As you will know from previous posts, C is turning

As you will know from previous posts, C is turning 18 in a few weeks. As this is a milestone birthday and my baby girl will become an adult. We want to make it special and something she will remember without tiring her too much and causing a crash.

I had one of my brainwaves where I thought we could get her 18 gifts to open, I have not quite got 18 gifts, well I do if I wrap charms separately but that is cheating really.
I have been lucky with help from @printster_uk and @bookofeveryone head over to the blog (link in bio) to see what we have got so far.

We also have a family meal booked in a lovely Italian restaurant that sees @jamie.redknapp and @harryredknapp visit on ocassion.

Do you have any gift ideas for us to make her birthday special?

AD - I have been looking at gift ideas for my granddaughters as not only do I have C's 18th birthday coming up, two days later I have my granddaughters 1st birthday and a couple of weeks later her big sisters 4th birthday. November is a busy month in our house.

As a grandparent, I feel it is my duty to give the girls what they want with noisy and messy toys. I mean it is what grandparents do, it does get me in trouble with their mum, but I have my secret weapon with C. She is favourite Auntie and has an amazing bond with her Nieces, and can do no wrong and never gets told off.

I have been looking on @wickeduncletoys site for some great gifts for the girls for both their birthdays and Christmas. Head over to the blog to find out more (link in bio)

As you know by now Tuesday is Life After Lockdown

As you know by now Tuesday is Life After Lockdown Linky, where I answer a set of questions and share how the past week has been.

We are still no further forward with C's education, we should have heard last Wednesday, and I chased a few times. It just shows how badly kids that are not in main stream education is treated. Sadly this is a common thing.

I have been working on trying to make her 18th birthday special, although am in denial my baby is going to be 18 in a few weeks.

We have made it through to Friday, it has been a pretty emotional and stressful week.

We still have no further news on C's education, I have chased again this morning and had an email reply this time, waiting for the Managers consideration. Surely every child deserves an education, just because they have an illness does not mean they can be let down with education.

I have also been busy with 18th birthday preparations and my Christmas gift guides.

I am also still suffering, but have my next appointment next week where I am hoping they can help me as I really can not carry on in this much pain for much longer, whilst carrying on with all the other things us Mums do.

How has your week been?

Do you know someone who has just found out they ar

Do you know someone who has just found out they are going to be a Dad?

It is a pretty scary time, as the realisation sinks in that life is about to change forever.

I remember when I fell pregnant with C, how much support there was for Mums to be from friends and family, to pregnancy magazines and forums which I am still friends with them all now 18 years on. But when it comes to the Dads there really is not much out there for them, until now.

I have just been reading the book You're Going To Be A Dad from @daddilife which covers every topic from first becomming pregnant right through until the first year of the babies life. It talks about everything you want to know or never knew you would want to know. It truly is a book for Dads by Dads, with quotes from other Dads throughout the book. Head over to the blog to find out more.

As you know by now Tuesday is where I take part in

As you know by now Tuesday is where I take part in the Life After Lockdown linky. This past week seems to have gone on forever, not sure why.
We are still waiting on news of C's education, October 2019 I started fighting for this and still no news.
The panic buying has started, as I hear more and more people say about empty shelves, and the petrol around here (althoug not checked in past few days) is still hard to get.
Apart from meeting up with friends on Saturday, we have not been up to much, and been home, although my dog who should be acting like an older dog seems to think he is the Andrex Puppy.

Tuesday is where I take part in a #linky and take part in the Life After Lockdown posts, and share how my week has been.
We had a very quiet week really, still no news on C and her eduation which is driving me mad.
Getting fed up of the petrol shortage and protestors. Yes I am grumpy at the moment due to still being in lots of pain.
We did have a lovely evening out on Saturday at a friends 50th and met up with our oldest friends for the first time since going into lockdown.
How was your week?

One thing we all love is those finishing touches t

One thing we all love is those finishing touches to our home. Whether it is the soft furnishings of cushions and throws to other little knick knacks.
One thing I love, as many of you will know already is wall art.
I recently teamed up with @desenio to review some of their amazing poster prints.
They have. a huge range and after a lot of viewing opted for some wall art to finish C's bedroom, a couple for my granddaughters and a lovely classic print for my bedroom. Head over to the blog to find out more (link in bio).
Do you have wall art around your home?
