well, that was easy! He´s already out for the count on the sofa! Can´t be long, really need to do a second coat of varnish on the tables I started days ago.. started with great intentions but never seem to find time to finish off. If I don´t get to it first thing it´s too hot to be on the terrace and the varnish would probably set as soon as I put it on the brush!
July is a crazy month for birthdays for me too. I have - dh, SIL and nephew, my mum, 3 friends! Aaargh! Speaking of spooky coincidences, N was born on the same day, 1 year after his cousin, my SILs first baby (and he was 2 months premature).
Well N had a great day yesterday, went to SILs house (she has the loveliest house with a pool and great views ) for a swim and Noah loved it! We dipped his toes in the public pool the other day but it was a bit minging so didn´t really want to push our luck. But SILs pool is obviously really crystal clear with the few people that use it.. he was a good 5-10mins and up to his chest! Seemed to like it and completely flaked out afterwards. I´ve got to be better about taking him to see them, they all dote on him so much and I´m a great fan of going places where people will take him off me for a few minutes! (bad mummy?) But yes, next time better take cossie and not bikini.. just grabbed what was to hand but was not best advised given that I had a 2 year old and a 4 year old throwing themselves from the side on to me!
In other news, I´ve been making enquiries here and there about nappy selling. Not sure if it will come to anything so I´ve not mentioned it to anyone in RL yet but it´s given me a good wee project to get stuck into. Went to an advisory centre yesterday for tax advice etc. It´s so mind boggling! Luckily I´m already self employed so that´s a heap of paperwork I don´t need to do but it took about 45 mins for me to understand the tax implications, although to be fair to me she was not explaining it very clearly at all... and I have the crossed out and redone calculations on a scrap of paper (hers) to prove it.. Can you believe nappies are subject to 0% vat in uk and 20% here??! Apparently they are not ´primary necessity´!!! Really??
