Elliot has his first training toothbrush, it's purple with silver sparkly bits!

We spent the day with my two nieces, Holly and Jasmine, making a mess in the house and garden. They went straight home to bed at 7pm, and now I've had a rest I should clear up a bit.

Elliot had his Hib booster injection this afternoon which protects against one of the forms of meningitis. I'm awful around needles so usually I have to get one of the receptionists to hold him, rather than risk dropping him if I pass out ( Read more... )

I managed to bang my head on the luggage compartment of a bus on Wednesday and I've still got a dull headache like it just happened. That was a bit of a bad day. I took Elliot for some professional photos, after the sitting they showed me them on the computer and none of them were any good. It was a bit disappointing since the ones he had done 3 ( Read more... )

Elliot slept through all last night, slept in our bed from 6am till 8am, then back in his own cot. I went to have a look at 12.00 because I was beginning to worry only to find him asleep face down with both his legs sticking through the bars.

I gave him some lunch and he fell asleep again for another 2 hours. He must be saving up energy for

I just got a voicemail inviting me for an interview at the local solicitors office in St Neots. It's for a full-time secretary, which isn't exactly what I want to do, and the pay was a bit crap, but it's nice to know I could possibly get the job!

I've spent a lot of the week a bit fed up and exhausted. We got back from visiting Marianne and Liam in Sweden on Monday night. It was well worth the short trip because seeing them was wonderful, very relaxing and Elliot loved it. I hope we can go back over again soon, being back at home seems a bit lonely now ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had an appointment at the St Neots Job Centre to see if there were any ways they could help me back to work. Actually, I already asked them if they would pay for an intensive driving course for me and I really wanted to get that sorted out ( Read more... )

It's 10.30 and Elliot's still asleep in the double bed where he's been since Jem went to work at 7.30. Then again, he was wide awake from 1.00 - 3.30am last night, little bugger! Going to get him up in a moment because we're going to a 'Mother and Baby' talk about child safety (to see if there's anything extra we need to know about child-proofing ( Read more... )
