Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone.

Today we got to go to work in fancy dress, I am just a big kid at heart so I loved it. Of course people expected me to go as a Vampire but I don't like to be too predictable. A lot of people thought it incredible that I drove to work like this but hey, thats all part of the fun.

No trick or treaters this year which is pants but it means we can scoff all the sweets. Hope you are all having fun today.

We Are The Champions

So those of you that are regular visitors to my little blog will know today was a very important day. The last day of the 2007 Formula 1 season & what a day.

I am a passionate Ferrari fan so I desperately wanted Kimi to win the title, however I am not an idiot & so believed we could win the race but suspected that Alonso & Hamilton would be in the top 5 giving one of them the title, most probably Hamilton. How bloody wrong I was, it was a fantastic race & Kimi Raikkonen is now the Formula 1 World Champion of 2007!!

For the last few laps I was on the edge of my seat praying that Heidfeld & Kubica would not take each other off (which was looking very likely) as this would elevate Hamilton to a position where he would gain enough ponits to take the title. Thankfully they stayed on the track, Kimi won the race, Massa was 2nd in the other Ferrari & so Kimi won the title. My nerves were in tatters by the end of the race.

So it's now over for another 5 months, roll on 2008 & lets hope Kimi can do it all over again next year.

For the Lewis Hamilton fans out there, your day will come but until it does...WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!

Saturday 20 October 2007

Its been nearly a month since my last update, there just never seems to be enough hours in the day at the moment.

Today we went to visit my mum, it was great seeing Jack with his other nanny as we don't get to see her that often. My mum absolutely adores all 3 of her grandsons & to see her happy getting to play with Jack is brilliant. Mind you, we went round the town to do a bit of shopping & loughborough is absolute pants now. Its all bloody mobile phone stores, charity shops & chain stores. It used to be a great little town with loads of independant stores that all sold different stuff & now there are so many shops standing empty & what is there isn't worth bothering with. I'm glad I moved away ( I know coventry isn't amazing but its a hell of a lot better than loughborough now ).

Not a lot else has happened over the last few weeks, I have been off work ill for the past week, I have been feeling lousy with headaches, sore throat, chesty cough, & other aches & pains. Turns out I have a chest infection, a few people at work have had the same & its not nice. Jack has also got a chest infection so while i've been off I have been looking after him rather than him going to nanny & grandads, although I'd rather neither of us were ill I have enjoyed spending time with my son. I hate having to go back to work now because I have enjoyed it so much, so if anyone out there knows of anyone that wants to employ me to work at home feel free to tell me!!! Alternatively if any of you feel like paying my bills so I can stay at home with Jack I would have no hesitation accepting your charity!!

Right gotta go, I need to watch the qualifying for tomorrow's brazzilian grand prix. In case any of you have been living in a cave for the last few weeks tomorrow is the final race in this years formula one season & we have no less than 3 drivers who could win the title, Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari), Fernando Alonso (McLaren but not for long I don't think) & Lewis Hamilton (McLaren). Lewis is in his rookie season & could be the first rookie to win the title since the start of the championship back in the 50's, Alonso is only 4 points behind so could quite easily spoil the party to join the elite group of drivers who have won 3 consecutive championships. I personally would like Kimi to win it for Ferrari but then I am biased & I don't care....GO KIMI!

I hope you are all having a good weekend, take care... VampJack x
