Well, BB and SB have been to nursery, and SB seems to like itm, though misses her old nursery.
Yesterday I think it hit her that we weren’t going back to Leeds, so she has been quite tearful about old friends, old house etc, and also guinness. Not really helped by my being at work [and at present doing a 24 hour resident shift - which I hate]. So neede lots of cuddles and attention. It also means she is in our bed.
BB has conjunctivitis badly, so has eyedrops and feels miserable. Although hard to say, I think she is missing me, and the evening and night permafeeding is getting wearing for me, and difficult for SB. So that makes 4 in a bed.
I’m also feeling homesick for Leeds, there are a few hiccups at work – primarily plans to close gynae ward and house patients on general surgical – nightmare. So straight into politics and conflict – other things that I hate! Also, just learnt today that my cousin Anne is critically ill on ITU in Hope Hospital with multiorgan failure. We can just hope. So with that, my feeling miserable at not being a home mum, missing my support system and the girls being unhappy, its really not so good chez haricot.
Chris is being a sturdy support in all this. I don’t think he felt as incorporated into the web of Leeds as I did, and being the main man, going to the local groups is making him feel part of the community more quickly. Good thing really.
I am hoping he blogs soon, as I think all my miserable blogs will be getting tedious. Hoping that when I start my 4 day week in June, thinkgs perk up.
On the positive side, I have fiddled about with my work shifts on the Kessie week, and it looks like we will be coming on the sat, I will leave tues early to go to work, and return tues night, then leave again wed night or jolly early thurs am to get to work by 8.30!! We will need to borrow a fridge for some milk if someone would be obliging though. Depending on the success of that, Chris and the girls may well then stay until friday. That seems a lot more sociable doesn’t it.
Anyway, hellos to everyone and we will try and do some home ed!! Sonlight catalogue came for me to hum and ha over, and the book people. May have to order – wait until see what is in payslip first though!
quick edit – on the laptop [which I can't gain internet access on at work] I have sorted out a couple of house and garden photos [outside] and a couple of others to be uploaded tomorrow.
It has been a bit quiet – so no doubt a horrendously busy night! Anyway, I have been going through last years digiphotos to select the ones I wanted prinitng. out of *8000* [!!!!!] I found that I wanted 750. I think a bit more pruning in order – how many photos can a decent album take?? about 400?
Oh, the Kessingland arrangement sounds great – Big will love to spend a week with SB
Sorry to hear about everything else though
(((Helen)))
Yeah, it sounds tough
Will try harder to find my Kessingland paperwork for you!
fridge space no problem – infact feel free to abuse my static status for whatever help it can give you
Really looking forward to seeing you all again at Kessingland.
And (((Helen))) for everything else.xxx
And if you want a fridge down in the tent field, I’m planning on having one by then
((((((Helen))))))) for all the settling down and getting used to everything.
And yes, looking forward to a blog from Chris!
I’ve taken 3,000 images in the last six, ahem….., weeks.
I’d highly recommend http://www.photobox.co.uk for printing digital photos. Very quick and high quality
we do use photobox actually. but I was thinking I should cut down what seemed to be an outrageous number into 1 album per year – otherwise we are going to need a photo album library as well.
Yes I know they are on the computer, but I do like something tangible as well. and then can show ESB how she grew and how BB grew etc etc.3000 is good going – but I am more of a happy snapper, so hopefully wouldn’t get to your dizzy heights!
Thanks for fridge offers. We’ll def go for the offers.
