The weekend was a busy one. After finally getting the blue paint on Elizabeth's bedroom walls at the back end of last week, we set off to the Bullring in Birmingham on Saturday morning. Husband needed some new jeans which he can only get at Gap. By the time we'd moved between the car park, and the first and second Gap it was time for a drinks break, in a very grotty Bhs cafe. The wheeled highchairs were a very bad idea, and Elizabeth spilled water all over my shoes to cap off a very stressful stop. We couldn't find a light-shade for her there, or any reduced bedding. We had a more relaxed lunch stop at our old haunt 'EAT', then looked in Mothercare for maternity clothes for me. The slightly sad looking collection didn't really entice me, so I looked in Mamas and Papas - a whole new world. Lovely clothes, lovely colours - lovely dresses for Christmas, and a lovely cardigan that was oooooooooh only £75! We took the catalogue away with a view to ordering a dress online for Christmas. Exhausted, cold and fed up of the crowds we made our way home via Ikea to take back a broken vase, then called in at my parents who had Amy staying with her new cat Mog. Elizabeth loved Mog ("Come on Mog!") and wants to see Mog again at Christmas!
Stress reigned again on Sunday morning, getting ready to see husband's Gran. Just trying to get out of the house for a set time while trying to get Elizabeth downstairs with her clothes and socks on and ready to actually leave exhausts me. We had an ok morning, back for a 'dippy egg' then I spent the afternoon finishing the remains of the Christmas shopping online. I haven't got anything for Elizabeth or husband yet, but everyone else is in the bag. At last.
