Welcome to spring. Finally we have had some good weather and I've managed to have a couple of BBQs. Its hard to image that less than a month ago it was near freezing and yesterday we had 22C. The twins are doing well and we have almost managed to potty train them, just have the nappy's at night to go. They love their little Thomas tank engine toilet seat. We haven't really been up to that much since Christmas. Jo and I managed a night away in a hotel in London and also spent the day out during the school holidays. we went to Camden markets and had a meal at a pub which doesn't sound much but without the kids it was bliss. I know, we are so wild now!!! We also managed to go ... read more

Im conscious that its been a very long time since our last update. May !!! Things have been very hectic. Ive changed jobs and are now working on two areas with one based full time in the city. Im helping to develop savings for a local health service and manage a £14.8m savings plan, aswell as developing new services in the community etc. Same as previous roles. Im also consulting on the role out of new health services for a new hospital that’s being built in Kingston, South London. Its all really just project management type work. Jo is at the same job in Brixton as a Teacher. Jakob and Zoe are doing well but are entering the terrible Twos. Hard work but worth it !!. Since May we have two major purchases. We have bought ... read more

I’m conscious that its been some time since our last blog. A lot has happened since last December. We got to Poland, Sosnowiec for Christmas which was nice. It was a bit cramped in Alas and Janusz apartment with us all, but not too many arguments!!! The flight there and back was terrible. We flew Ryan air and the staff were the worse. It was very, very busy at Stanstead and took hours to check in and clear Customs. The kids cried the whole way and I think it will be some time before I fly with two young children again. The staff in Poland were a bit better, seeing the children they let us have priority boarding. No such luck with the surely UK staff who weren’t even willing to help me with the buggy ... read more

Well not much news from here. I am still unemployed, the market in London is bad and Jo goes back to work in two weeks. She has a touch base day on Friday. The twins are well. Jake has almost mastered crawling and Zoe is still saying dadada, bababa etc. We have been going to a lot more play groups and sing along sessions as well as a first birthday party, so that they can socialise more. We also went to a twins club meeting where there were only twins. I managed a short break to Austria for the weekend. For a friends 50th, near Salzburg. Lovely to be out of the city and in the country side, but I almost missed the flight due to an accident on the motor way. Flight closed at 5.55pm ... read more

Hi all. Not much has been happening here since Xmas. My Mum came over to help us out and she has now left on a trip to Burma. Im still looking for work, in a very quiet job market. I passed my exams that gave me a project management qualification and are now studing Polish every day with the hope to have a conversation soon !! Jo is well and is back in shape and enjoying motherhood. Each day we go for a long walk. The twins have grown so much that we are giving away clothes that they have out grown. They are grabbing, rolling over and I think that Zoe will soon be crawling. Jake is alittle behind , but they both smile and laugh , which is great. They are also eating 3 ... read more

With another year almost gone , its that time to wish everyone a Merry Xmas. This year our family has doubled in size and it has been a hectic 11 weeks. Things are starting to settle and the twins are begining to sleep better at night. We are no longer doing 18 feeds/changes a day. Thanks be. Zoe actually slept for 8 hrs the other night, although Jake still woke up a couple of times so maximum sleep we get is 4hrs. We are looking foward to Christmas with my Mum staying with us, and hopefully slightly warmer weather. For the past week the temperature has hardly risen above 0 and we have had plenty of snow. At the moment Jo is still on maternity leave and I am unemployed. The job market is very bad ... read more
