet which doesn't actually do anything different than the old (Now called Global Intranet). Although it is built on Microshites SparePoint to make it easier to use. The whole thing has been built by a 3rd party company just to add a degree of complexity. So here it is in simple terms.

Situation.
Change a link to an application on another server on both Intranet and Global Intranet( Which was old Intranet but can't get rid off because..........WELL ITS GLOBAL)

Time taken to change on Global Intranet = 5 mins.

Time taken to change on Intranet = 4 hours 34 mins and 23 seconds including
a)Trying to find the fking list for the applications
b)Pulling what hair I have left out.
c)Three emails - including one to the vendor.

Turns out it was simple but as the dude on catchphrase used to say... it is only easy if you know the answer..

One of those months

I am sure we have all had those months when everything breaks and you seem to hermrage money.

Well September certainly seems to the case in the Hunt household. The list so far;

1. 3 Birthdays
2. 4 new tyres (bearing in mind Daddy's green car as big wheels)
3. 40th
4. Couple of trips
5. Laptop blowing up.
6. Kettle pissed water all over the Kitchen top. (Guessing a leak)

Still to come.

1. Paint balling
2. Trip to London for a concert see point 1 above
3. Car making a bit of a rattle.
4. Baby stuff (but not this month)

On the plus side.

a. Sister in-law paid back a bit of the money we lent her (not that we asked for it, which was nice) - Nice new laptop.
b. The 3 lottery tickets I have not checked just might hold my salvation

In other news.....

1. Stopped taking multivitamins as they seemed to a) Make me even more tired b)Unable to control my emotions. (ended up curled in the corner of lounge because I spilt some juice over the table).
2. Cell Tomorrow night.
3. Andrea Bocelli Thursday night ( See 1 at the top)
4. Paint balling to really get rid of some aggression.

Tiny steps

Yesterday was a good day. Finally had it confirmed that Babito has a low risk of downs Syndrome. Which is good news.

Whilst this is nice to know, I am still keeping my rather large feet on the ground.

Sympathy symptoms

Yep apparently Babito is playing havoc with my systems. These include but not limited to weird arsed dreams and being constantly knackered. In fact last night I went to bed at 10pm and crashed. I mean totally gone.

I was then woken up this loud shrill. I slapped the alarm clock thing 'f**k me not already'. Hitting it made no difference at all. So I smacked it again. At this point Mrs H said it was the phone. "What phone" I replied still half asleep. Finally I realized we did indeed have a phone in the bedroom. It was 11:15pm.

Love is.................

Sitting through Mamma Mia with your loved one.

To be fair the amount of crap I make her sit through it only seems fair. It really is dire piece of crap. High school the musical I get, no I really do. Young kids jumping around singing etc etc.. I get it. However class actors like Meryl Streep et al doing the same thing just aint right.

C day

After Fifteen days I finally get to see Charlotte again. If I am not mistaken this is the longest time I have been with out her. Looking forward telling her about a possible new sibling. To fair she actually knew before we did. At a BBQ a few months ago out of the blue she kissed Mrs h on the Tummy and said "There you go". Which was weird because we hadn't found out yet. What was weirder was for the first pregnancy she went up to her room and cleaned out a toy cot she has, that she never plays with, before we knew.... I shit thee not...

In other news following from the company "How to walk up the stairs" posters, we now have "How to wash your hands" Posters. This will be followed by "How to go wee wee" and "How to Breath"

Cats in the cradle

Very emotional day yesterday. I spent the better part of the lunchtime period in tears looking at a screen of a 12 week old foetus. AKA Babito or Baby Hunt.

Part one of the Nuchal test is low risk and we now wait for part 2 which are the bloods.

Finding myself in a very weird place where I want to shout it from the roof but in the past have found that these moments of pure Joy are swiftly followed by a sharp kick in the nuts. So trying to keep focussed.
