Today we started off with breakfast in the hotel and then a few games of table football. We then went to the Lego store so i could get a new set of Brickheadz which got released today. We then had a look round the shops, then went for lunch. I had a nice KFC and everyone else had a Starbucks. In the afternoon we went to Volcano Falls Mini Golf, going on 2 of the 3 courses, Volcano Valley and Carnival Golf which were great fun. We then headed home and it was a great Birthday weekend.

Its my 43rd Birthday today and i got lots of great Lego Brickheadz sets, a nice Loungefly Card holder and some lovey cards.

Today we went to Milton Keynes to celebrate my birthday. We had a look round the shops in the morning and then checked into The Moxy hotel. Ethan and I then went to Gravity Rocks climbing at Xscape, we had a good time, it was quite warm though! We went back to the hotel afterwards for a bit of chill before heading out for dinner at Las Iguanas. I had the fajitas which were lovely! We then went back to the hotel and i had a cake and we played table football.

Having had the summer off from RC racing we needed to fix our cars before we could race again. We needed new bumpers, shells, tyres and Ethans needed some soldering. We went to my parents today to get the shells sprayed, I went for Hot Pink and Ethan went for Lime Green. They turned out really nice, i got all the wheels fitted and the tyre protectors all glued on so we are ready to race now.

It was Sams 40th birthday today and my Sister had arranged him a surprise birthday party at The Glen Parva Manor. It was nice to see his family as well as my own.

Today Dad came over and we worked on getting some of the last work done on the garden. We started by trimming all of the trees back near the shed and house border. We then moved onto fitting the seats around the circle, we got a nice tight fit but also added some expanding glue to really help them not moved. We then worked on moving the bin store and then cladding it in the 6x1 to match the shed. We had to do some work on the doors to make everything fit but it turned out really well, like a mini version of the shed. We then got all the rubbish left over and took it to the tip. I gave the hedges on the front a cut and Ethan helped me clean up and then Rachel and Ethan put down some grass seeds in the bold patches.

Today Rachel, Ethan and I went to AirHop Warwick. We had never been before but it had trampolines, slides, foam pits, dodgeball court and a soft play. We had a great time jumping and going on the slides. In the evening we made pizzas which turned out lovely.

It has been 16 years since Rachel and I went on our first date, so we decided to go out for dinner together tonight. We went to Zizzis and had a lovely meal. We couldnt decide on dessert so we nipped to the shops on the way home and got some.

Today Dad, Ethan, Thomas and I went to the Brampton Valley Way in Northampton for a bike ride. It was once a disused railway but now can be used as a bike way. The ride was good, the tunnel was closed and we were sent on a diversion, which we then got lost trying to follow the signs and ended up riding all the way through Market Harborough, in the end we had to turn around and head back the way we came, in the end we nearly did 15 miles. Afterwards we went to McDonalds for some lunch and in the evening we went to Nandos.

I started my new job at The Learning Pool today. They had sent me a new M5 MacBook Pro which I got up and running with my setup after the upgrade. I had a day of meetings and forms to fill out. I am looking forward to new challenges.

Dad came over today to help on the garden. We started off by laying all of the new boarder blocks and then haunching all of the blocks that we had laid before to stop them from moving. Dad then relayed the slabs while I cut out all of the dead grass and replaced it with new turf. We also lowered the manhole that was sticking up in the garden so we don't trip over it.
