The Ectasy and the Agony

The Ectasy is easy Scotland Beat the French nuff said, I was getting very agitated at the end but we saw it through, my wife even kept bringing me Guinness to quell the mounting nerves and all was well in the end.

However about 10 secs to go my lovely wife came in and told me to "go sort out the kids" - what !! 10 seconds to go

anyway i went upstairs once the game finished (was only 10 secs after all) to find that my three year old had decided to spread out about 1000 hama beads all over the floor - guess who gets on hands and knees and to pick the bloody things up?

the interesting thing here (perhaps) is that my 7 year old daughter was in the room next door, her answer to the problem was to IM my wife in the kitchen and tell her to come and sort the problem out - she is now so used to it that using to chat to us while in the same house is coming very naturally to her, my only concern is that it's gonna make her too lazy....
