Four in a bed



We decided at the last minute to go camping in Woolacombe for the Easter weekend. The weather was set to be beautiful, and the surf was also looking good, so despite my reticence to give up my creature comforts, we went for it. Luckily our tent is massive, but despite the fact that it has 2 bedroom compartments, we all ended up sleeping in the same bed. We discovered too late that the inflatable mattress we'd bought for Jamie was tiny and he'd never sleep on it - so the plan was for he and Wayne to share the double one, I'd sleep on the single one, and Daisy would be in her travel cot. But in the middle of the first night, after Daisy woke for a feed and woudldn't go back to sleep (she's teething), the only solution seemed to be for us all to squash in together. It wasn't as bad as it sounds!



We had a lovely weekend, spent a lot of time on the beach, Wayne and I took it in turns to surf, and we had a couple of nice meals out.




I have to admit though, I was quite glad to come back to my comfy bed and hair straighteners!!

For sale!

After months of DIY and decorating, our little pink house is finally on the market. The estate agent came to take the photos today, so we did some mad cleaning and decluttering over the weekend to get it looking its best. I don't think we could have done much more. Now we just have to keep it looking pristine at all times in case of viewings. I hope it sells quickly - now that we've made the decision to move to Tewkesbury, I just want to be there, getting settled in, getting Jamie into a preschool and choosing which primary to apply for.

But, I will feel sad when we eventually leave this house. It's the first one we bought together, our first family home where we brought Jamie to from hospital...and I think most momentous of all, it's where Daisy was actually born.
