‘…a pixie, the faeries, a grumpy troll and the witch’

Today did not start out so well for me, woke up and peed for England (as pregnant women usually do!) and ended up back in bed with excruciating abdominal pains that I couldn’t seem to shift. Spent a while crying in pain, Alex was getting more & more worried . I think I can put it down to too much Iron in the Pregnancy Supplements I’m taking - Iron makes it difficult to go to toilet, if you don’t do a no2 for a while you get backed up and it hurts!! - at least I hope that’s the explanation - there’s no spotting so fingers crossed.

A bacon sarnie and a cup of tea made the world of difference and the pain eventually went. Sat down and watched Backyardigans with the kids, much to Alex’s disgust! Natalie played with her MoonSand (anyone have a recipe for this stuff, we’ve done floam, play-dough and gloop) and Hermionie played with Natalie’s Wooden Marble Run (must remember to fetch marbles from underneath the sofa ). Both kids then moved onto playing dress-up downstairs. I cleaned up and sorted some washing out (tumbler again - grrrr!) and found that the stupid boiler had leaked all over the microwave again, all made Shepherd’s Pie for dinner, ate it and went out for drive (we intended going for a walk but we don’t have webbed feet and really the weather only suits ducks right now!) around the more country-ish parts near us and drove into as many deep puddles as we could find kids found it hilarious.

Came home and tidied up the aftermath of the dressing-up session (well, Alex did ‘cos I had fallen asleep again) and got kids of to bed.

Natalie is upstairs pulling out her wobbly tooth out. Yuk!

….Alex has Natalie’s 8th tooth in his hand - guess we have to shell the money out then! (and sprinkle fairy dust over the money, Natalie’s pillow and put a dot of it on her cheek, ‘cos that’s where the Tooth Fairy gives her a kiss - don’t ask me why I started it but I did and now we have to keep it up - just hope I can find the fairy dust!)
