On friday, I took L to London to see Mamma Mia. Make up done and feeling vaguely human rather than just mum we set off. We went on a coach with a friend of mine and her mum. We were meeting another family member of theirs in London. A boring journey down there but arrived about 6pm and the show wasn't until 8:30pm so we had lots of time for dinner.
I love the hustle and bustle of London, I couldn't live there mind you! But the buzz of being in a big city gets me every time I visit! We met up with A and went down Portobello road to find a restaurant for dinner. We ended up in TGI fridays. The sheer bliss of sitting down to eat without fear of having to jump up every five minutes to see to little man. AMAZING!!! Managed to eat my meal without getting indigestion- a first in a long time! I also enjoyed a couple of vodka & cokes, yummy!!!
We took a slow walk over to the theatre, man I was sooo looking forward to this. It is a show I have wanted to see for years. L absolutley loved the movie, and is an AbbA fan, so she was excited too. Once in the theatre, we hit the loos, then the bar for a pre theatre drink! Drinks ordered...somehow, not too sure what happened, but L ended up drinking a bacardi and coke! Totally innocent mistake, 'I' had drunk L's coke- without realising it had NO bacardi in!
It never seemed to affect L, thank goodness, although she has asked since for another- might have to book her in to the local AA!!!!
Once the laughter stopped we went through to the stalls. Had excellent seats, well once I had squeezed my fat arse in anyway. Lights dimmed and off we go!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who have not seen this show, I can not recommend it enough. It was far better than the movie, absolutley fabulous. We were all singing and dancing along, such a great atmosphere. For a couple of hours I was me. I totally forgot about being mum- it was a welcome break!!
Fell asleep on the way back, so didn'y notice the journey! Arrived home at 1.15amto the joyous sound of my son still awake, aaahhhhh back to reality with bang. Two hours later once he was settled, I finally fell into my bed next to my snoring hubby, and went to sleep. Such a shame it wasn't for long though as was back up at 7am. The joys of motherhood eh??!!
The weekend then passed in a blur of plasterboard, screws & paint as a cupboard was constructed in my hallway. The purpose is to de-toy my downstairs and create some order of semblance into the chaos!
I have had the most awful backache for 4 days now, and am still in pain. No idea why, hoping it settles soon. I can really do without the inconvienience of pain!
OMG!!!!! Last night had a girly night with my daughter, neice and best friend to watch TWILIGHT the movie!!! We are all huge fans of the books so were really looking forward to it. It did not dissapoint, and has only furthered my obsession with the mighty Edward Cullen.
Needless to say, I had the best dream last night!!!
