Its just wonderful to see how far Banjo has come since his first posts in this thread. :cool:Well done mate! :cool:
Well yep we went upto mums we where going to stay till today but we where all getting bored with the rain so came home lastnight..
I ended up taking Karen & the kids out to Morpeth yesterday morning as they had never been there & guess what i even enjoyed myself walking up & down the main street & having a look in all the OLD shops & before we left we went down to the river for a look..So it was a good few hours spent looking around..
I took them all over the old bridge before we grabed a carpark & on the way back over the bridge as we where coming upto the bridge Karen said hey cool look an old scare crow then when we got upto the bridge the old scare crow moved & watched us drive over the bridge ..It was an old guy standing there with his hands on his hips so Karen coped a heap off us for the rest of the day..:D:D:D:D.
Karen took some pics ..So here they are..

So we all had a good day out & it was a day of firsts for me as use know i wont go out after eating. Well we got henny penny chicken on the way back to mums & had a big lunch & we desided to come home in the afternoon so i ended up driving home on a full stomach & even stopped off at my cousins at Wallsend on the way home & i got out & went in & we stayed for about an hour so that was real good for me anyway..
But to top off a great 2 days when we where leaving we packed up & was just leaving when Cody said wheres me school bag as we picked him up & went straight upto mums & when we got there we said leave it in the car as you wont need it..Well we couldnt find it & thought well he must of got it out & left it inside but he went & looked & couldnt find it still so we left & Graham My stepfather said if we find it ill drop it off tuesday going to work so we left..
Well just about to pull out the driveway & i opened the center box between the seats & stuff was missing ..Some MONGREL BASTARD got into me car at mums threw the night & took Codys school bag as it was a brand name bag & went threw the front box & took a tin of mine that had fuses & some spare accelerator springs in it ..Must off been kids to take a school bag & they would of shaked the tin & thought YAY money .HAHAHAHA dumb arses..Funny i looked on friday night to make sure all the doors where closed didnt worry about locking it as the house is well off the road & in the ritzy part of Thornton even Bob Brown the polly lives in the same street a few houses up.. But we think it mite of been the young kids across the road..So that put a downer on our weekend even tho it wasnt anything big that they took but like Karen said the little bit of money we had left we where going to buy some fire wood on the way home & get the keg going & just relax for the rest off the weekend but couldnt as we have to replace Codys school bag & all his stuff in it pencil case & all the stuff in it a pair of safety glasses of his & some books.. Ahwell not to worry..

Very proud of her this is the first time she has held the machine to skin & she stayed calm & relaxed & it turned out great..
You gotta remember my hands are badly dry & hard so wasnt like on smooth soft skin..
Will look great once it all heals up & she does a bit more shading...
Well done Fred.
Hope the dirty fingernails didn't put her off. :eek2:
