hello, long time no write properly. sorry about that.

Life is ok, apart from sniffling regularly due to hayfever (or swine flu). Work has been madly busy, and social stuff wasn't too relaxing, although a lot of fun, with 2 weddigns in a row, then a trip to London to see Take That This weekend has been positively chilled out with no real plans. Went for a walk earlir whihc probably didn't help the old hayfever but it was about time I got off my lardy arse and did some exercise. Sally ran the London 10K today (in 66 minutes no less!) and I should have joined her had it not been for the 5 months pregnant factor, so not only am I very proud of her, but I am feeling a little slack.

I also went and spent LOTS of money on maternity clothes having got to the realiseation that I am off on holiday next week and "didn't have a thing to wear" - honest!

So, this time next week I will be happily sat round a pool sipping on a Pimms - well theres no alcohol in that is there......??? (I know, I know, it'll be a Lilt I promise), staying here for 4 nights and then on to Granada to check out the Alhambra and other such delights. Can't bloody wait.

Pregnancy watch time - baby ellis is doing fine, starting to make his/her presence known by the odd "popping" feeling in my tum. The 20 week scan showed the head is attached to the body which is always a bonus. as Paul so tactfully put it the other day "bloody hell you have got fat" - although to be fair he says a lot of nice things too. It's very odd and I have moments of feeling a bit unattractive but overall its all good.
