Murray's first day at nursery

Tuesday 8th November 1 week late..... Murray started nursery. We arrived at the same time as Jenny who Murray used to chat up in the buggies when their sisters were at nursery together. We went into the nursery playground and halfway across Murray decided to make a dash for it home. I had to haul him in. Then we went into the room. He wouldn't take his coat off until he chose his peg. He's got a green car on it. Then off he went never to be seen again. His wee mate Harry is in the room and his girlfriend Sophie was right on hand to show him about. Sophie's twin Hayley is the one Murray really wants but she ignores him lol.

We stayed an hour and when it was time to leave he howled. So we are off to nursery after lunch and hopefully I can leave him for an hour or so. Won't know what to do with myself.

So here's to Murray being happy again today.

Nursery

Murray was supposed to start nursery on 1st November. But due to sickness in the nursery he couldn't. So he's starting Tuesday 8th. Funny I always had the feeling he would start then. Not sure what to do with myself on a Monday and Thursday afternoons. Probably hit the gym.

A New Baby

For 2 weeks I've been wondering if my friend was ok. Then tonight I got 7 e-mails telling me that Leila Ruby had arrived on the 29th October at 7.32am weighting 8lb's 7oz. Congratulations to the proud parents Laura and John and can't wait to to get a cuddle from a very special baby.

Murray's 3rd Birthday

Murray wakened at 4am but with the clocks change got sent back to bed. He's been extremely lucky with what he has been given and has had a lovely day.

His football party went really well and murray wasn't the usual shy little boy that he normally is. He had a great time and even smiled while Happy Birthday was sung to him.

We're off to the Chinese buffet for dinner with the grandparents soon. But here are some pics.


ME AND EILIDH Opening my pressies



Me with Eilidh Christie and Callum



Time to sing happy birthday, How thin is mummy compared to last year?


This is all my pressies that mummy set up last night

I've made Murray a football cake. A bit lopsided as Murray repositioned everything but never mind.

A Visit to Perth for a special party

Murray and I went on a special visit to perth to meet some friends who had babies at the same time as we had Murray. It was a lovely day and these are some piccies. We went to Noah's ark In Perth and stayed longer than we should have but it was fun.

Toby, Leon and Mummy Jemma, Jenna, Lucas and Mummy Janis, Holli and Mummy Eva and Murray with his Mummy Louise. UNfortunately Murray yawned in another picture






This was time for Leon, Jenna and Murray to go home. Doesn't he look happy?

2 and a half stone

WHOOOOOO Went to my weigh in tonight and was delighted to discover I'd lost 2.5lb's taking me to a total loss of 2st 8.5lb's in just under 9 months. I am absolutely delighted with myself and I also got my 2 and a half stone award tonight too. On top of that I am just half a pound of my target weight. I am just bouncing off the ceiling right now and delighted.

Next week is my 7th wedding anniversary and I am slimmer today than I was on my wedding day. Scary thoughts all that. So here's hoping that I keep all the weight off and still look fabby at christmas.

Got a Cold and a new toaster

Somewhere along the lines..... I got a cold. Been feeling really lousy and poor Murray's been neglected to watching Magic Roundabout. Although I don't think he is too bothered about that until it's time to collect Eilidh. At least it's happened now before I go back to work.

We finally got a new toaster. It's a chrome 4 slice one. I was fed up of whinging in the mornings because one child had toast before another child, so this way they get it at the same time and mummy's ears don't get a bashing.

It's also walk to school week just now. We've walked everyday and Eilidh has filled in her diary which they asked her to do. Well she's drawn pictures as she doesn't walk to write as she does enough of that at school apparently.

Any way that's all from us Folks.

Murray's Birthday Pressie

We've been shopping with just 4 weeks to the big day of Murray's birthday. We bought this http://www.elc.co.uk/sku-110737/p1-KeywordSearch/p2-41/Product.do and then realised that we weren't sure until we went shopping in Glasgow and ELC had one on display. I reckon Daddy and Muzz will have a ball with it. You can even buy extra cars and think we'll all have to have our own ones.

He's having a football party with a bouncy castle which he is very excited about. He's got all football themed things and he is also getting a set of Goals. All scary stuff. My baby is gonna be 3!!! Where's the time gone?

H*A*P*P*Y B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y TO B*E*N on the 4th. He's Murray's wee friend who moved to North Carolina. He's 3 this week.
