I’m soo excited about my new fridge. We have a teeny tiny one, I posted about it here. I’m really look­ing for­ward to hav­ing a fridge that’s a decent size. The sewing machine I’m hop­ing to make loads of things. I bought a book on mak­ing hand­bags. I might even sell some of them if they’re nice enough!!





Innagural meeting of the…

Last Fri­day of the Month Club (LFoMC)

Last night a few of us Mums got together for some heavy boozing…eer I mean drinks. We’ve decided to meet once a month with­out babies and hub­bies on the last Fri­day of the month. It was a very good night. V and I shared 2 bot­tles of wine– sounds bet­ter than say­ing we drank a bot­tle each!! There was loads of bitch­ing about stuck-up cliquey mum­mies, lack of sex, work vs SAH and much MUCH more. Before you could say YES I’LL HAVE ANOTHER DRINK it was 11:30 and we were feel­ing happy. I’m look­ing for­ward to the next LFoMC!!

We unfor­tu­nately said good­bye to A who is mov­ing to Yeovil w/ her hus­band and daugh­ter L. She began to attend the Fri­day baby group a few months ago and we will really miss her. Her daugh­ter L is just old enough to play w/ Squidge with­out being too rough with her. It makes for a nice relax­ing baby group for me. Squidge is a lit­tle young to be w/ the toddlers/walkers but too old for the babies/non-creeper/crawlers so L (along w/ B’s daugh­ter C) has been a god­send. I do wish her the very best of luck on her move.

Giving

Posted on April 27, 2007

Wednes­day we went to the blood cen­tre to donate blood. This, I’m ashamed to admit, was my first time donat­ing. Squidge was a big hit there! While I was giv­ing blood Wal­ly­woo was sup­posed to be watch­ing her. Well once the nurses got a hold of her they weren’t giv­ing her back!! So he made out pretty well. The nurses took his child and would occa­sion­ally check on him to see if he was alright, did he need more tea? Cook­ies?? I had filled out the forms, donated about a pint of blood, had my juice and cook­ies and off we went. I had pretty nor­mal day, I didn’t feel faint and all was well.

I’m try­ing to teach myself how to knit and it is NOT going well. On Wednes­day nights there is a knit­ting cir­cle at the hab­er­dash­ery here so I thought I would go and get some tips/help. All was well, the woman was try­ing to show me how to knit. I sud­denly became very hot and a bit dizzy. So I sat down. Next thing I know I’ve bro­ken out in a cold sweat and feel like I’m going to seri­ously faint. I call Wal­ly­woo to come pick me up and I leave the shop. I was sooo embar­rassed. I had never been to a knit­ting cir­cle and the first time I go I FAINT!! Who the hell faints! I was a bit sur­prised that giv­ing blood would knock on my ass!! I gave blood at 11 am and I didn’t start to feel faint until 7:30!! I got home and ate some­thing and felt a lit­tle bet­ter. I kept ask­ing him if he was cold and he wasn’t. Wal­ly­woo said I was ice cold and I was!! I was in bed by 9pm and slept until 8 the next morn­ing. I felt much better.
