Mine's a double....

...discectomy that is.

Things have been a bit hectic since my last post...I was in quite a bit of pain after Sunshines Christening so I went to the docs to get a referral for another epdiural (as it was decided that maybe it was worth anoother go). Well, on Thursday I got a call from the hospital and I had an appointment with the consultant on Monday. Okay, that's kind of quick, Peter made me pack a bag just in case but we didnt really think that anything would happen on Monday...and bang! 'The epidural has done all it can, time to take them out...I have a space this afternoon or do you want a few days to get your life together?' 'err, it's as together as it can be, let's do it!'
And that was it, admitted to hospital and operated on in one day. Got to come home on Wednesday as physio and everyone else waas happy with my recovery. Lucky for the squeamish there are no pictures of my staples...although the nurse did tell me that there were 12 of them!

Sunshines Christening

Sunshine was Christened today by Brian an old Allen family friend, Harry took on role of Godfather and my sister, Fran, Godmother #1 and Peters neice, Sarah, Godmother #2. All went well by all accounts; my Mum pulled a Grandma on icing the cake (i.e. by getting up in the middle of the night to do it!).
The food was good, it was great to see everyone and it even gave us a get out on our wedding party (finally!) Of course if it had been summer we would have had a big party and invited loads of people, but I think 30 is stressful enough! And even that many wouldn't fit in our house!


Once I get hold of some photos of Sunshine in her Christening robe, fear not they will be posted!

Watch out Cats!

We saw this sign on the way from Biggleswade to my Mums and couldn't decide if it was a warning to cats, a tip for dogs or a service which was offered in the village!

In with the new and out with the old

I decided that it was time that my dancing shoes should be retired at least for the time being...they have taken up residence in the garage for the next six months (probably to make homes for mice). They had given me good service and were the second pair of this type as I loved the first pair so much...They saw me through my pregnancy so they have basically had it..no spring left! I've replaced them with a more 'sensible' pair of Skechers...
My spotty Green Flash pumps had also had their day so they went out to the bin never to be seen again on

the arrival of my more fun blue and pink Green Flash (who says you have to be grown up all the time?!)
(And this is just proof that I can throw things out!)

Home for the weekend

It feels like it's been a while since my last post, but I suppose it hasn't really. Sunshine and I went home for the weekend for various things. I was nice to be in my own home for a few days although it wasn't very restful as Sunshine decided to have a teething night which got both Peter nad I up every 2 hours on Saturday night so Sunday we both felt a bit like death warmed up! In all honesty it could have been a combination of teeth and Jab reaction...
Anyway it was nice to be home, but now I'm back at my mums for the week.

Bury St Edmunds

As part of mu prescribed exercise routine we all went of a trip to Bury St Edmunds...quite a nice market town with some interesting things like this sign for Lloyds bank...









and the smallest pub in Britin called the Nutshell...apparently we should have been holding a pint whilst the photo was being taken but that wasn't possiible for me! :(




We stopped for lunch at a lovely place called Cupola and Sunshine seemed to enjoy the music!
