... is there such a thing?
Was off work today, had agreed to meet some workmates for lunch and take my DD to see them. So, being such a nice day, I thought I would get the bus rather than take the car. That was mistake one.
Offs I trundle to the bus stop, 7 month old DD in her pram. I left myself a good hour from leaving the house to meeting my friends, as it's only a 10 minute bus ride. Gets to the bus stop at 11:30 thinking I have plenty of time. Mistake two.
First bus turns up, the buggy area full. Fair enough, decide to wait for the next one. Next bus turns up, two buggies already on the bus (area can usually take three prams). So I get on the bus, try to slot my pram in the space. Wont fit. Next pram across was a big silver cross thingy with a teeny baby inside. Next to that was a quick folding buggy with a two / three year old inside.
As I cannot get my pram into the space, the bus driver tells me I shall either have to put the pram down, or get off the bus. Now, folding my pram down and putting it up is a two handed operation, which leaves me no hands to hold dd.
I ended up getting off the bus but was really peeved when the owner of the older childs buggy smirked at me as I got off!
If the situation had been reversed, I would have sat older child on my knee and folded down my pram. Would that mean I had common sense or "mug" written on my head?!
Then had to wait for next bus and endure somebody else getting on with me and moaning about what had happened all the way to town.
Eurgh, far too hot!!
