This morning was one problem after another. Nigel was working this morning, gardening at a local hotel and the car was in the garage because it was leaking something and there had been a problem with the power-steering fluid. The weather wasn't too bad and the children are healthy so there was nothing to stop me walking with them to Dads. It was 11:30am before we were ready and just before we left the house we had a call from Nigel saying that the garage had finished the jobs and that they'd dropped the car at Nigel's parents house, so if I wanted the car I could use it but I'd have to fetch it from their house. Which is no problem really because they only live a couple of streets away. However, after consulting the children we decided to walk anyway. Once everyone was finally happy and comfortable, with drinks, raincoats, (just in case), lunch, cardigans etc. we set off. We managed to get down 3 streets before HRH began crying that his legs were sore. I sat him on the buggy board and put bandages on him in the street and then decided to go back to my in-laws to collect the car. I knew it would be a pain and we definitely needed the walk because we don't get enough exercise but I had a feeling I'd be better off with the car. when we were almost there I remembered that I had no soya butter, and obviously due to allergies we have to use our own so I had to turn around again and drive back home to collect some. I was grateful we were in the car then!
So we finally arrived at my Dads really, really late but in one piece.
Anyway the point I wanted to make was that I haven't driven for a while and when I did I really noticed how much my tummy was scraping on the steeping wheel! I remember this with all of my pregnancies but only when I am in the 3rd trimester! I decided to measure myself when I got home and was shocked to discover that I have a 38in/96 1/2cm waist! That is massive it is no wonder I get tired!
Speaking of which I really need to put my feet up for 5 minutes, I shattered!
