Well after waiting 3 weeks for broadband connection to be reconnected it finally happened! Have to say that AOL were rubbish in keeping us informed and not delivering on their promises of how long it would take! So, after all that, it means that we are now looking for a new provider... any one got any good recomedations?
The good news for me is that we are deciding to go wireless this time so I'll be able to work from home and not leave bed!
Also means I can post a bit more often too!
Another reason why I haven't posted as much as I would like is that I have just moved house! What with packing, unpacking and being broadbandless (cut off from the world!) I am left to do all my mulling on the inside...
We have left Reading and moved to a place called Cheam. Not sad to leave the place but very sad to leave the people - some awesome times and some awesome friends, well worth staying in touch!
The new pad has a very funky bomb shelter basement which will be a blast for the boys in a few years time and a wildlife preserve which is the garden - some major mowing needed! It is also a lot bigger and in a lot better condition than we remembered which was a weight off the mind - its decorated in a very 1920's style but even that's growing on me - its like staying at your grandparents :)
The newest Mayers arrived at 6.25am on 7 April! Daniel's doin great, Debs is beautiful and Nathan is being almost too helpful :)
As a daddy, I am very proud of all my family and feeling rther blessed!!
Looks like early morning blogging could be back!!
Debs has set up an ebay shop, Paper Craft Party where you can browse all her top scrap booking products... Buy it nows and some auctions - check it out!
heh if I cropped this is where I'd shop :)
Inspired by the world's obsession and devotion to iPod, iBelieve is a new lanyard for your iPod shuffle...
A radio add for a prostate cancer charity "real men" campain which Rick Gervais wrote and starred in has been censored because it contains a swishy sound and anyway the contents of the add are so supposed to so likely to offend that the advert can only go out between 9pm-6am.
The add is brilliant - here it here. And I can not see how in anyway it causes offense. This is however a subject that might save men's lives including my own...
But judge for yourself and if you find it offensive in any way then let me know...
Well its still September but Deb's has released her christmas card collections avaliable to view and order online... Do check them out!
I was reflecting on the story of when Jesus healed the 10 lepers - only 1 of them came back and gave him any grattitude and thanks. Maybe there's something in that 9 out of 10 times I won't even think of offering my appreciation for someone - it is so easy for me to take people for granted, especially when they are always doing stuff so it fades into the background hum.
So I have a challenge - feel free to join in - I'm claiming 30 September as appreciation day - a chance for me to take time out to say thank you - to somehow show appreciation and thanks for friends, leaders, colleagues, random strangers, Debs even! who knows - just anyone really between now and then who I think "man, I really am taking them for granted..."
Wanna join me?
Up to you how you wanna show your thanks/appreciation - if you're the prayin kind then heh go ahead and pray for them; maybe just telling them how much what they do means to you; encourage them some how- offer to do something for them for a change. heh go with the flow!
Well the hot news is that Debs is 9 weeks pregnant so I am on course to be a dad again!!!!! Discretion has kept me silent until now as we've only told close friends and family but now we've decided to tell everyone I thought I'd post on here how excited and happy I am!
It's a tough thing on Debs so if you're the prayin kind then prayers most welcome and for me its all about raising my game and then sustaining my game as a husband - which is hard when my blindspots seem to be all the things that need doin which to debs are blindingly obvious! However, that's not an excuse so am prayin myself that God gives me those little blind spot mirror extensions and that I remember to check em... Not easy but heh that's the thing about love when it's defined as giving not getting - it never is...
So pray for me too as I often don't make it...
