But not to HESFES!
I hope all those that are making there way there/ already pitched have a good time, the weather is good, and that they BLOG THE GOSSIP!
It’s nice to now be home for the weekend. Hopefully Normal Service may resume. SB is definitely unsettled. She is much closer to tears all the time, and really doesn’t like it when we moveout of sight when she’s not expecting it. I guess this is normal, but just feel bad about it. Have done lots of reassuring that this s the change over with, and we are going to live here altogether forever.
Yesterday eve was fun, one of my colleagues – Liz – came round for a meal of chaos with her partner. She had been great when I was down here before, pregnant and friendless, and invited me to her house for a meal, even though she had only been in for a week and not used theoven previously. It seemed right to show her our version of chaos. Hopefully we didn’t put her partner off having children, as both SB and BB were still up and perky when they left. However, both behaved impeccably, and I explained that them joining us was much more civilised than trying to keep them in bed if they didn’t want to be there. We had a lovely meal and chat. Liz and I share an office – so do pass by each other a couple of times! Hopefully will become part of new circle of friends. very nice and down to earth. Thankyou hospital for running out of offices!
Unfortunately I had left for work before SB got up as she was so tired – that prob didn’t really help the settling in thing, and she was really tearful about nursery. As Chris had left BB’s milk at home, he returned after 30 mins, and she was happily settled in. He thinks its more a worry about being seperated rather than not enjoying nursery, and she has made a friend as well. I think she just does mornings, so we might shorten the day hours at nursery while Chris doesn’t have work now house not quite so disastrous. This should help.
I got home at a civilised time, and chris sprung the girls from nursery. He had had a bit of crap day, as managed to flood kitchen by echangeing the fitted non-working dishwasher that was here when we moved in with our dishwasher from Leeds, which does fit in the gap, but doesn’t look as neat [or clean!].
Fed BB whilst being in a rocket with SB, we visited most of the planets, SB was the adventurer and got out and explored while I was the rocket looker afterer [her words]. Being an inventive soul, she switched off the volcanos and cleaned the air on venus so she could explore! This led to a discussion about whether their were volcanos on any other planets, so got out various of our science space books and read them.
As a treat we had real chips from the chippy – not able to in Leeds due to the lard they were cooked in, so nice to be back to vegetable oil area! SB particularly impressed as they were chips that were so nice you didn’t need tomato ketchup!
We then had a fun evening together, cuddling tickling, playing musical statues and more rocket games. Sang to and jiggled BB, gave her rooty pooties to make her laugh. Ah, a happy mummy and her girls. We took loads of photos – as did SB. She is getting so good at using our digicamera, that we may well look for a cheap one on ebay or somesuch for her. [oh, forgot to say, the whole rocket thing has been cos they made them at nursery out of old squash bottles] We enjoyed the evening so much, that it was gone 9pm before I took SB to bed to read her stories, and then make up some about maggie and the ferocious beast. I wonder if they do story cd’s? chris was rather scary with BB. Have photos of that too! Good thing we have high ceilings.
Just chilling now before bedtime. Thinking about new computers as work doing some deal where you buy them as direct deduction from salary before tax, which may be cheaper. They are elonex ones, so getting chris to see if any good. this way costs spread out and interest free. Even saves me some tax and NI.
thought for the day: late bedtimes are not always a bad thing. Happy hesfessing to those that are – expect some blogs from the site as well.
