Sitting in the back row

Well how rubbish am I? I enthusiastically start my first blog - post daily blogs for three days in a row, then get so bogged down in the nitty gritty of trying (and yet still failing) to make it so others can actually find my blog that I don't get round to posting another entry for the next three days!

My apologies.

Anyway in my last post I was telling you how I had some photographs taken of the children and I was looking forward to seeing the proofs. Well they were posted online yesterday and I was certainly not disappointed. I know I'm biased but they are superb. Obviously I won't be posting any of them on here but I am happy to say once again that they were taken by Vicki Brown of Looking Glass Photography and if you want some lovely natural pics done then she's your lady. The problem now is in choosing which of the gorgeous pics to have copies of and limiting myself on how many I order!

Thanks to the nice people at Sky I managed to cop 4 free tickets to see an advance showing of the new 3D animation Despicable Me last night. I took my 9 year-old daughter and two of her school friends and it was good fun. The 3D'ness was the best I've experienced to date but that may be just because my three companions insisted on sitting in the back row and maybe that is where you need to be to get the full effect. Also the free popcorn we found waiting on our seats with our 3D glasses was a very pleasant extra surprise but made me slightly annoyed that I'd spent around £4 on a box in the foyer (along with three ridiculously overpriced fizzy drinks) and now we were overflowing with the stuff. Thanks for the nice gesture Sky but maybe you could let us know in advance next time!
