today reminded me why i never go anymore.
if i could magic myself into the pool and then magic myself back out dry, fully clothed then i'd probably go every day. BUT i usually let dh do the honours while i stay home with dd2 reading papers in bed. However someone lent me a baby float-thing and i thought it might be nice for us to take both kids - WRRRRRRRONGGGGG!
firstly couldn't find a cozzy or tankini post-dd2 that didn't a)make my back boobs spill out b) roll under my stomach/c-section scar, so i had to wear my maternity swimsuit which is so distinctive it might as well have NOT PREGNANT JUST FAT printed on it
was charged £9 for 2 adults, a 4yo and a baby 
dh (who goes every week with dd1) took dd1 into the men's and i took dd2 into the women's. as stated previously, it is dd2's first time and once in the pool, is NOT impressed. no crying but a distinctly po-faced expression on her face throughout, as if to say 'I can't believe you think is an acceptable way to spend a sunday morning'
THEN we all get out and i go back into women's changing room with dd2, only to realise that i have left the talcum powder on the kitchen table, so getting dd2 dry takes an AGE and to top it off, and most mortifying of all, i have left my bra and knickers in dh's bag (i went in my cozzy under my clothes). I can't leave dd2 unattended and of course, being a man, he does not think of anything sensible like sending dd1 into the women's changing room with my underwear. SOOOOOOOOO i have to put my jeans on without any pants, AND wear a flimsy summer top with no bra and 40DD norks flapping and a-swinging. may as well have tucked them into the top of my jeans.
absolutely disgusting way to spend a few hours. WILL NOT be going again any time soon.
