New addition to the family

So, did we have a fabulous Christmas, and did we eat and drink too much? The answer to both those questions is a BIG yes! Santa brought us lots of presents and we had a fun day.

And what did the humans get from Santa? Bev got some Winnie-the-Pooh diaries, a boxed set of CDs of love songs, a wonderful framed photograph of Frankie driving with glowing brake discs, the Shrek 3 DVD and an Art Nouveau crafting CD. Paul got an excellent book on Frankie Wainman Senior, a book on buying and selling on eBay, and the 2nd series of Life on Mars on DVD.

In addition to those presents, they received a new addition to the family from Bethany, Ashleigh and Jack - a chimp with lots of clothes and smart accessories (see photograph). He came with smart bovver-boots, boxer shorts, jeans, t-shirt, hat and scarf, plus an iPod, mobile phone and mirrored sunglasses! All he needs now is a name.

Bill and I had to interview Mr Chimp to see if he could join our family, but we weren't going to reject him - firstly because he has lots of interesting gadgets (iPod, mobile phone and sunglasses), secondly because he is wearing big bovver boots and lastly because he looks as though he could kick the crap out of us bears! Ok Mr Chimp, you can stay but you can't sleep in the bed with those boots on, and we want to play with all your cool gadgets!

If you can think of a good name for Mr Chimp, please let us know.
