As social life for me for a change!!! It is something when your child is the party animal.
SB and Chris went swimming for ages today, [PE] while BB and i [well, just me then] made the lasagna for the meal tonight. She was then knackered, so some vegging in front of cbeebies was called for.
We then had a visit from those who step off the path who happened to be passing by. My house was a fair bit of a disaster zone, but they were v polite! C, M and SB got the preliminaries over with a bit of cbeebies viewing, and then hardly noticed when it was switched off. The then explored outside – mostly liberating water from the ponds to mix with the sand. [science sort of, and co-operation skills] The sand was certainly better for moulding and sandcastling afterwards. We got to have a chat, and look at piccies of new house.Doesn’t HE seem a very normal decision these days! Diversion alert: It seems odd to me that at work I am some weird hippy, and yet at home, I am pretty much a ‘square’ when it comes to life choices. i’ve decided that that must mean I am well balanced – LOL!! All were sad to split up, so a good mixing then. SB mollified with the fact that we are going there next saturday, as long as babies don’t arrive in the meantime. [must do my shopping!] [socialisation yet again]
Have now cleared out the dining room, and have my postnatal group mums coming for dinner. roast veg lasagna, salad and garlic bread, with tropical fruit salad. oh yes, plenty of alcohol. they should be here soon.
SB cavorting about with no knickers on, says she likes people looking at her bottom. I guess pole dancers earn a reasonable amount. Not sure i will necessarily be encouraging this route with autonomous learning though!
LOL Joyce on the FCUK thing though. Maybe Hannah could write to them re the distress this causes dyslexics – may get a free bag out of it!
Time to do feed for BB, and get alcohol opened.
Thought for the day: i am glad that this blog seems to be showing socialisation def not an issue of any sort! Its a shame I only started meeting up IRL with the muddlepuddlers within striking distance now I am moving though. Typical
final PS as this is getting a bad habit on blogs: meal with postnatal group v nice. even some leftovers – yummy! Another group of people I’m really going to miss.
Oh excellent – you’re going to be off the path with all in tow next Sat? Big will be thrilled if so.
It *is* a shame we’ve only just got to know you irl, but look at it this way, the girls can be penpals (that should encourage their writing
) and we’ll drop in on the way to and from Felixstowe 
I’ll be here waiting for you when you move Helen, so you won’t be all alone ;0)
Yeah, and in any case we puddlers seem to manage to see one another at various camps upwards of three times a year which is pretty good going for people so far flung!
kwym about the hippy/normal thing – just depends which social circle you are moving in how weird it all is …
I can’t believe that you are thought of as a hippy at work LOL
Yeah we should all be there Jax, should be a good day hopefully.
well karen, i don’t drive a mercedes, don’t send my children to private school, haven’t a cleaner/nanny/gardener or whatever. like camping, bf for ages, use cloth nappies, veggie, dressed by m and s rather than harvey nicks etc etc and now home edding as well. Hippy, I think so!
