The mr has been off for the past two days as he starts a 7 day working week this morning. Is like to say it was filled with lots of exciting things but it wasn't. Instead it was filled with DIY. We started to finish decorating our bedroom a year after we had started it. We've still got two walls to finish painting and all the skirting but at least I've now got somewhere to hang my jewellery. If the swine had been able to have the kids we probably would of had it done by now.

Helena is staring to outgrow her Moses basket. So next weekend we are moving her to the nursery and out of our room. Luckily the nursery is off our room so she's not too far out of earshot. When we move in a couple of years I can't wait to have our own room. We've never had our own room. Our bedroom has always accommodated all the things that fit nowhere else. We've lived her 3 years and there has always been a mess in our room. It is the dumping space. 

So Helana actually giggled. I made her giggle. I was so happy I may have shed a tear or two. 

The weather is proving to be too hot for the kids. It's making them really irritable. We've had to stay in for most of it as they have both inherited mine and the mr's pale colouring so they need a ton of suncream but Eth will not put it on. I've not given up but just choosing my battles wisely. 

I've not done anything recently with wedding planning. I'm not at a dead end it's just the invites are sent out and we've had a few RSVP already but until I get a few more confirm I can't really plan the catering although we do have a caterer lined up. No one has declined yet. 

Talking of weddings. I think I've finally sorted out my outfit for the brother and sister in laws wedding. I'm wearing heels! I never wear heels and these are huge! Although I've had a little practice in them already I think I may be taking a back up pair of flat shoes. 

I've still been having a few down moments but I'm trying to get through them the best I can. I think one of the big issues is I feel trapped and I'm lonely. I'm a little restricted as to what I can do when the mr is at work. My sister is out of action since she hurt her foot on Eths birthday. She was told it's broken but then at a follow up appointment this week she was told it's actually tendon damage. She's had a cast for two weeks for no reason. I do know I need to get out and socialise but I don't know where to start. I hope once Eth is at nursery in September it will free up a few hours so I can take helana to a baby group.
