Turn of events

Image
Last week I had not one but two interviews.  Busy week full of stress as you can imangine.  Had to present my self in the best light answer all the questions and such.  I felt it went well.  I was looking forward to be around grown ups and leave these two lunatics to them selves for two whole days and not only that little one would have attended nursery after preschool more.  I would have joined the gym...  For some reason I really build all this up in my head.  I got one no last Friday. I was ok with it, the second interview seems more successful and I was very excited about working with a big team... This morning however I got a very nice email about how I have scored very highly but they got some one a bit better...  Now I feel very down. Which is silly coz I am upset about something that is in my head...  So I must stay positive! But there was an unexpected outcome. Husband said watching me being frustrated and not getting replies, he takes time to

On the wonder

 I do enjoy wonder around town and find these hidden jems... some more hidden than other.  This little daft and orchid are tucked away in riverside! Who would have know. 

Last weekend

Image
So last weekend was not only special that I went out on Friday night but also that we had Egg at grandparents so we were free to do why we wanted...  with no routine, bedtime ...  Strange feeling. Usually when baba is away Steve is working, and never have experienced the child free time.  We started out time alone by shouting insults at each other. It’s was very dirty ones! Sort of got it out of the system and didn’t need to hold the toungue until bedtime. So funny, and I kept it up for a kind time.  We did a bit of a tidy, sorted the abundance of t-shirts. Now I need to take them to H&M to recycle and to charity shop.  Next day we went to the cinema, shopping and watched rugby with take out. We even went to Jacob’s Antiques which is impossible with the small active child! But I was feeling like something was missing. My baby wasn’t home. And for the 1st time I really missed him. It is true that you are never alone once you have a child and sometimes when you are it is very strange

Roller Derby Wannabe

I have this awesome friend, who I don’t see very often but I know she is always there for me. But on the rare occasions we do meet. And we talk, we eat, we drink we have fun.  We used to see each other pretty much every day and if not at work then in the gym...  this time I actually managed to get Egg man to his grandparents for the whole weekend. So no early wake up with a wine head. It should have been epic and it was coz few days before the X day I got the text asking if I wanted to go roller skating before dinner.  Damn right I did. The to Drew Barrymore and Shauna Cross I was all roller derby since 2009 when Whip it! film came out. I even got the skates that year for Christmas. But I think I only used them once.  Oh it was so fun. Slightly worried about all the kiddies around but fun and different activity.  Physical fun followed by some awesome Italian food at an independent Italian place...    And bottle of Vediccio and 2 Aperol cocktails... this mama was happy.  So happy in fac

Not talking Wonder 2

If you are reading me or know me then you might know that Eggy boy isn’t talking yet. Here is a privious post about it. And these are thing we feel and know about this...  But now the ball is finally rolling and we finally got appointments and tests... and positive and yet not so positive people around.  I just want to share this in case some one else is going through that and you tell you that you are not alone! In December we finally saw the paediatrician who listened gave positive feed back and got us to do blood tests... and kindly chased up the speech therapy appointment. Even if the therapist said that we are “top of the waiting list” the coincidence is well ... there is no such thing...  The blood tests were really horrid to do. I do not believe we have a medical issue, but it would be eliminated or not. But at least there will be a definite answer. Do you remember last time you had your blood taken from the vein? Did it hurt? Were you annoyed and possibly upse

Take that the band

Last time I was in the theatre it was for Magic poridge pot in Welsh with my boy’s preschool. It was lovely don’t get me wrong. But I need something for me. So we got tickets to see Band with my mother in law for Christmas.    I do enjoy going to WMC. And we didn’t know much about the musical only that there is a lot of take that music. I don’t mind that, but I wouldn’t call my self a fan. But I have favourite songs, like Back for Good and Rule the World.  Yvonne was telling me about the tv program where they were looking for people to act in this show. I of course have no idea about it, but it must have been an enjoyable watch for people who love the band and the musicals.  So we settled in and ... it was so lovely. I actually almost cried! Twice!  It’s not Take That the musical it is a story for friendship thoughtout the years set to take that music.  After that I wanted to dance and run three through the fields. Not sure where the last feeling came from!  But a wonderful uplifting m
