i'm moving!

the blog that is!! http://3weemonkeys.wordpress.com my friend mandy switched hers over and i liked the format and had been annoyed with blogger anyway! so there you go! all the old blogs are over there too. i'll not close this one though so not to lose any readers, you'll know where to go!!
its also a good change b/c at andy's school he can't get on to blogger. its one of the many banned pages, but wordpress is ok!!

we are still around

BUT our computer is down. caput, as far as we know. it won't start up, goes straight into recovery and doesn't ever do it. so i can't upload any photos from christmas and i can't do much else. i am on andy's school laptop and for once it isn't banning us from the blog or facebook. so i am in touch with reality, atleast for a bit!
we got home on the 2nd at 3:30 in the morning. we almost stopped for a coffee but decided to just get home as the boys would probably wake up if we did. and its a good thing we didn't stop as around 9:30, andy went to go and get milk and bread for breakfast and the car wouldn't start! we had problems starting it all over christmas but it would always start after a few tries. not this time! SO we have been without a car for the last week. poor andy, who would normally get a lift from katie who lives nearby and works with him, (they usually take turns) she was on a school trip for the week....so andy cycled/took the train/or on the bus all week. and it snowed on sunday night, so the snow was actually on the ground for 3 days, which never happens! also on thursday he took the train and cycled down to redditch which is 25 minute drive to be able to pick up a starting motor. so in all, he cycled over 60 miles this week!!
tomorrow our friend john is coming over to help andy to put this thing in and i'll be praying that it works!! so anyway, hopefully we'll have some photos to put up and sometime! don't know what to do about our computer... (any thoughts?)
