So What Did You Do Today?

 

Now that mum has finished work she has been trying to entertain herself.

 

Doing what you (and dad) might well ask. 

 

Well, here's a few things:

• Finished the mandatory baby classes (no birthing video - THANK GOODNESS!!!!)
• Treated herself to a haircut
• Looked up 'mum and baby' groups (so she can entertain me and get to know some locals)
• Actually went to a 'mum and baby' group (she actually enjoyed it)
• Cleaned the house (not excessively, just the usual domestic stuff - so not nesting)
• Made dad go for long walks after dinner (just to get out of the flat)

And that was just the first week!

 

It was a good thing mum had agreed to mind our friends daughter, Daisy, (it's summer holidays here) as he needed some child (she's 14!) care as he's a single dad who works full time.

 

As I refused to make an appearance they did the following in the four days Daisy stayed:

• A baking day (mmmm, I enjoyed those monkey balls, cakes, etc)
• Went to the major shopping centre in London (Westfield in Hammersmith) and window shopped for 5 hours.
• Went to Oxford Street and window shopped for 4 hours.
• Had a tv marathon (watched a few series and some movies).
