Went For A Run |
|
| Went for a run first thing and then got ready for work. Had a pretty good day again. Got home and rushed around to get ready to go out again to banger racing at Alfriston with Dad. That was really good. We got there a little late and had a little trouble finding the stadium but when we got there it was amazing! I loved it! banger racing is the best spectator sport ever! We watched a couple of hours of so of good racing. When I got home I had loads of soot and fibre glass stuff all over and in my hair it was wicked! | |

Did My Driving Experience Day |
|
| We got up a decent time and went over to the harvester again for our breakfast which was pretty good. Checked out the hotel about 9am and make our way to stock car racing track for my experience day. After a little wait for everyone to turn up, we had our drivers briefing and then they split us into about 6 groups of 6. My groups was a good crowd and we went to the del boy challenge first which was doing time trails in a 3 wheeled robin reliant. That was really good fun. Next it was the nag drag where one of us was blind folded and the other had to navigate the driver through a course. After that we did the professionals which was doing time trails in a ford capris and other banger cars. That was really good as well. Then we had a break for lunch and after that we were watching the other groups do the stock car racing for a while and then it was our go to race formula 2 stock cars! that was pretty good although I found it quite hard to drive them and race them. Then the winner of our group went on to a final which was a good race with one of the cars flipping over! very dramatic! we left just after 4pm. It was a really good day. I drove us home and we listened to the England game on the radio. Got in a had a rest really. Watched `World Trade Centre` in the evening which was alright | |

Joan's
Funeral |
|
| Up fairly early to go to Joan's funeral in Essex. Dad picked us up and we all drove to Southend. We got there slightly early and so we found a cafe an d had some breakfast before meeting everyone at the crematorium. It was a good service and there was a good crowd there. After the service we hung around for a while and looked at the flowers and chatted and then went to a pub for lunch. We sat outside as they didn't allow children in, but it was a nice day and it was probably better sitting outside anyway. The food was very nice and we all stayed there for quite a number of hours. Andrea and Katie went back with Anne and Mike but me and Dad drove up to Northampton to stay in a hotel ready for my driving experience day that Andrea had bought me for my 30th Birthday. Had a good drive up there really and found the hotel OK arriving by about 6pm. We checked in and had a shower and sorted our selves out and then went across the road to a harvester type place and had a meal and a few drinks that was really nice to spend some with Dad. Got to bad about 10pm | |

Went To
Church To Meet Rosie |
|
| After Katie had had her morning nap we drove over to church to meet up with Rosie who wanted to talk about some home group stuff with us. Then we came home and had lunch and stuff. After Katie's afternoon nap we went for a walk, with her in the baby carrier, up towards Woodingdean. We had planned to do a loop around Bevendean but the paths were private and the only way round was a really really long walk so we went back the way we'd come but kept having to re-trace out steps as Katie's sock kept falling off! At around 6pm Andrea went to collect Jennifer who was going to stay with us a couple of nights. It was good to see her again. Paul and Amanda came over and we had an indoor BBQ which was good. | |

Katie
Anne's Dedication Service We were up fairly early and I took a load of last minute stuff over to Anne and Mike's for the BBQ. Then went straight on to church for about 10am. Had Katie Anne's dedication service at church which was really good. Had a fair few people come along which was great. We then all went back to Anne and Mike's for the BBQ, which was really good. Gary from church did the cooking and Laura served drinks which was great. Most people had left by about 5pm and then we stayed until about 7pm. I was shattered when we got in and went to bed about 8pm! |
