Hi quiche, wow I'm a whole 2 threads behind. Have read back a few pages but don't think I can catch up completely. Just wanted to check in though as I do try and keep up even when I can't post. I often write posts and then press Cancel as I get quite anxious about it. Silly really. Kyz your description of yourself as a puddle of a person, pretending to be real really got to me, I can relate to that completely. I have actually said almost those words to DH. Well done on the driving though. It's one thing I do enjoy and it is such a freeing feeling to know you can get in a car and go. Keep doing it regularly in short bursts and your confidence will increase.
Eliza I am really pleased to hear about E putting on weight and love the image of her with the corn on the cob! Glad you had a good holiday.
VQ we just got back from 5 days away at a Haven place and I did brave the swimming pool - I was sitting it out while DH played but when I saw how much L was enjoying it I suddenly wanted to join in which outweighed the embarrassment! I wanted to take L swimming before but hadn't done because of the arse factor.
We had a brilliant holiday actually, our first just the three of us (as opposed to visiting ILs). I thought the camp & caravan might be a bit grotty/ noisy but it was clean and looked-after, with a friendly atmosphere. We had great weather so had days at the beach and visited a fantastic animal/fun park. It was super cheap being weekdays during term time and everywhere was relatively quiet and uncrowded. (Apologies to those of you with school age children!)
