Catch up....

Again - no time for blogging.....where does it go? Sitting here thinking, I can't work out why I haven't.....I meant to blog last night but then decided to read the Mills/McCartney judgement because I am a nosey cow - and that sucked an hour of my life....

So - what have I been up to - things are ticking along here - Toby STILL isn't walking although he's taken a few steps. He's much faster on his hands and knees. And he's climbing anything and everything. Stairs are his favourite so if we go somewhere without a stairgate I'm constantly chasing him up and down.

Best thing recently? Last weekend we took a trip to Manchester to see the beautiful Zoe
and her family. I didn't realise though how far away Manchester is!! My only excuse is that I lived abroad a lot when I was younger and have never quite got my head around where major places in the UK are. I thought it was just near Birmingham. Didn't realise it was next to Liverpool! 6 hours drive! But totally worth it.

Had a lovely time - Zoe is the best hostess and her 2 boys....angels. Totally wonderful.
Here are the two littlies - Ted and Toby - new best mates.
Oscar fell in love with Alfie who is 6. Alfie was like the big brother he'll never have! They had a blast.
And the best thing? Zoe gave me a 2 minute makeover - showed me how easy it was to put a small amount of makeup on and make a huge difference to my self-esteem. I never wear makeup - but now I'm going to make an effort - make ME feel like ME again. And she gave me a whole load of tops that are too big for her - fitted tops - I tend to hide in baggy clothes....and I've been wearing them Zoe! And the makeup and have been getting some lovely flattering comments. And I'm walking a bit taller and feeling a lot better. A priceless gift from a wonderful friend. I'm so lucky.

In other news - we seem to be permanently broke - my shopping bill seems so much more expensive - petrol is insane...where does it all go? Thanks to Zoe I feel like I've got a new wardrobe now! But still....

I am fighting my craving for easter eggs. I want chocolate!!! Missed WW last week as I was at a work thing so have no idea how I'm doing....it's hard! I so want to stuff my face with crap....

Going on an Easter Egg hunt this afternoon - an NCT event - the weather looks horrendous but Oz is really looking forward to it. I'm hoping it won't last too long!

Hope you all have happy easters - eat an egg for me!
