Very Small Feet

I loved how every weekday we got up and went to school. How well Edgar walks, how fast, how enthusiastic he is... and how I would leave him there for couple of hours and be just by my self. And then I get best cuddles!  All is well... but on Saturday morning he spiked a fever and was really cuddly and sad. Not my usual happy bouncy boy.  Calpol, milk and cuddles ...  And then it lasted for 3 days! Took him to doctors, all is good just infection. So more calpol.  And no school...  Every time I think right tomorrow he would go to school, he starts coughing so bad that I realise he would scare everyone there. So he was off school all week long.  And what a long week it was.  On Monday we were meant to travel and stay over night in Bristol so see Bush. Last time we saw Bush it was 5 years ago...  I couldn’t dump him on my mother in law same as I couldn’t tell husband not to go. I am not that kind of person. He had a great time, and he touched Gav. So ...

I am a coffee drinker. A while back I started using a French press for my coffee so I will not drink coffee all day long.  Cleaning French press is annoying. And seems like a lot of waste. Can you repurpose the grains?  Or better yet what do you do when you buy truly awful coffee and can't drink it?  I made a body scrub!  And it was easy!  I used just three ingredients but you can use more.  I used coffee that to horrid to drink, but next time will use the used coffee, sugar and coconut oil. The latter you might think is expensive but I got my organic from home bargains for like £2.50 for a big jar!  I combined coffee and sugar in the bowl melted the coconut oil in the microwave and poured into the bowl with dry ingredients. Looked for the scrub like texture.  It will solidify after a while but I just place the jar into the shower with me to soften the scrub before using.  The caffeine supposed to be good for skin, coconut oil leaves the skin...

I had this perfume for about 3 years and finally finished it. Somehow it feels satisfying.. and it smelled so lovely. I just love the fruitiness of Escada's sents. I pretty much alsways used to wear makeup to work or/and to study. It was part of my routine. Get up, shower, dress, do the face.  Not like foundation and stuff I have no clue about things like that but a bit of eye shadow, or eyeliner yeah. I would feel naked without.  But then I had Egg and everything changed. No no I didn't skip shower for weeks. That remained the same. I just started doing things with audience. And still do. We shower in the mornings together. I actually recently while my mother was here so I tired to have shower by my self only to have a toddler running in after couple of minutes and getting naked with a speed of light and jumping in next to me...  However something else I became sort of a slob... more like a lazy person and who doesn't really care.  Well I never been much for mani, h...

Last two weeks were busy. As you know Egg started preschool and my mother came to visit.  And of course nothing is easy with us... she was meant to get here on Wednesday so I got the phone all at 4am Wednesday morning asking how far was Gatwick from Cardiff. Yes at 4am. And yes this sort of question.  Turns out her plane was delayed by 10hours...  And when she got here on Thursday she didn't ring to say what time she would arrive to Cardiff. Damn I was worried. Even called my step dad but reassured me saying it's probably her phone... and you know it was.  We had lots of fun! We went to street food festival, Egg wasn't a fan at 1st but did enjoy playing with all the fun tuktuks  It's a great place to take your family and friends and even grouchy kiddies. Even in the rain. It is still here for his weekend so if you haven't been go eat something fun and sit in a cool disused transport. We been to the pool twice, drunk beer, shopped pretty much till we dropped and ...

I might have been a bit quiet lately. Not only because my mother is visiting at the moment but also because my little munchkin started pre-school.  And we survived... just about. I just still cannot quiet believe that he is already starting school, he is actually one of the youngest kids there. But not the smallest!  We started two days with half of our class for two days and then from this Wednesday with all the kids.  Well Egg being Egg was ever so upset for three days and now he goes in and seems happy.   On the day one school had to call me to say that the child settled and now playing outside. But he was still looking for the way out of the school. Actually made them get another gate for the door to the "big" school. And this Friday when I dropped him off he still didn't want to wear shoes but he walked in and let go of my hand. And when we came back to pick him up he was sitting munching on the pineapple and wasn't interested in leaving.  But the school of...

About a year ago my mother in law got us tickets to see Gruffalo on stage in New Theatre in the end of summer. We pretty much been waiting for this for about a year. Well I was. All the recent cinema visits were disastrous when we had to leave after about 20 mins of the start of the film. I was very worried.  Also the pushy box office lady sold us tickets right in the front and in the middle... this didn't help my anxiety about out first theatrical visit. Also my little cutie pie was a really difficult all week... maybe he is that threenager stage when it's only his way or no other way. But he doesn't talk so this resolves in massive tantrums.  When I saw the flocks of children all different ages I have relaxed. My demon baby won't cry first.  But he had a major melt down when his pram been folded and taken away.  Then he didn't want to take his sit. But followed me anyway. Note to all the parents bring snacks, sweets and raisins kept him busy while he was trying to...
