Day 300 – Wednesday 22nd February 2006
kp was full of aches and pains this morning, with her back especially giving her gip.
I went to pick Marie, Adele, Abbie and Louisa up in Durham for their stayover. We had a really good afternoon. Louisa (2) seems to be particulary keen on men, and within 30 minutes of arriving, she seemed glued to me. I loved it ! 
Here are Abbie and Louisa on one of our chairs moments after they arrived.
Louisa then came in the computer room and sat on my lap as I typed emails. Here she is with my glasses on.
When it came to going out, she wanted me to get her ready, put her trousers and top on, change her shoes etc…. NO PROBLEM !!!
Louisa :- David, wee weee………… (she wanted me to take her to the loo)
YIKES !!!!!!!!!! EMERGENCY ESCAPE BUTTON NEEDED !!!!
I don’t do Nappies, Pull-up pants and trips to the loo. I must get a sign saying this at the threshold to our house. Will all visitors to Chez Pollard please note this for future.
We went out to the local fun factory place and the kids ran themselves ragged.
£2 for as long as they wanted and Louisa went free. MONEY WELL SPENT. The only problem is you have to stay on the premises, so we couldn’t collect them tomorrow.
An extra 50p each for face painting…..
Abbie is a butterfly, and Louisa is a princess in case it wasn’t obvious.
Karen and I have really enjoyed their company and had lots of good laughs. It’s 9.30pm and the kids are still wide awake. When I was a lad, I had to be in bed by 6pm, those were the days !
That’s it for today.

Hi Karen,
don’t forget the physio tip regarding forefinger to nose, to help your posture. If your posture isn’t right you will get pains in your back and thats from someone who knows about such things – ME.
Dp your description and pictures total up to a lovely looking day. And yes I agree with you, when I was a wee bairn at their age, I too was tucked up in bed much earlier. Then again let you and Karen enjoy.
Just to let you both know I’m late back from work, but that does’nt mean that I’m not thinking about you both. Your blogs are just as important to me as they have always been.
Take care you two, hope your toilet duties with the kids don’t stretch to during the night!!If needed Dp you can do pants etc
Great pictures!!! Can I just say, from a cury haired persons perspective, Louisa looks like she’s going to loose them soon. Sorry to those that want her to have them, but I know how much of a bitch curls can be in your life, e.g no man has ever run his hands through my hair, because he always got his fingures tied in my hair knots.
See you both soon, and yes Karen as usual you are right about me being at yours for soo long during my next visit – so lets discuss.
Kp & Dp the blog is, as always, my major touch point with you both, thank you
Take care
Lots of Love

Dp.
I just realised that this is day 300, so here is a BIG THANK YOU from all bloggers for keeping us in touch with yourself and Kp.
Dp,
I guess that you have no understanding about what you have done with this site.
As a result, I knew that I could send messages to Karen and that although I wasn’t there by her bed side everyday, you would read my messages to her. For that I will never be able to thank you enough! I am forever in your debt, thank you
Lots of love
Ronnie
