Saturday consisted of ensuring the food shopping was done earlier afternoon before Darron and I collected Jon and headed off to Birmingham for the evening. I feel guilty somehow for allowing him to come as Ivy is only 12 days old ( Read more... )

Booked a day's holiday today. I had an appt and wasn't sure how long that would take. Whilst I had quite an amount of detail to give, it wasn't until after she left and had referred to a particular era that I realised why it was significant. I sent her a text after ( Read more... )

Work is plodding along fine. I took a few cds in today to listen to as just sometimes it's nice to have background noise and my boss has already laid claim to the radio for his room. Quite selfish of him. In the car recently I'm listening to Keane's Perfect Symmetry which was bought for me for Christmas. I find myself thinking that Spirraling ( Read more... )

My plan tonight was to go to the gym straight after work and I had my kit ready in the car ( Read more... )

The minute Darron left this morning to feed his Mum's cats, I received a call from the hospital saying she was ready to leave. Due to me having a more comfortable car, I drove them there to collect her. Back at her house we found a cat that was believed to live in the street in the foyer injured. He'd been sliced and torn very badly around his ( Read more... )

Another fail for the NHS and being shunted. Darron's Mum wasn't operated on until mid afternoon meaning she'll be staying in tonight now. A part of me wonders if he will offer to move in with her temporarily as her hand/arm will be plastered and out of action for 5-6 weeks. It would be nice to have the house to myself for a short period just to ( Read more... )

Bad news, Darron went with his Mum to the hospital this morning to get the permanent cast put on and the doctors weren't happy with the results of yesterday's battle and want to operate. It was hoped this would be during the day but by the time I had left work this evening the operation had been delayed due to emergencies. Hopefully tomorrow ( Read more... )

This morning I was still bouncing and along with baby delivery, my new chest of drawers had also been delivered yesterday in my absence. Something was lost in translation as we assumed they would come ready made, but they arrived in 2 hefty boxes. Not to worry, Darron offered to construct them for me whilst I was working. That was until the ( Read more... )

No written words are going to express my amazement at watching Teresa & Jon's baby being born today. Such an honour to be there. It will be a very long time before anything surpasses this experience ( Read more... )

I barely got any sleep last night. Before I went to see Yes Man I had a text asking me to be on standby as Teresa's contractions started. I went to the film anyway as there's no guarantee how quick or prolonged labour could be. She has been in hospital overnight but nothing further happened. Even having the phone next to the bed, I felt ( Read more... )
