I'm a backslider me ...

Growing up in the Salvation Army, you learnt a lot of strange expressions not often used anywhere else - for example if someone in the SA died they were 'promoted to glory', whereas someone who didn't follow the Army rules they had promised to follow was a 'backslider' ...

I'm a backslider with regards to the SA and it's teachings, but more to the point where Facebook is concerned, I'm a new backslider for I have signed up once more. I'm being restrictive on my friends, and have also discovered some new ones who have signed up since I quit ... But I have to admit I'm wondering if I've made the right decision in signing up once more - guess I'll just need to be careful and monitor my actions and time on it.

Anyway ... It was a bank holiday weekend this weekend, and on Saturday Mia and I decided that diets are for wusses and that we really fancied some chocolate cake - off to the local garden centre we went where Bethany worked her way through a slice of cake the size of her head.


Sunday was football day. Ipswich took on Coventry for a meaningless end of season match, but it was Roy Keane's first home match in charge - we finished with a 2-1 win and a sense of expectation for next season. Charlotte and I were going to get autographs after the match and pester the players for stuff for the upcoming school auction, but instead got talking to the reserve keeper ... Charlotte got the promise of a match shirt out of him, and then set her sights on Shumi ('The Macedonian Steven Gerrard') and got his still damp match-shirt off him! Another item for the auction, though I have taken a shine to it ...

Today we trekked over to Lakeside Shopping Centre to stock up on holiday wear (I needed shorts ...), and then I took Jackson for a run over the playing fields with the girls. Spring is definately here.
