Gracie’s Life Experiment

Hmm today’s max temperature was 12 deg.  It’s almost June FFS!  Feels like it’s gone back to being February again.  It was actually warmer in Sydney (in winter) today than it was in UK.

Hubby and I had a fairly relaxed Bank Holiday and went shopping in the morning.  It was dead in town guess everyone else must have been hungover somewhere!  We had to return/exchange our baby gate to Argos as they had a product recall.  Popped into Poundstretcher just to see what el-cheapo stuff they were selling (actually I was reading on the Bounty Pregnancy forums about the little bits and bobs other ladies had got there).  Bought 300 nappy bags for 99p and a selection of random cleaning products.  Then we wandered off to Subway for lunch (2 meals for £5.99 – mmm Meatball Marinara) and then off to Wilkos to get some Cocoa Butter (no sign of stretch marks yet, keeping fingers crossed).  On the way back to the car park the wind was really getting strong and I was waddling along, stupid Braxton Hicks coming on, trousers trying to fall down off my hips, top trying to ride up above the bump, cardigan blowing off my shoulders.  I think I needed about 14 hands to carry the stuff, and hold various bits of clothing around myself.  I was sooo angry and irrational I was telling the weather off (I don’t think it worked as the wind didn’t die down at all).

Summary of the day: Went shopping, Relaxed, Did a few chores, Had a lovely afternoon nap, Comforted the dog after hubby accidentally dropped her down the stairs (oh dear, what will we do when he gets butter fingers with the baby?).
