The Happy Couple

Happy New Year!

Good news… HughBo is Engaged to Miss Ali Payne!

Ali is a primary school teacher and a bit of a loud mouth. Her friends call her ‘Tosh’ a nickname derived from an alleged likeness to DI Tosh from The Bill.

Ali's Fat Engagement Ring... donations welcome

HughBo was pretty smooth if I do say so myself… a trip to see the Lion King (borrowed some old theatre vouchers), a 3-course dinner at a classy Pizza Express (£10 off courtesy of Tesco), New Year Fireworks (free), a bit of snow (free) and an engagement ring (£10 off from a Christmas present Post Office voucher).

Just shows that I’m still a romantic at heart…. “Will you make my decade?…”

She said YES… bonus.

Wedding Pranks

The wedding season slowly draws to a close with the exception of a few late ones. So I was happy to find photographic evidence of a little wedding prank played on my housemate and ex-co-cult-leader Mark:

Just so he didn't forget which shoe was which

New Beginnings (part 2)

Dad and Kim

Suspense over – there was a part 2… maybe even a 3rd…

In May 2008, my mum passed into glory – as Paul would cry “Gain”! Family life has been a bit weird since then, home isn’t quite the same, family holidays, Christmas is all different, mum’s side of the family seems that bit more distant, and I’ve got a pretty small family as it is.

But God is the God of new life and of new beginnings. Which is why it’s a good thing that my dad is getting remarried in October, to the lovely Kim. The reality is this just makes things even weirder… you get used to one change, then you have to start getting used to another change… families are strange things aren’t they?!

But it’s good for Dad, good for Kim, good for the two families, and good for the gospel.

New Beginnings (part 1)

Mr & Mrs Davey

I say part 1… there might be a part 2, you never know… don’t let the suspense consume you!

The first new beginning is to say a wonderful congratulations to Mr & Mrs Mark Sidney Henry Davey… and his lovely new wife Helena. What a happy day, full English, nice wedding, reception with tasty food… I even ‘danced’ in the evening – aided by ‘The Twister’ and an empty wine box (not cos I drunk it, just a box!).

Of course this news comes both with joy and a heavy heart, since this day Mark has resigned his position as co-batchelor of the 80 pad, has distanced himself from the ‘Number 80 Cult’, and has vowed to “change his ways” – a sad day I think you’ll agree.

But never fear a new dawn arrives another beginning as we welcome the legend that is… Si Fi to the abode that is “80″. See his blog here.

Ps. I still maintain that all weddings are generally exactly the same. Fact.
