After having a rather late night last night at the birthday celebrations – i.e. waaaay past 1am, we were all pretty much out for the count this morning.
The only thing was that Mrs DDWT was due in Morriston hospital before 11 for some routine blood tests. Conseqeuntly, she ended up going on her own whilst I stayed at home with DDWT Junior – whom was fast asleep when she left!! Anyway, it all went well and we settled down for brunch around noon.
Just for the record, Mrs DDWT weighed today – as part of her ante-natal appointment – and with her now at 16 weeks she’s 11st 11lbs. I’m not too hot with regards to pregnancy stats, so read into that what you will 
We’ve had a lazy day really – as anticipated – and hadn’t planned anything in the way of a New Years celebration anyway. In fact the only thing we had planned was some fireworks – yay!
Our local Lidl store in Pontardawe, ALWAYS seem to have a decent fireworks deal going on around the major UK holidays and this year was no exception. So we decided a few days back to get some fireworks in – some for New Years Eve and some for DDWT Junior’s birthday. For £30, we had two large 26 shot selection boxs (‘Black Nebular’ I think they were called), which included a wide variety of fireworks – including rockets.
In fairness they really were the business, especially for £15 and I don’t know who enjoyed them the most us or the neighbours peering out of their windows!
A double celebration was the order of the day today with both my Dad and Niece celebrating their birthdays – 76 and 14 respectively. This obviously meant a party much to everyone’s pleasure
As is the norm at most parties, we over-indulged (on the food I hasten to add) but had a good laugh. DDWT Junior in particular had a great time, even lending a hand in opening the presents that were being given out! Still at his age (2 weeks short of being four) I suppose it’s only natural for him to think that presents grow on trees LOL.
It was also nice to spend time together with my side of the family, just as we had done with Mrs DDWT’s family earlier this week. We even managed to watch two movies – Hoodwinked and Shrek the Third, both of which were really funny and added to the party mood.
Earlier in the day DDWT Junior and I had spent several hours outside in the garden, generally mucking around on the various outside toys and spraying each other with water pistols. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much (or got as wet) for quite some time!
As a result, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that come tomorrow – we’re all going to be completely zonked and devoid of any inclination to do anything other than loaf around in our PJ’s. What the heck though, that’s what holidays are for aren’t they.

Happy bargain hunting!
It’s been 23 years since the once famous Leeds United last came to town and it was well worth the wait with a pulsating passionate contest which the Swans convincingly won despite the narrow 3-2 scoreline – even with 10 men!
I’ll have more to say about the on/off field events tomorrow, but in the meantime I’ll happily chill out in the knowledge that we’re top of league one and 5 points clear.
In fairness they really were the business, especially for £15 and I don’t know who enjoyed them the most us or the neighbours peering out of their windows!
