A web site dedicated to Tom Harrington's family containing news, gossip and tales of the unexpected. Fun for all.
If everone adds a few lines of news and information - others will look at this site and it will spiral into a web log of the Harringtons!
It is so easy to add comments even I can do it.

The Eagle has landed !!
Carin had arrived back to blighty! Welcome home Carin. She landed 4 hours late last night at Heathrow and was put up in the Hilton Hotel by BA as she had missed her connecting flight to Manchester. I picked her up at midday today and delivered Carin, Erin and Culi back home to Bath Road.
The house was nice and clean - "Fantastic" where her actual words so paaa to all you worriers and trouble makers! She was missing Philip but when she saw her welcome pack of chocolates, flowers, Easter eggs, Champagne and Heinz baked beans she soon forgot about him.
She is spending 2 weeks in quarantine "just in case" but all seem well and she will make good use of this time - reading blogger she assures me!
Carin seems well after a very stressful last few days and a long journey home. Erin is becoming a little lady and Culi is no longer a baby but a little boy who gets everywhere. They both looked very sweet in their new Asian traditional clothes (present from Rizwana).
I will be looking after them so keep away from me for a few days.
I should have taken a photo to show you Shiv -
more later
PS Jack is no Saint - I would like to see what his room looked like before it was Annmaried!!

And finally to Tom Mac Finchy - re room use!
Very good Tom you are far to smart for your pants!
So lets see how smart you really are - Below are 4 questions. Answer them instantly. You can't take your time.
Answer them immediately. No pencil or paper! OK? Let's find out just how smart and clever you really are. Ready? ... GO!!!
FIRST QUESTION TOM: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?
ANSWER: If you answer that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
Come on Tom try not to screw up in the next question.
To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for
the first question. (Tom you know you took too much time.)
SECOND QUESTION TOM: If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
ANSWER: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!
THIRD QUESTION TOM: Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head
only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
Add another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.
What is the total?
ANSWER: Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day Tom.
Maybe you will get the last question right?
LAST QUESTION FINCHY: Mary's father has five daughters: Nana, Nene, Nini, Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
ANSWER: Nunu? Nana? Nene? NONO! Of course not. The fifth daughter's name is Mary. Read the question again.
Tom you ARE the WEAKEST LINK goodbye!

Sars - bad news - if my trip is off I may come and stay in the guest room at Woodhaven instead!!

Hi all
no photos yet - I have lost the power lead to my digital camera - Shiv is it in your house anywhere? It maybe at Rizwana's flat but no pictures until I get this back. If it is at yours please send it to me
Shiv you can add internet links to blogger by clicking the globe with sideways 8 under it just up on the left like this add the word click (or any word) and you have an easy to click link. Works - enter your name on the left hand part of the screen. Its a good idea to get you somet you want rather than guessing!
I have no pictures of your baby room - remember the house was too messy to do a tour with the camera!
And finally my room..... you yanks don't half go on ....So did you see the state or my old room at the Hotel after Siobhan left it? No? but I had to clean it up and put all Shivs stuff into dustbin liners. Siobhan when you come you can stay with me if I am still at Bath road and make yourself at home, living in comfort and at ease - no worrying about baby messes or tissues left about the place- what luxury.I have Joe and the dogs staying with me at the weekend - should be fun, beer and curries.

Dear Tom, Siobhan & Peanut
May I apologise profusely on behalf of Michael and myself (I seem to be making a habit of this - see previous Blog) for the bombshell bedroom we left behind. I did set my alarm for 3 am to allow me ample cleaning time however, when the alarm sounded; Michael refused to let me out of bed (no change there!) and reassured me that Siobhan wouldn’t mind, Tom enjoys tidying up AND we could blame it on the crappy cruise control.
Anyway, I’d just like to thank you all for a great holiday. I had a wonderful time despite having to sit through a whole series of The Office (thank God I escaped Dad’s Army). I look forward to re-living it when I watch the promo video. I’m sorry I forgot to wash your dress for you Siobhan, it just needs soaking in a bath tub of warm water. If you get chance, could you take a picture of you in the denim outfit? I regret not seeing you in it. Finally, please don’t dispose of the Organic Noni Juice I left in your fridge, I can’t get it in England yet and it’s very good for Michael – any chance it could be mailed? Also, If it’s not too late, could you give my Easter egg to my fellow piano student?
“Missin y’all”, Rizwana x

Hi Mum and family bloggers
We are here and too busy having a great time to spend it on blogger! It is Tuesday now at 7.30 am (or 12.30 pm for my body) So I am up early reading my emails before Rizwana and I hit the road to cruise down South for a couple of days. Shiv and Peanit are fine and her and Tom are great hosts - we have eaten and drunk and spent time lazing in the sunshine. It is nice and hot here - 70-80 but it is predicted rain will come on Thursday as Jack arrives!!
We went to the Great Falls on Sunday with T and S and then on to Carls farm for a great big pagan bonfire in the woods , and yesterday after a lazy start Rizwana and I did a cycle ride over the backward hills of Roundhill - no cars - just wild animlas to keep us company.
The boys would love it here - pictures and film to follow.
We are heading for Charlestown soon so I have to go
Lots of love
Michael and Rizwana

Siobhan,
I'm so sorry for saying you sound more like Tom (yank) and less like us, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm sure your Yorkshire accent is as broad as ever! (Atleast it will be after a visit from "more Yorkshire than Irish" Michael and his Speech Therapist girlfriend!) . Please, please let me come and visit (would chocolates and Heinz baked beans help you make your decision?). Big Love, Rizwana x
Phil, Carin, Erin & Culy
Greetings!
Just wanted to shout "HELLO" while on the blog. I'm really excited about catching up with you and the whole Mongolian thing. After intense negotiations with my bosses, I have been granted 4 weeks leave, so although I won't be able to join you sunning yourselves on a beach after the exhausting expedition, I'm quite happy to let Erin and Culy entertain me while you (plural) and Michael go on without me - well on second thoughts not Michael, wouldn't want him to play gooseberry on a romantic break! Stay well, big hugs Rizwana x

I am glad you liked them Siobhan- If you had put on blogger the latest news i.e. that you were now working from home then you would have got them a lot sooner! Keep watching the Office so we can watch the second series together! And do not let Tom watch Dads Army until he has received viewing instructions from Tom H. I am finishing work on Thursday and will see you at the Airport on Sat afternoon. I will bring my lap top and camera so we can post loads more pictures on blogger of our US invasion.
Lots of Love
Michael (Back to number uno!)

Ok shiv - just for you and Phil here are some picture of the night Victoria hit 40! There are not many pictures and none of the main event due to my batteries running out - but you said you wanted some - is this better than nothing? I do not know.
We had a good night and I have a bit on video which you can see later.
another late night
