{My Life in Photos}

We have been busy bees in the Glasgow house these past few months! Here are some of the things that we've been up to...

Getting dressed up for Halloween - my fairy princess and Superman!

Ten Pin Bowling with Becky

Bowling was a big hit with both my little ones - I'd highly recommend it if you haven't been. And I thoroughly enjoyed it too - was ages since I had been bowling! (I also managed to get a higher score than Becky!!)

Soft play!

Babycino and cupcakes

My sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl

Lots of cups of tea in bed!

Snuggles and Disney movies

Bunches for the first time!!

We visited Santa at Eden Mill

Loving the reindeer & other farm animals

Mulled wine in the slow cooker!

We decorated the house and filled our advent calendars with chocolate coins

The Christmas tree (which I insist on being all gold!)

My Christmas fairy helping with the washing up!

My Christmas tree bunting which I picked up in the sale from Laura Ashley at the start of the year. Looks perfect in my green and red kitchen.

Can you believe that it's November already!?! Not only November, but 6th November!!! Seriously... where has the time gone!?

October was a busy, busy month... and thankfully things have quietened down now in the Glasgow Mummy house and we're getting back into our usual routine. 

The kids are with their dad three nights a week, and whilst I'm glad of the rest (I need it!) and the me-time (catching up on laundry, meeting friends for coffee, time at the gym...) I'm finding that I really miss them. I arrived at work this morning and my colleague was filling me in on the lovely day she had with her daughter at the zoo and I nearly started crying at my desk. Don't get me wrong, it's such hard work with an 18 month old and a 3 year old... they're at that awkward age where they're yet to become good company and I struggle to do certain outings with them on my own. But I feel a bit lost when they're not around, so I'm finding that I'm keeping myself busy to keep my mind off things. Yesterday though I actually put my feet up and had a proper rest - I watched Alfie (Jude Law - yes please!) and then Dirty Dancing. I think that's why I'm feeling a bit 'meh' today... I had too much time to think yesterday!

In other news I'm getting a cat... yes, you read right - a cat! I'm thinking it might help cure my loneliness. Although we'll have to see how I go as I'm allergic to cats (I know, I think I might be a bit insane at the moment! haha!!). My sister has two cats, called Pickle & Onion. I had initially planned to get a cute little brown cat and call it Branston (awww!) but Ali has offered to let me take Onion for a while rather than commit to a new cat. Pickle & Onion don't get on terribly well, so we're thinking Onion will be less grumpy when he's with me, and away from Pickle! Watch this space to see how we get on...!!!
