Family Up-Date - number 1

Ian jnr is still off school with suspected Labyrinthitis, he hasn't been at school for over 3 weeks and isn't feeling any better than he did at the beginning. He will have to go back to school on Monday but how he will manage to concentrate when he is so dizzy, feeling sick and lethargic is a worry. He can't afford to miss any more school with this being his last year in Primary; he is aiming to gain level E in Maths and English before Secondary.

Kirsty is a picture of health and quickly recovered from her throat infection. She is so excited about school tomorrow - non uniform day and is out with her dad just now to buy pink hairspray for funky punky hair!

Dad Ian is off to Manchester tomorrow to a company award ceremony. Mum is being boring and doing nothing. (just the usual working all day and running about like a maddie afterwards).

Rotten weather as usual, will the winter never end!!

Emergency Ward 10

Ian and Kirsty are both off school with flu symptoms, they are huddled up on a settee each under their duvets watching TV. Granny has been Florence Nightingale whilst I have been at work, quite a handful with two but luckily they haven't the strength to do their usual - fighting with each other.

The weather has taken another turn for the worse with a fresh fall of snow. Our house is freezing as the boiler has gone on the blink!! Dad was in our house from 7.30am (he has now escaped to meet Mum at the shops) waiting on the Gas Man who by 4.30pm has not made an appearance, apparently he will arrive anytime up to 6pm. If the GM can't fix the boiler tonight we will all have to stay at mum and dad's don't think we can suffer another night with no heating at all or hot water for a shower - cold shower - Brrrr!

Hi Ian Jnr here! Just a quick catch up on what is going on. Firstly, my Granny and Grampa are up from Garelochead. They are here for dinner and my Mum is making some nice homemade lasagne for dinner. Then I have a guitar exam in about a month so I have to practice hard(ish)!

Also I had a great Xmas and got things like an Ipod Touch, a DS game called Professor Layton and lots of movies like the Lord of the Rings. Hope to see you soon! This news flash was written by Ian Jnr.

Ian's 11 Birthday!

Hello Ian Jnr here. I had a great birthday treat as I got to go to Edinburgh and explore. We planned to go to Dynamic Earth first so that we would have time to do other things. Sadly since we never really go to Edinburgh, we got kinda lost. Luckly my dad went to talk to a traffic warden who was very nice and told us the way! We eventuly got there and had a lovely lunch. I had a full on Xmas Dinner while everyone else went for something reasonable for lunch. We enjoyed a great day there! This was written by Ian Jnr

Hi, Ian Jnr here! This week I went on a trip to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. It was really good as we got to see things like deforestation and other things like this.

PREZZIES!!

Hi Kirsty again! I had a lot of presents and some that I got from Santa are, an apollo 24 pink bike, a perfume labotary and Caspers Scare school for DS! I enjoyed Christmas and all the nice food!

Hello Kirsty here. What have you been up to? Next week I am doing the apparatus in PE which we hardly ever get to do! This Saturday I am going to a party at Xscape to do bowling. Me and Mum were going to see Where The Wild Things Are but we didn't have time. For Xmas I got a fab bike. This picture has a bear that I had last year and his name was Max. Isn't he cute? For New Year I went to my cousin and had a great time! This News Flash was written by Kirsty! xxxxxxooo
