Hello girls
Gorgeous pics, Scorpio, Mimi is SO cute and really looks like you as both my girls are the spit of their Dad. Have a good morning tomorrow, relish every minute!
Ellie, I would put in a bid for South London but we're currently thinking of moving too! Feels like such a big decision where DD1 goes to school. I don't feel ready to move out of London, but... I don't know. Maybe Brighton. Anyone know it? Am sure you would cut a dash in Cheshire, showing all those fake bakers the timeless glamour of natural beauty. That is awful about that poor boy. So amazing that you are back helping people on day 1! Have huge respect for your job.
DD2 is also going to nursery next Tues am (and from then on) mainly so I can try and get on top of the housework - we just seem to have clothes everywhere all the time! Thank god I have abandoned my eco credentials and don't have nappies to wash this time.
Denny am sure you look fab. Very brave going into changing rooms with any pre-kids mates! Good about DH realising. I think mine too is gradually cottoning on - I think it's been two separate things that I've been doing every night and also looking after them all day every day and he hasn't connected them but this morning for the FIRST TIME he thanked me for not waking him up in the night. I accepted his thanks for last night, and the 200 or so others (and that's just DD2!!).
Peachy, hope things are getting better. Can't believe Bas is standing! He's such a super-baby. DD2 is crawling now, mainly backwards but she can get pretty much everywhere she wants (after a wiggly fashion, and a few 'BUT WHY IS THE TOY GETTING FURTHER AWAY?' tantrums false starts).
TSC, holiday was in Lanzarote. It was amazing, weather was great, had a Toyota Prius and used 17 euros of petrol in 12 days! Shame that was about £15 by the end of the holiday!! Ear is fine now though hearing and balance both intermittently a bit off. Flight back didn't even hurt! How was your trip to Malaysia? Bet your flight was more fun than ours - DD2 was DETERMINED to stay awake and flirt with old ladies (arching her whole body around me in order to scan for potential targets) even though she'd been awake for 10 hours straight and couldn't keep her eyes open or uncrossed. Hence I spent most of the flight bobbing up and down in front of the delighted customers who'd paid extra for legroom seats!
Other big news is am going back to work in Jan. DH's job is looking really shaky and it just seems silly not to go back (even though I HATE it). Fingers crossed I'll get made redundant and then we can, erm, wing it. Actually feel not too bad about it as I think it's been weighing on my mind knowing it's what I really ought to do.
Have good evenings, all. Spooks then maybe a cheeky Sopranos (our newest box set addiction) for us. Fancy a glass of wine but I suspect all we've got in is the Strongbow my sister bought for last Christmas on special offer (DH has drunk 21 of 24!)
