Your recommendations please!

Our hoover died yesterday! Any suggestions on a replacement? I've heard that Dysons and Henrys are good. What have you heard?

Week 30!

Well we finally buckled and bought the Bugaboo buggy! Couldn't wait any longer! All set for our walks in the in the crisp autumnal air!
Had some more blood tests last week and some student midwife managed to make a right hash of my right arm so I've got a nice bruise now! Turns out I've also become anemic so will need some iron tablets. I'm afraid you wont get me to eat liver any day!
Was up in London again yesterday for another site meeting for the restaurant in Borough Market called Roast which opens in October. Doubt I'll be able to go to the opening though, what with baby coming then.
Have now decided on baby names! Yey! But I'm afraid they are a secret!!

I'm back!

Got back from France yesterday. Had a lovely relaxing time in the sun. We visited a castle and a museum, went boating on the river, went out for a few meals and had some lie-ins! Nice! Caroline has a very cushy life! The baby's car seat arrived today, so that made it feel a bit more real. V. exciting! At least we can get it home from the hospital now! Still need to find somewhere for it to sleep I guess!

In London!

One terrorist attack in ages and I had to be in London for a site meeting! Typical! If I had been there an hour earlier, I would have been on the tube when it was shut down! Luckily I was on my way up to town from Woking, and didnt realise what had happened until other passengers were getting calls from people. I managed to get an over ground train to my meeting in London Bridge. Stayed for that, then got a lift back to waterloo and a train home. But I was quite lucky as many stations were closed and all our mobiles didnt work, so there was a bit of confusion about what to do. Just glad I wasnt stuck on the tube in my condition!

Week 28.

Hoorah, we got the Olympics! Well I never! Baby will be nearly 6yrs old!
Claire and I are off to France on friday to see Caroline which we are looking forward to. Then we are back on monday. Also hoping to get a few days off at the end of next week.
Baby is kicking away nicely, and the girls at work got a chance to feel it move this morning! Not much else to report at the moment. Just hope the weather isnt too bad this weekend! Sods law though!
