So I spent this weekend in Reading and it has been lovely, id move back there tomorrow if the opportunity came up, although it wont, not for a few years, but Reading is home to me, not Southampton. Anywho, it was a good weekend, Friday night after work sees me rushing around getting bits and bobs into a bag, enough pants, socks, t-shirts etc, the toothbrushes, making sure Matt has a selection of clothing to be sure I wont be told off for forgetting something, and ultimately forgetting to pack my own jeans... I think this time we beat the record, getting in, packed, car rammed full, dog fed/watered/toileted/bundled into the car and leaving again all in 20 minutes! Pretty damn good if you ask me, and we got to Reading about an hour later which is good, and arrived at the party just in time for food! It was some family friends birthday/fireworks party and it was really nice to see them all again. We met this family, and another who they have been friends with forever, on holiday in Crete 8 years ago now, and have stayed friends since, is pretty cool. The only thing that really peed me off when were there is when the fireworks started we went outside, Harry came too, and we sat down cuddling him watching the fireworks. He loves them! Not at all bothered by the wizzes and bangs, and likes to follow the flashes til they disapear. Well this bloke who I dont know but is often at parties with this crowd, he told me I was stupid and cruel for taking the dog outside! Cue pregnant me having forgo watching the rest of the fireworks and sitting inside with the dog holding back the tears, grr stupid man what does he know. Harry then spent the rest of the evening trying to get outside to see the fireworks and us holding him back, my mum and dad told us to ignore him and if I werent pregnant and full of volatile hormones id have been able to, but meh.

Other than that, Friday evening was lovely! The rest of the weekend was too, spent it doing not a lot at my parents house, the best way to spend a weekend if you ask me! My mum took us to the big mothercare shop on Saturday afternoon, I think we were there for about an hour, and she bought me some new trousers and a top and 2 cute sleep suits for baby! I think she is as excited about the baby as I am now!
Today we did even less, nipped into town first thing and got me some new pj's from primark, I LOVE new pj's! And popped into Tesco on the way back to my parents do get some shopping in and back for lunch of bacon and fried egg sandwiches and a cup of tea. Followed by watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and a roast beef dinner complete with my mums yorkshire puddings! Delish! And now its TopGear time and theres a milkshake in the fridge with my name on it.
Pity tomorrow is monday and back to work, although I have got my 25 week midwife appointment in the afternoon so theres that to look forward to, and if nothing else is a break from the office for an hour and a half!
