UPDATE

jakey had a great 15th birthday. he had 4 of his friends turn up after we had dinner to spend some time with him (i NEVER would have been allowed to visit my friends at 8 p.m. on a school night but times have obviously changed)

they all helped him eat his cake. he has a lovely lot of friends - both boys and girls - although jakey is oblivious to the way the girls look at him. even mark noticed the way the girls look so dreamily jakey but jake just sees them as friends. and that's very sweet i think.
dad and erica were here to have dinner with us which is the first time they have spent a birthday with jakey. they fussed over him (and dad teased him relentlessly) but that is what grandparents are supposed to do.
here are a few pics from his special day.

the best "smile" he could muster for his snap happy mum...LOL

"now let's get a NICE photo of you all"...YEAH RIGHT !!!

with nanny and grandad

we never tire of kisses and cuddles with this gorgeous boy of ours
love you baby

thanks to all of you who sent good wishes to me for my uncle bob. his op was yesterday...a very long op as it turned out. they wheeled him into theatre at 12.30 and he was wheeled into recovery at 5.15.
dad saw him back on the ward last night and bob was fairly out of it but knew that dad and erica were there. being a public patient in a public hospital there wasn't a doctor around at 8.30 when dad saw him to let us know how the op went so we will have to wait for today for any information. all the nurses would say was that he was comfortable and would be given pain meds through the night.

have been flat out organising the mother's day stall for school tomorrow. spent 3 hours at the school yesterday wrapping gifts (and gossiping and laughing) with a great bunch of mums.
just as i was walking out the gate, jackie our school assistant, hands me another huge box of goodies that had been overlooked so i will be busy wrapping after work today. it should be a good stall too - the kids are excited about being able to shop at school for a gift for mum.

and finally it is good see my dear buddy, the gorgeous miss shari back online after so long.
welcome back darls...i look forward to catching up with you again.
love ya

have a happy day, one and all

p.s. we have decided tonight will be our first official night to light the fire.
can't wait to snuggle up in front of it with a coffee and watch the flames.
