Sorry for the delay.....holiday booked.

First an apology for the delay in blog posts. Life has been a bit crazy lately and the blog took a back seat.
We have not forgotten about you all so here we go with an update on our little life.
Our friend has returned from working in Malaysia for two weeks so we spent some quality time with him before he had to go back over for another 3 months. One night included a lot of drink and a late night which was quickly followed by a bad hangover but was certainly worth it as we had such a good time. Sadly he is going back today so another three months without seeing him is pretty hard for both of us as he is such a huge part in both our lives.
We finally got round to paying for our holiday to Cyprus for our friends wedding which we are super excited about. With the purchase of the house holidays have been very few and far between and this will be our first holiday abroad together so we just can not wait for this to come round and watching our friends get married at the same time will be amazing.
I will try and blog from the wedding with some photos and I will try and take some video as well to upload when we are back.

As far as our YouTube channel is concerned we have put it on hold at the moment as life is taking over so we will try and keep the blog going as that is a lot easier to do but there are some videos ready to be edited that we might put up so you will finally get to see us.

That is it for now on this lazy Sunday as little one is here and he has just finished lunch and we are now off to play hide and seek for a bit.

I will try and blog everyday this week for you all with any updates that pop into my head or any pictures we take as we are determined to take more pictures for the blog.

Simple things are the best things....

Wow what an amazing weekend so far.

So I had a day off on Friday for delivery of our new bed. As soon as they had it made I jumped onto the dam thing to test it out. So so comfy and really can not wait to get I to it tonight and have a full nights sleep on it.
Franki had her hair cut yesterday. It looks amazing even if she did get a lot chopped off. She is definitely happy with it which is good.
Last night we went down to Franki's Mum and spent the evening drinking and eating takeaway. This morning we got up had a nice simple bagel breakfast with some tea and got ourselves sorted ready for a little walk into Sherborne to see what was about. We found an incredible shop called Circus where we spent ages looking round and a lot of money on some great stuff for the house. Franki came away with a huge smile on her face and some new jewellery as well so she was very happy.
Popped into a restaurant for some tapas for lunch which turned out to be so much better than I thought. I had posh ham, egg and chips and mini hamburgers with some bread and aioli which although very garlic still tasted incredible. All washed down with a half lager.
Finally got home around half three and sorted all or crap out and put the ne w stuff in the house.
My Mum bought Fynlay back to us as she wanted a night with him. We have spent the afternoon looking at and learning about dinosaur's which has even taught me some stuff.
Now all relaxing in front of the TV. I have a Gin and Tonic with Grapefruit and Franki has a beer going both looking forward to getting into the new bed later for a proper nights sleep after enjoying some amazing family time together.

As you can see simple things can be the best things some times.

What have you done so far this weekend?

Drop us both a comment below.

Why i bought a smartwatch.....

A few months ago I bought a smart watch. Yes I am super geeky and love new tech but I had a reason for this purchase.

As I drive trucks for a job picking up and replying to texts is illegal and only being able to text when I was stopped was not always working so I bought the Asus Zenwatch 2 due to the fact I could read a text coming in and then reply by speaking to the watch so never having to touch my phone at all.
So far this has worked so well and I love using my smart watch and being able to check the emails and texts that come in without picking up the phone.
Another reason I went with the Asus Zenwatch 2 is that it has a built in speaker in it which up to now has not been used but with the new Marshmallow update coming to Android Wear in the next week or so the speaker will be able to be used so now my texts and emails will be read out to me and then I voice my reply so no need to look at a screen at all now.
Simple things making my life just a little bit easier.
There is also a few new gestures as well that should make things easier to navigate the watch without even touching it.

Bring on the Marshmallow.

Just need to update my phone now to a Nexus phone and then wait for Google VR and a Google version of the new Amazon Echo.

New bed is nearly here.

Hi everyone,

Been a few days since we blogged.
With both our backs being really bad at the moment we can't wait for our new bed to arrive on Friday.
Franki is still waiting on blood test results for her back and mine seems to have good days and bad days but both still at work and working through it.
We have a really cheap bed at the moment and the mattress was super cheap to the point you can now feel the springs when you lay on it so we thought we would treat ourselves to a brand new bed a few weeks ago.
We want of the Benson's for Beds and tried out all sorts of mattresses. We were in there for a good two hours at least but both came away very pleased with our choice but gutted delivery would take so long but the day is nearly here.
I have a day off Friday to take the delivery but us being us the first night we can sleep in it we decide to go and visit Franki's Mum for the night so we won't get to test out the new bed till Saturday. Only we could do that.

In other news we have both taken some video now and some video of Fynlay but we are still thinking on the channel intro video so please be patient.
As I have another channel I wanted to make sure we did this one right so it is taking a bit of time to get things going but we are getting there.

That is it for now but we may be back later for a little blog in tattoos.

We ate snails this weekend....

So with the weekend nearly over I thought I should make a blog post as I have not done one this weekend.

So Friday night we decided to have a few drinks which was good although we did drink quite a lot so it turned into quite a late one.
Saturday was spent mostly in bed, we very rarely get any kind of lie in so we treated ourselves Saturday. We did eventually get up to get food and had a right little feast. Franki had bought some weird and wonderful stuff home from Bath including garlic snails, sushi, fancy meats and some incredible cheese. It all tasted amazing and even the snails went down well. Not what i thought they would be like at all but very tasty none the less and I will be having them again.
If you get the chance do try them.

Caught up on TV Saturday night and the today i spent all morning cleaning the house from top to bottom and editing and uploading videos on my other channel.

Now sat down after a nice big bowl of Chilli with more TV before the working week starts again.

We did film some bits and pieces this weekend but Franki is super nervous so we will be filming a bit more to get her used to it before we start uploading anything.

See you tomorrow.

How to add multiple acounts on Instagram

I have just found out you can add multiple accounts on Instagram and just flick between them rather than logging out and then back in again as the other account.

How do you do it i hear you ask?

Well head to the Instagram app, click bottom right to go to your profile. 

 Then click top right to go to all the settings etc.

Scroll down and nearly at the bottom is "add account" hit that and log into your other account and you are done. 

  

To change accounts just go to your profile and top left is a drop down menu with all your accounts in and you just pick which one you want.

I have been waiting so long for this feature and it is finally here.
