Finally did it and stimulating the economy.
I have been meaning to donate blood for ages, but pregnancies, babies and breastfeeding have been in the way since 2003. Today was the perfect opportunity though, so I rang to make an appointment.

Our adventure!
Well, it was an adventure to me anyway! We bought a swing set from E-Bay and organised to pick it up this afternoon. This meant that I had to borrow a trailer from a lovely friend, but I haven’t driven a car with a trailer on it for about six years! So we went to [...]

A lovely morning
A and I usually take it in turns to have a sleep in on the weekend. Some weekends it’s not possible for one reason or another, but this weekend he wanted to sleep in Sunday morning so this morning I got to sleep in until 9:30am, apart from a wake up by Dexter at 6am, [...]
