Evening gels,
It's Glamour Central here. I have a facepack on, with my glasses on over it, and disfiguringly swollen ankles I only got back this evening (given that I was supposed to be returning on Monday evening) and DP is still there, so therefore I can hang out looking totally grim-ola.
SO lovely to see you today, Rubes, (may I report to you all she is looking impossibly svelte and fab) - I wouldn't worry about the route to the station because when I got there, there was no lift over the bridge and no staff, and I called their helpline and they told me to get a member of the public to help me lift the buggy up all those stairs and down again, and there was only one very weedy lady there. Total nightmare! Anyway, apart from that the journey was hugely straightforward. But I feel sick and knackered - I think I have done too much over the last few days. I feel ill and tired, I can't really explain...So, have cancelled plans tomorrow and need to TRY to relax at least for an hour or two, and get rid of horrid swollen cankles.
HENNYWAY, Beans, you poor old sausage, I think bathing two at the same time sounds really hard! Jam's advice sounds v good as always. But please don't be hard on yourself. DD1 knows you love her! Everyone is just adjusting to it all at the mo - it's bound to be extra hard at first. As Rubes will testify, my DD just wants to be on my lap all the time at the mo, so I foresee big trouble ahead. And I will be asking for YOUR advice
Effie - few things terrify me, but the words Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough come pret-ty close
Kiwi - well, you know how I feel about London, BUT - St Albans is only 14 mins from Kings X on one of the fast trains, right? You could end up with the best of both worlds. I loved being in my flat this week and I would be a liar if I said I wouldn't prefer to live in London. But the compromising on space (my flat is tiny) would start to become a big issue, even for me, especially with two. Oooh, jealous of the polo, always fancied a bash at that.
Urbane - how are the kidneys?
Avo - talking of property, you mention the cost of housing in London. I honestly think my flat would go for more than in the last boom. It's absolutely crazy. So I do know what you mean.
Spot - poor, poor you with the rows. Great you got such a handsome apology, though. Do you know what - never mind what he's up to, try to be kind to yourself and rest your tired mind. You're both wondering where you're going to live, you've got the anticipation of another child - it's a tough old time. You probably both feel quite jangled. Hope things improve (bet they will).
Pingu - well, my DD is the opposite to yours as she is virtually a fruitarian!
JB - you mentioned the weather - do you not live near that large northern city beginning with M? If so, isn't it notoriously rainy, like Wales? Oh, and when's your interview?
ZJ - how is your DD now?
Trace - a big hug for you, m'dear. Don't fret about the pills. You've got plenty of time to reduce the dose, don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Hope the bits are on the mend!
Katie, if you are reading - how did you get on at the consultant today? And a metaphorical poo pie to the doctor who told you you ought to have waited until your treatment had started for your diabetes.
Right, if I leave this facepack on much longer my face is going to come off with it I know I have missed people but if I don't get into bed soon I will probably collapse.
