Summer clothes & nurseries

Oh, the sun the sun the sun. I love the sun! Its proper Spring weather here and life feels wonderful. Glorious flowers and beautiful birdsong, all was perfect...until I opened my wardrobe.....
Realized yesterday I had NOTHING to wear. While I was pregnant I threw away so many clothes (or at least tucked them away somewhere safe in storage) that I thought I'd never be able to wear again. What a stupid thing to do.
As I rummaged round the wardrobe pulling out faded black tops and jeans smelling of mildew or something, I knew I had to sort this out.
So me and little Torrence (Ellen...nickname....don't ask...) packed ourselves into my Jeep and headed off to Lakeside. Lakeside, this huge shopping centre that I haven't been to in ages, and truly forgotten how great it is! I zoomed round for about 1 hour trying dresses on and shoes and god knows what, bought a few little things and just when I was thinking "oh time to go Ellens getting tired", she fell asleep in the pram....AH! Well how excellent, I thought, and carried on into H&M. Came out with a rather large bag full of clothes and then stumbled into another shop...by mistake of course...and ended up in another changing room trying more dresses and more tops on.
So after about 2-3 hours I went home and ooooh how nice my wardrobe looks all of a sudden. Retail therapy certainly works as I was soooo cheerful that evening.
And bounced out of bed this morning, cause I knew there was a lovely dress to wear!
Stupid.

So, I've decided to use the creche at the gym for the first time. Haven't really had the need for it til now. I just really fancy a workout today and will give it a go.
Will see how it goes. Hopefully she will be fine and just enjoy sitting on the playmat with all the other babies...I am just dreading her screaming the place down and me having to take her home again. But I can only try.

Pierce & Louise had their son Archie Michael Peter, Wednesday, 18 April. Such wonderful news and I can't wait to see him!

Went to yoga on Wednesday as well. Lisa was going and asked if I wanted to tag along. I though great, haven't done yoga for a while. I remembered all the "moves" and managed to keep up with the other yogi-bears and felt great afterwards...until I woke up the next morning...oouch...legs, bum and shoulders....could I feel it...yeeeeees.
And as the day progressed both me and Lisa were suffering more and more. Maybe its another reason why I am dying to workout today, cause I realised I am so unfit...

Ellen is awake now, gotta go.
