Merry Christmas Folks!
Merry Christmas Folks! From all the family at castle skitz.
We've got the oldest (87 yr old Lizzie) and the youngest (6 month old Freddie) members of our family here, and 10 others, all getting ready for preparing dinner. The two hour prezzie marathon is over, and the car is full of bags of ripped wrapping paper ready for the recycler. Now is the time to get hungry, while we get dinner ready.... (chicken, lamb and gammon) 
It's been a bundle of fun and laughs here so far.... here's to the rest of the day 
No Heating = Cold Castle
The castle is a shiverin tonight folks.... the heating's packed up, and won't be fixed until next wednesday.....
Need a new fire valve, and a new pipe from the oil tank to the burner.... good job my landlord's a decent bloke, he's wired us the money to pay for it already...
So... until wednesday.... no need to put the beers in the fridge 
Our Halloween Party Night V1.00
We went out for the Halloween spectacular at the nearby Fantasy Island tonight, and while there isn't an amazing amount of pics, what there is here for you you to have a laugh at... (and no, I didn't plan to get there five minutes before the start of the Liverpool Vs WBA game (which we won 2-0,btw) at all, no sir-ee, pure coincidence, just like being sat in front of 6 screens showing it was, honest)
Carol was dressed up as a sexy witch, but she won't let me put her pics up.... (BORRRRRRRRRING) <---- (If I don't appear online for a week, she killed me, for writing that)
Miss Connie... posing as normal
yep... that'l be me then.....
This girls' birth was the subject of my very first teoti thread...
The Crew (minus a Harry, who didn't want his picture took...)
Harry wondering why we all dressed up silly...
Freddie, my little pumpkin, praying we won't dress up again....
Jack, and oh hey... football on the big screen and three smaller screens (the other two were left and right of the nearest screen)
Some (not so) pretty firework shots...
Our Tenth Wedding Anniversary....
Ten years ago today I married my wife..... I'd be out by now if I killed her on the first date. But I wouldn't have the wonderful amazing life I have now, with the one woman in the world with the patience to put up with me, and not complain when I act like a div.
I never thought I'd get married, and to see it last ten years, and us being each others best mate, feels dead good...
Go us....
I'm Very Sad Today
I had some tragic news waiting for me when I woke up this morning. One of the friends I've known for almost 35 years took his own life on Tuesday. He'd always battled with himself, and in the end he lost and just gave up.
We were very good mates at school, always bunkin off class together, and smoking or drinking... he was good lad, one of the old school type...
I'm very sad today... thanks for listening.
I Really Like the Blog Function Thingy.....
It means, when you post a personal-to-you type thread, you can find it very easilly, as it's there at the bottom of your profile page...
It's like your own personal sticky list....
Top job Mark... 
My Weekend of Fun
We had the kids all christened yesterday, and over this weekend, have had about 25 of our good friends staying at the house, and camping in the front garden. It's been a bit messy, we got through about 500 bottles of beer, half a cow on the BBQ, and a whole field of buddah. No one argued, no one did anything too stupid, the kids have not been shouted at once, and the neighbours haven't complained. Yesterday for the christenings themselves, about another 25 family members turned up, dr3nbo, mrs dr3n and two mini dr3ns even showed up.. all-in-all it's been pretty much perfect.
I didn't take any pictures, and I don't think too many were taken, we having too much fun.... If I track any down I'll put em up lol....
Now with the mother of all hangovers I've gotta drop off 7 people to Coventry, 120 miles away and get back straight away coz we've got an appointment at the bank to set up an account for Freddie at midday tomorrow.... 
Great weekend.... fukn great..... 
*EDIT*
I found one picture from the church... Which is over 700 years old, btw

If I Was A Dog, They'd Put Me Down
ok so 3 weeks ago I was feelin pretty bad, that was couple of before I was in hospital overnight, after tearing some inner chest muscles. I'm still in quite a bit of pain from that, and taking some very strong painkillers. It still feels like someone has a fistful of my chest muscles from the inside, and they're twisting it 180 dgrees when I cough.
I've the chest infection back, so I'm coughin more, and more, esp at night, which means I have to wake up and take pain killers thru the night, which disturbs my sleep even more than it already is, thus me getting up in the morning is, stupidly horrible.
Then today, I sat down for dinner (roast chicken, mash, carrots, broccoli, peas, cabbage and topped with bisto gravy), took three mouthfuls, and though "oh a beer would go down well with this" walked out to the beer fridge, and three steps from it, spotaneusly projectile vomited over the patio.
So not only did carry on pukin for about five mins, but I obviously lost my appetite, and blanked my dinner, but I also missed out on the beer... 
Oh and as well as the obligitary cold-sore-once-stressed-and-being-rundown, I'm getting a form of dermatitis caused by stress and being rundown, where the skin will just start like a blister, then when you rub it, it peels off. Well I had to peel a bit off the other day, and it pulled some fresh skin off as well. I woke up this morning, to find my finger was all red, and so now that has become a bit infected, I had to squeeze a bit of pus out, and rub some alcohol hand cleanser into every half hour... It seems to be gettin a bit better, but hey, it's the lowest thing on the list, so I aint that bothered about that one.
I made that damm dinner today, I was totally lookin forward to it.... It looked and smelt fuckin great....
Actually, thinking and typing live here, I hope I aint got a tummy bug... I'm gonna have to be carfull around Connie and Harry for the next 24 hrs... I'm gonna starve the fucker out of me, nowt for 24 hrs, a bit of dry toast, and plenty of liquids in between....
Kids up for school in the morning, and Carol's told me, we're going back to bed untill midday, once the bus collects them at half eight.
Who am I to argue?
If she took me to the vets, I'd be given a funny blue drink to glug...
One more cup of tea, and it's time for bed, just after 10pm. Gotta get some more free drugs down my throat fist though.

ok in a lot of pain today... my chest's killin me, probably a chest infection, but I'm passing it off as a pulled muscle so I don't worry mrs s....
anyway, today had proved to me that is is a chest infection, and luck ole me, I found a full strip of 24 500mg amoxycillins, so dr moi has prescribed them, along with 400mg ibuprofens to reduce swelling and pain...
I love my medicine cabinet

You know, I used to love being on the road, on the trucks. The solitude, and all that. But now I aprreciate being at home and seeing every minute of Connie growing up (as you lot see from the pictures) and I see every minute I'm awake. There's a mate of mine, who's probably my closest mate at the min, and he's out on th eroad every day, and I speak to him most days, and each time I do, I'm grateful that I am not able to go to work everyday, like I want to. I'm in a position where twenty years ago, I would have failed my family.
Thankfully these days I'm allowed to be a slacker and not die at 35...... I get to last a bit longer..... You cannot understand how much I appreciate that.
But I can remember getting into my truck at 5am, starting the engine, and glancing at the first drop on my delivery run and thinking.... 3> hr drive to my FIRST drop??? COOL AS FUCK.....
And it'd be so nice to have that back...

great, so now I've got an infection in my foot, and I can't go swimming until it's cleared up.... actually, I can hardly fucking walk at the min, it's proper painful. I still managed to take an engine apart today, sod the pain, that's what stella and 500mg antibiotics are for!!
