Morning all and a happy new year, been a while since I blogged! It has been seriously busy with work and all things CAFC, I am in the middle of a nightmare weekend, spent all day yesterday at Colchester Utd, left at 9am got home from the game at 10pm, it took two hours to upload photos and stories to the club website, so got home last night knackered, today its a rehearsal at 1 followed by Charlton Live at 7-9pm, tomorrow we have a press conference at the Valley with the old and new chairman and then the game at 5 so its another busy day.

Young Finch is at his mothers, and seems very content with his Xmas present from dad, I thought a Blackberry would go down a treat and it has. It dawned on him at just after midnight on New Year that he is off on his jamboree trip this year, talk about excited, but in fairness he has worked incredibly hard to raise the cash, so he deserves it. He continues to do extremely well at school, topping the class in triple science amd geography and is on target to get himself to uni, he is fiercely determined to achieve this.

Xmas day was lovely, had a quiet one at home with no guests, just us and Tiberius the Turkey, I managed to go the whole festive period in a reasonably sober state, partly due to a particularly bad case of Man Flu the week before, which really knocked me for 6.

The new year promises lots of hard work and some adventures, planning a sailing trip in April, a holiday with the the other half in the summer.

The end of the last year was tinged with sadness, we discovered she who must shop was pregnant only to lose the baby at 11 weeks just before the first scan, a very tough time, only told a few people at the time, it was devastating for us both, but Drs say everything is fine and we can try again, which we will do.
Right thats it, Happy New Year to you all.
