ok, have time to talk now. We had a good holiday. Last weekend we had no water, due to leak so water had to be shut off. Then got up on Monday morning to come out of the house and the main road was all blocked off with a police cordon, firemen and gas men everywhere due to major gas leak. Smell of Gas was unbelievable. Was finally all fixed by Friday afternoon. Luckily we were walking everywhere or using the tube so it didn't really affect us and where our flat was we didn't need to be evacuated unlike the poor people in the flats facing onto the main Bayswater Road.
It was really cold, well I thought so anyway. Had to buy a scarf and gloves set, needed them anyway for winter. dd1 also got scarf,hat and gloves but again needed them anyway so that wasn't to bad. Got home last night and have found Scotland to be warmer then and today than it was in London, lol.
But we had fun, went to The Aquarium, Hamleys, Harrods, Natural Histoy museum, Museum of London, the play park in Kensington Gardens, father in laws flat is in Notting Hill so it's right across the road. Went to see the Diana Fountain as well, it was a lot smaller than it looks on TV. Trailed all the way up Oxford street to forbidden planet to find it had moved, aagghh but found where it had moved to so that was ok. Went to Carnaby Street where I got a pair of Doc Martens, first pair in about 7 years really wanted purple ones but got black so I can wear them to work. ate out loads, dd1 had a play date with a little girl we know down there. And all in all it was a great time. Just really wish we'd bought a sling. dd2 got fed up sitting in the pram all day so liked to be taken out and carried where she could see everything, would have been much easier if we'd had a sling to put her into. Oh and of course we went to Chessington World of Adventures which was Fab, had a really good time and because one of us always had to stay with dd2 it meant that dd1 got to go on the rides twice once with dh and once with me. Dd1 loves rollercoasters so trying to decided if I'm strong enough to survive a trip with both of them to FLorida next year to go to Disneyworld.
Back to reality tomorrow though with school starting again and dd2's last Men C jab. Going to read through my GF book tomorrow to see what she suggests for weaning. When we had dd2 at the clinic getting weighed before we went away the HV asked if she was taking solids well I said no she doesn't like them so we're waiting. She seemed a bit taken aback but theres plenty of time so I'm not worried. Granny is of course still worried that I'm starving dd2 by not giving her solids yet (enter rolling eye emoticon here) believe me I had to carry her yesterday she's not wasting away to nothing.
