Jacob's Birthday
It's Jacob's birthday today 
- he's 8 - WOW - where did those years go!! He's busy playing in his room with the Playmobile Pirate Gallion that we got him, but sadly...we bought it in advance on e-bay at Christmas (sold as complete and in good condition), but when we came to assemble it last night we found that lots of essential bits were missing and many more broken. 
I did ask P. to check it out when it first arrived - I didn't realise he hadn't been as thorough in his checking as I would have been!! Jake fortunatly doesn't seem too bothered, but we have explained he will get the 'real' thing and I've ordered him one - NEW this time!! Meanwhile he's happy to play with the 'ship-wreck' and we will sell it on as 'spares' to try and recoop some of the money (sigh)
My Mum bought him a guitar (not toy) so now I have to teach him!! And P's Mum bought him a watch - he was SO chuffed with that one!! Only thing left to get is the all desired 'flashing street scooter' - hoping he gets a bit of cash to pay for that one!
I'll post pic's later :)
