Trundling along.....


is what I am doing at the moment. DD's everlasting cold of the last 6 months took a turn for the worst last week and we ended up at the doctor's again. Her chest was clear but her cough had got alot worse..luckily improving now..but now I've got it! Lost my voice in work on Thursday and Friday, much to the amusement of everyone I was working with...by the end of Friday I sounded like a very quiet version of Barry White.

Enjoying the warmer weather - I've been taking DD to the park to play on the swings and at the weekend we put up the swing that we got her for her birthday. Now she has LOVED the swings in the park and her friend's identical swing...so we put her in her new swing in the garden expecting big smiles and lots of laughs. Cue crying and mass hysterics on 3 separate occaisons. Not even the sight of her favourite bunny being pushed in the swing by Grandma made any difference.


The photo is there to prove she will....hopefully...eventually...like it.

Holidays!

Sorry for not posting in so long - busy and distracted for most of the last part of March!

On holiday at the moment which is lovely. Spent a week with my folks which was very relaxing. Mum and Dad haven't seen DD since Xmas, so they had a great time getting reacquainted. Funny to watch my Dad - was very nervous of DD as a baby but now having a whale of a time with her and she absolutely loved him. The weather was fantastic all week, probably the best week we have had in Ireland for years. Mum was very good and minded DD for us and let us get away for lunch on a couple of occaisons. Nice to have time to ourselves and talk about adult things with no interruptions.

Back home now - DD in nursery today, so trying to get a bit of tidying done around the house while I have some peace and quiet. Also got my hair cut this morning - was very sick and tired of my growing out bob, so got in in a much shorter (for me!) bob which is layered at the back. Feels very strange...much less hair than before!
