Upper Street, Islington (London), in a pub for drinks first then to Yellow River Cafe for dinner.

4. What was the most touching thing he did to you when you two were still dating?
Used to come all the way from Canary Wharf (his work) to Paddington station to wait for me to come in from Reading. He HATES taking the tube and trains but he did that for me all the time (until I moved in with him of course)

when he stands by me when I'm throwing a tantrum after a stressful day with the kids (gets screamed at by me and still can tell me he loves me)

6. Share your lowest period of your life with him.
I really struggled with 2 kids at first and plus we are not sleeping together (I sleep with Moo and he sleeps with Boo). Used to row everyday and plus he was not v pleased with his career progression then.

7. Share your happiest moment with him?
When we sat by the river in Oxford.

8. Share your saddest moment with him.
Thankfully none so far!!

9. Share your angriest moment with him.
hmm... i know when, when he got really drunk when Boo was only 6 weeks old and did something in the dining room (which i cannot say to save his face!)

10. Share your funniest moment with him.
When we danced (all four of us) to All Summer Long (by Kid Rock)

11. Share your most frustrated moment with him.
Sometimes he rather play with Boo than help with Moo

12. Lastly, when was the last time you two hold hands and walk under the moonlight, like how you used to do?
In Menorca, but only for a short while... difficult with 2 kiddos...

I wanna get tagged again!!!

Off to Cornwall tomorrow!

Yipee, we are going to cornwall for a week!
but havent finished packing.... panic!

o got my red driving licence in the post today. have to drive on holiday or would forget how to!!
going to claim insurance for my accident. only pay excess of £350. smelly AM v nice abt whole thing - I love you honey!

Boo a v good girl today. Moo still cries when i leave the room. Both enjoyed music class.

Teddies bear picnic at Willows Farm this evening but we probably giving it a miss - need to pack.
we missed jake's birthday so have to give him loads of kisses and cuddles when we meet up with belle, stuart, isabella and jake when we come back from hols.

Post holiday Blues...

hmmm.... so it's true, there is such a thing as post holiday blues!
woke up feeling disoriented and a bit sad. really wish we are still in menorca in the wonderful sun and the lovely villa.

nope, we are back in grey bleak london! in a messy tiny house. i think only moo cow is happy to be back... when we put him in his own walker yesterday, he was so happy, swooming around and pulling the plant and opening his drawers. That little fella loves his home.

i really wonder why we choose to live here. its the summer for %#$£ sake. yet its only 17 degrees and grey.

o to make matters worse, the lady whose car i knocked sent us the quote for the repairs... wait for it £1200!!!!!!!! Smelly AM says we might claim insurance after all. but lady was v nice, she told us to think abt it, no rush.

we went to the park today, but it was really difficult getting both ready. moo kept crying when i walk out of room. boo kept standing at front door asking "can we go now?" and then refused to wear her shoes. in the end, i lost it and shouted at them... made boo cry but moo found it funny. so i hugged boo and said sorry and was thankfully forgiven.
we still managed to have a good time at the park... boo ran around, went on swings and roundabout and then we went to cafe for bouncy castle and lunch.
came back all chilled and mellow.

after all we are going for another holiday on Sat, this time to Port Isaac in Cornwall!!! hee hee hee...

some pictures of my beautiful stash of slings

Bamberoo Mei Tai (super comfy and gorgeous, but super long straps)

Connecta (great for travel and front carries)


Beco Butterfly (now that I'm used to putting moo in, its really good for switching from front to back.)

Patapum (not used much nowadays since all the pretty ones have arrived)

Back from Menorca

We are back from Menorca!!
what a WONDERFUL place. The weather is so sunny, the island is so laid-back, the beaches so beautiful and the villa really BIG!

Boo and Moo had a fantastic time. Boo was a really good girl on the flights there and back. Smelly AM and I thought it will be v difficult to get both of them on the plane but it was actually quite alright. We had lots of colouring books and toys ready for Boo and I carried Moo in my Connecta. In the end, both ended up sleeping most of the flight (only 2 hours).

We went to the beach twice. First time to Son Bou (very long beach, lots of space)

and second time to Cala en Porter. I like Cala en Porter more, it more shallow so Boo was able to walk quite far out into the sea and she was so cute, with her little swimming armbands on and her matching strawberry hat and swim suit. Moo was a bit scared of the water, coz it was really cold! but he was in my solarveil OMT so very snug and happy.

We went to Mao harbour for dinner one night, to Fornells for lunch once. I like Fornells, beautiful port but so hot during the day, too hot to walk around.

The rest of the time, we spent lazing around in the villa and swimming in the pool.
Really lovely time, We are definitely going back SOON!!

I kenna accident!!

Very sad today, first time i took boo and moo out and even before start journey, reversed into a parked car while coming out of driveway!!!

so suay! now must pay for other party's damage coz we dont want to lose no claim bonus... some more boo was going "silly mummy, bump into car!"

but i still manage to drive them to supermarket and later for Boo's haircut, so i think, not that much of a failure.
now a bit scared to park and reverse out... MUST overcome fear!!

dont talk abt this... lets talk abt our holiday tomorrow!, first time moo is going on a plane... so exciting.

o here are some photos from our last holiday in Jul to Devon

Finally, I'm back!

guess what? i passed my driving test last thurs 14 aug!! on first attempt!
