Well, I've finally done it. I've told my boss I'm looking at putting in my notice in the next couple of years and have enquired with the Gloucestershire Police Force about joining.

Umming and rrring at the moment as it seems to be a severe drop in pay and only to age 55 just doesn't seem too long; I thought it was to age 60.

Although I've been told the process to join can take up to a year to do. Wouldn't give me long. Could transfer the pension though or have the pension to have money come in and then another police pension - although not a long one.

We'll see though.

Jackie's also been offered a job at Windrush (one of the secure areas she works in) but still has to apply for it like every joe public. Hopefully she'll get it. She wants to settle around the Gloucester area anyway. The kids enjoy it as well.

Who knows. Fingers crossed we'll win the lottery and won't have to worry about it...... wishful thinking......

The Kids

Whilst we were at my sister's house we took the opportunity to take a photo or two. As you do. The picture below is of the 3 kids and smiling - there's always a time.........

New Edition to the Family

Well, we've been to my mother's on the weekend due to my neice's birthday party and then came back with a new edition to the family. I bet you're wondering who that can be?





I bet you think that it is a dog or some other type of animal. Well, I suppose it can be classed as an animal but you'll have to have a look at the picture to have a better understanding.





Obviously we can't release his identity as the bad guys are out there and putting that on the web is somewhere they'll look. Well, that's what Ieuan keeps telling me anyway.







As you can see from the picture below the new owner is quite pleased with the purchase and is very happy with his sister's and mum for getting it for him.




The happy owner:-
