I had to take Alex to a NAL session on Thursday, which was in a tiny meeting room that was mostly table. The little bugger was brilliant, I was hoping he'd play up so I could make a point. He spend the session mucking about under the table with everyone passing his toys back and forth ( Read more... )

The weekend was a pretty good one. Alex wasn't clingy at all, oddly after 9 days away. I have raised a very independent little boy! When Mum appeared he was straight off with her, so I caught up on the accounts from last weekend's wedding bar. We've done fairly well out of that ( Read more... )

Monday afternoon was a bit manic, with 3 mobile kids and one crawler, but it was nice to eat cake, chat and catch up while my house was turned into a bomb site. Throwing a blanket over the dining room table to make them a den helped for a while ( Read more... )

I was updating the Levisham Face book page over the weekend to advertise Diesel Gala, and apparently I'm not allowed to put 'come and see the freaks'! If you thought Steam enthusiasts were bad, you aint seen nothing ( Read more... )

The buggy walk on Thursday was quite nice, 4 of us turned up, including someone I'd not met before. It was slightly delayed by a bullock who refused to move from one of the gates we had to go through, but I got him shifted eventually ( Read more... )

I left Alex with Mum on Sunday, though this is not an entirely accurate statement as shes missed him so much that I'd have to pry him off her with a crow bar! I got quite a lot done on the chest, so the lid is ready for fabric and all its fittings are painted and ready to go back on, then I'll strip the base of the remaining bits which I haven't ( Read more... )

Its been another mad week. Monday we were out to tea, then Simon came home and we did a months worth of shopping, including the bits for feeding Simon's parents on Friday night. Alex was kept amused by being fed the box form the garlic purée, Simon is getting better with him all the time. Excluding of course last Friday night when he was trying to ( Read more... )

I was actually quite productive yesterday, I got 3 loads of washing done, so my huge hairy winter coat is now clean and packed away 'til next year, and Simon has shirts again. I also got some vacuuming done, though I can no longer get the damn thing upstairs, and I sorted out my crockery cupboards using Ikea's cheapo plate stands. Hopefully the ( Read more... )

After being far too hot and uncomfortable last night, I think I'll turn in early tonight and enjoy having the bed to myself. You know its going to be a bad night when you roll over and something goes 'crunch' in your groin. I also looked in the bathroom mirror last night and noticed I finally have stretch marks on the underside of the bump, but I ( Read more... )

I had to stop on the way home at the sorting office to collect and pay the postage on the Kilner jars lids, which I've already paid £4.50 postage on. Rude email has been sent ( Read more... )
