Week 30

Well it has been quite a lazy week for Mum this week - off from work sick all week. Most unlike her! There have been lots of bugs going around though, so one must have struck at the right time. Dad chose the right week to head away for work, and luckily by-passed most of it. Poor old Mum had to look after herself though - made sure I gave her a good few kicks to remember to look after me as well!

There were car troubles early in the week, but I think they've learnt from their past errors (i.e. doing nothing) and got it fixed. Something to do with the cam belt and a leaking water pump, but enough to say is that it is all running well now :)

Today we went out and bought a Christmas tree - hoorah! Hopefully they manage to keep this one alive longer than the last (although Dad still says there are a couple of green branches amongst the dead ones, and it hasn't died yet!!). Mind you, they did get 2 years out of the last tree ... Apparently this one smells a bit more than the last - hmmm, Christmas tree smell!!!

The blind man is coming tomorrow to put up the new blind in the bathroom. The bathroom should then be pretty much finished! Mum was busy finishing off around the window frames, and it is all coming up a treat. Dad was busy replacing light switches (only gave himself an electric shock once, otherwise, he was THE man!) and doing a few other finishing off jobs around the house. It was all quite rewarding according to them both :)

My pram and car seat arrived during the week - Mum was able to drag herself off her sick bed to put it all together. Dad found some funky curtain rails at B&Q, so it sounds like they are getting themselves all organised. I think Mum has plans for tidying up my room on her day off on Tuesday - don't know why it should be messy when I am not even in it yet??

Tonight Mum and Dad popped down to 'The Pickering Arms' for dinner with Ellie and Paul. Quite spur of the moment and it was good to get out of the house!
