Boring but essential

At last!!! A new washing machine! After the repair man coming out and James doing his bit putting in a new seal it still leaked and started to stink which meant it just wasn't washing properly so I said sod it, let's just buy a new one (after all this one is about 13yeats old) . It's been a week since we ordered it and I've a pile up to my eye balls but it finally came today!

 I did one trip to the laundrette with 2 service washes in the week and it cost me £20!!! I spent my walk back (not to mention piled with 2 big ikea bags full of fresh washing and Henry snoozing in the pram unaware I was using him to sit the lighter of the two bags on) counting how many boxes/bags of liquid tabs on special offer I could get for £20!! 

I worked it out but don't ask me I've soon forgotten! 

Now here goes me spending my Thursday doing my "doby" (my great grandads word from the navy when it came to doing his laundry). 

Getting back to the blog.....

 Ive been slacking lately updating our blog but with the inspiration from Emma I've decided to get back up and running again.

As my last post was from Christmas time, Henry has done a tad bit of growing and is now 5 months old (23 weeks to be precise). Time has gone so fast! He's now sitting up and becoming just a little more irritated by his teeth daily to say the least! I think we are on a run up to a break through so watch this space! He's sitting up very well now although I still surround him with pillows in case he topples over and is quite the chatterbox too....sometimes it sounds like he says "mumma" and I get excited but not just yet! 

We've been so busy since he's been born and I have more of a  social life now than ever before! 

Were always out and about having visitors round, visiting someone, meeting up with the babies from NCT or "ladies do lunch" which James calls it, going off to buggy fit, getting to know the ins and outs of costa coffee and generally rinsing my maternity money in Boots, Next or Sainsburys & more! I love it! 

So here's to some more updates......cheers!
