Yes we're moving again today, not in our house just yet, but hopefully soon. So in the meantime we're moving to some friends in Moseley. We're feeling a little jaded and tired this morning, as we were moving things last night, and then the small things this morning - like toothbrush, hair dryer - the all essentials!
Lucy was a little unsure this morning, not really wanting to go the childminders, which is very unusual for her, and also asking "where's ann?"..."I didn't get to see her"
But I'm sure she'll be fine once she gets playing/painting or something else that's fun.
So a big thank to Ann for having us stay for a little while, it's been wonderful, we've all loved it, especially the Godfrey, the Bill Johnson, the inevitable spilling of something (always bound to be one of us!), the sprinkler, the paddling pool, the raspberry picking, the many laughs and of course the Ann Wolf. But don't worry we'll come round looking for the gnomes! So just as a reminder here are a few pictures.
Saturday turned out to be a bit of a full-on day. The skip arrived at about 9am and we set to work to clear the rubbish and rubble in the garden - and wow what a difference. We now have a patio that you can see. Previously you could step out of the back door and walk down the rubbish into the garden - now there's about a 4ft drop to the patio - we worked hard, actually Gary worked very hard and a friend James came to help.
They then spent the afternoon clearing the garden while I went to a 1st birthday party (me and Lucy). Lucy had a great morning with her good friend Nikki and of course not forgetting Charlie the dog. Lucy managed to accumulate a little till...for practising her shopping (very important)... and some caterpillar slippers!
Tomorrow we're moving to some other friends, hopefully only for a couple of weeks and then we can move into our house. The builder is doing a great job, the plastering is nearly all finished bar a couple of rooms, and the worktops for the kitchen arrive today so they'll be cracking on with that no doubt. That just leaves a lot of painting, so if youÂ’re a dab-hand with a brush and you're free.....
When did you last do something for the firstime?
Having Lucy means this happens quite a lot! in the past week the list has been numerous. Firstly we're out of nappies - horrah! Secondly we went to London to visit Gary's nan who is poorly in hospital, Lucy's hasn't been into hospital to visit anyone yet. We managed to keep her from pulling various wires and drips out, but as usual she manages to make quite a few people smile.
So for the first time she went on a London tube 'Very exciting', then on a London bus, which we tried to teach her to say in her best luunnduun accent. After all the days activities we went to visit some v good and lovely friends in West London - Pete & Suzie Leveson.
Another first for Lucy was telling us she wanted to do a pooh - at least she told us in time, we were in the middle of a park so I managed to find some trees - kind of discrete. At least it was discrete until Lucy had finished and came running out shouting....'"Daddy, I've done a pooh, I've done a pooh Daddy"!! There's always a first!
I finally had my first facial on Wednesday, thanks to a very nice gift for my birhday. It's taken me a long time to have one, but it was great - i would highly recommend it, felt very refreshed and relaxed. I now have a few freebies to try...mmm.
hey peeps,
Well this could the first of many or the first of not so many - we'll see how it goes. Always start with best intentions but .....life kind of happens.... we'll see.
Today is last the working day for me for about two weeks. Am going to be off visiting lovely friends and family next week, spending time with loopy lou, then maybe doing a girlie pamper for a bit before i come back to the dizzy heights of Network House.
So until my next one, take care
