Birthday Blues

Not my birthday - DH's in fact. The reason I am blue being that I haven't got him any pressies for tomorrow. In my defence I should say, I have been hassling him for what he wants since the New Year and I did point out that a non driving, part time working mum of a 10 month old has limited shopping time available but to no avail.

Hence his pressies to open tomorrow morning will consist of:

A framed photo of him and DD (from DD)
A box of Chocolates (from DD)
4 creme eggs (from me)

I'm lunching with a friend at the Gyle tomorrow, so if he can come up with any good ideas, I can get him something slightly more 'classy' for tomorrow evening. Tomorrow will be a rush actually - DH's mum and brother and wife are coming around for dinner. We are having spicy carrot and parsnip soup for starters (made last night and in the freezer), roast beef with all the trimmings for the main course ( yes I love my slow cooker!) and whatever looks good in M&S for dessert. I think the "trimmings" for the roast beef will also be from M&S! I am aiming for as stress free an evening as possible.

Jo Jingles went well today. The first week DD clung to me and refused to move - 2 weeks later. I am now chasing her around the room as she attacks everyone's waterbottle. She also crawls up to 'collect' the instruments with the other babies which is cute.
