On Thursday we went over to Caths in the morning, and Alex enjoyed himself on her trampoline while I caught up on the NELLI meeting I'd missed. It didn't sound very interesting! We then came home, had lunch and later on the speech therapist came over. She spent an hour playing with Alex, who had a wonderful time, and said he'd come on loads since ( Read more... )

Wednesday, after Ladybirds we had a 2 hour meeting for NELLI. The first half was trying to figure out the map, then another consultancy agency for Joseph Rowntree came to study us! It didn't seem very relevant, but I had to leave pretty soon after they started as Alex did a huge crap and I found I had no spare nappies. Always prepared ( Read more... )

The weekend was great, we got down to Aylesbury about 8ish, after a fairly dire service station lasagne, checked in to the hotel and went and found a flat southern beer. I then did some accidental Ex bashing by posting on Facebook we were in Aylesbury, where Keir lives, at a wedding of one our old friends he wasn't invited too, ooops ( Read more... )

Sunday was quite a busy day on the Booking Office, we took nearly £1,000. Booking up was not helped by the cat, who insisted on sitting on everything he could. When I finally shifted him off I found I'd missed a line, hence the books not balancing! Alex had fun with Granny again, and we got him on Mayflower and Impala, pushing up his numbers some ( Read more... )

I was glad to send Alex off to nursery on Wednesday morning, but we still managed to have an argument over lunch. After that it was off to the folk hall for a meeting with NELLI, and our newbie turned up and seemed quite interested. It just shows how addled I am by lack of sleep that I forgot to tell anyone else she was coming! Alex was OK at the ( Read more... )

When we got back on Sunday evening I found the fruit bowl full of water, and it quickly became clear that this was due to a leak from the boiler, as the kitchen wall was soaking wet too and the wood work was peeling. Joy. Simon rang the plumber, and carefully organised for him to come over in the morning, despite my saying I'd be in all afternoon. ( Read more... )

On Thursday we took Alex and Amelia to Wacky Warehouse. He loved it, but it was a little grubby for my taste, and I lost one of my earrings! Still, for £2 I suppose you can't really complain ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Alex trotted into nursery quite happily and settled in fine. I did decide to see if he would walk home, but when I got there he'd just been thumped by another child and was in no mood to walk, so I had to carry him. Lucky its not far, because he is getting damn heavy ( Read more... )

We had a thrilling trip round Sainsbury's on Tuesday morning. However, Alex was brilliant. He walked half of it without grabbing lot of stuff and did as he was told, he didn't hit anyone with the spatula we bought, but we did accidentally shop lift a bag of oats as he was using it as a pillow! We didn't have a great turn out at Earwigs, 4 ( Read more... )
