Cor Blimey!

Well should really attempt a blog as it has been a while I guess!

Things are a changing again, work (pants!) is changing, new systems, expectations of great things, reality probable redundancy - phew what an escape! Will be my chance to get off my fat arse and do something less boring instead! Admin sucks!

Me - I am changing, getting very slightly more laid back, have decided that as there is another baby on the way I may as well give up on the show house ideal, and relax in my family home with my quiet frankly delicious little family. Also bump is pushing through now, clothes are no longer fitting, and my legs have begun to swell to enormous widths during the day. I have always had podgy legs, but my goodness these are a sight to behold - elephants would be keen to see the wonder of these!

Add the insect bites (is there anything about the summer that should make me happy?!) and you have horrific looking legs - they really are horrid, and are happiest elevated and covered so as not to alarm the children and the dog.

I am desperately trying to widen my entertainment, too long have I sat and watched american comedies which I have seen several times before. Its all part of my anxiety and trying new things, I am such an idiot - I am scared of wasting time on rubbish tv! I would rather commit to an old favourite episode of Friends or Frasier than explore new territory! Goodness only knows what I will be like when I am old! Sat in front of an ancient DVD player while my Great Grandchildren shy away from the strange old lady that is sitting dribbling and watching odd tv.

I have so far started watching Police Interceptors - on recomendation by a friend, I very rarely venture onto something that is completely new to me! I have also attempted Psychoville which was repeated on UKGold or Dave or whatever its called these days - I watched the entire series over 2 nights, which is kind of old behaviour in that I crammed it in, but it was a new programme so kudos to me for that! lol

This was kind of an easing into the real world a bit - it was a repeat but not something I had seen before!

I even watched a movie last night - all the way through. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I borrowed it from my parents about 6 months ago, and finally got courage up to watch it, and I am very glad I did. It was very good and very entertaining, and reminded me how much I adore Alan Rickman.

Ahhh Alan Rickman, probably top 5, nay top 3, possibly even number 1 of greatest actors of all time.

Right I am off to do some ankle rotations on order of the midwife and possibly even a relaxing bath.

Agree with you 100% about Alan Rickman.
Hope your bites are feeling better.
And there's nothing wrong with watching your favourites on telly - pregnant ladies should do as they like :-) xx

I've sadly tripped back into my old ways, and have paused Paramount comedy, so that I can watch old shows I have seen before without the ads! Bites are better - but still look horrendous! xxx
