Weekender

The changing room was filled with laughter as usual yesterday, only this time it was at my expense!. Having let my wife loose on the blog, and her subsequent posting of a few old school ( literally ) pictures it was only a matter of time before they filtered into the changing room - and yes, it was time yesterday to face the music. A picture of a young CH at school with a rascal jumper on and another with a Rick Astley hairdo and a Simon Cowell waistline definitely kept the boys amused pre match.
Feel free to laugh out loud as they will stay posted for another 24 hours.

A good result yesterday in the Trophy means that we are in the last 16 of the
competition with our eyes now firmly set on Wembley. As it stands at the moment the club are competing in three competitions which is great. Financially the more games and gate receipts the better. Obviously for the supporters it becomes expensive so to all those who cheer us on a big thank you.

We went to our friends last night for dinner and what a night it was. Currently at 1-1 in the 'celebrity chef recipe cook offs' we were treated to a feast. The pressure was starting to build for us (Fiona) to top the meal put before us, the starter and main course were of epic standard.
Only when I noticed my wife's clenched fists under the table and her sympathetic words (hidden delight) did I realise that the Gordon Ramsey dessert had under performed/whisked. Why does everything have to be a competition ? I don't know but after we next invite our friends over for dinner/victory the next meal we have together will be either be cooked by the men or brought to the table in bags- I think Indian would be nice !!!!!.

Back to last nights late night entertainment, the work out session laid on by the birthday boy in the garden was second to none!. Happy Birthday Jason and great Birthday suit !!!!.

Breaking news! my boy Cam was playing at Liverpool' academy today and he scored against the mighty reds. A belter in the bottom corner will make the return to school tomorrow all the more bearable, especially when he demonstrates the finish to his mates!

Finally, thanks to my bro Mark who came down this weekend to watch the game with his son Harvey. Good banter, good chats and unexpected baby sitting duties meant for a top time.
