Sunday 24th October – Day 296

A quiet day as we were all feeling rough. We are taking part in a book tour for a young author next month and we revealed the book on instagram today. We made a reel.
Monday 25th October – Day 297

Baby still had a slight temp and I was feeling really rough. So I let the HV know we wouldn’t be coming for her weight check today and phoned the doctors to rearrange her immunisations which were tomorrow. Even if she didn’t have a temp tomorrow I was too drained to look after her if she had a reaction.
Tuesday 26th October – Day 298

We had received a K’nex roller coaster to make but messed up a bit and couldn’t get it to work. As the review was due to go live yesterday I had to make it live today even if I couldn’t figure out where we had gone wrong. We will try again when we are not full of cold.
Wednesday 27th October – Day 299

Bee and her dad went for a day out. I had initially thought I would take the baby out this half term but this cold I had really drained me. They decided to go Warwick castle and on the way home stopped at Leicester to eat at Pamson Grill. They brought me back some biryani and chaat.
Thursday 28th October – Day 300

Decided not to send Bee to karate this week to let her rest up as she still has a slight cough. Plus I hate that they go over board for halloween. We don’t celebrate it and she always feels left out as those who dress up get treats and badges. It is not fair on those who don’t celebrate. I a paying money for her to learn karate..not do halloween games. Noticed baby’s skin on her head was a bit flaky. Posted on instagram and got a lot of suggestions on how to deal with it. Some thought it might be mild cradle cap.
Friday 29th October – Day 301

Usually in half term I would take the girls out to eat at least once. But there is no way baby will let me eat in peace so we decided to order from one of our favourite restaurants. I got the chicken in featherbed.
Saturday 30th October – Day 302

One of my closest uni friends came to visit and see baby. I haven’t seen her for over 2 years now i think….well definitely not during lockdown etc. She has also moved further away so it’s harder to visit…she’s 2 hours away now instead of 1 hour. She got baby some clothes and us some chocolate. Was nice to have a catch up. Hubby had got the kids some treats to have. Once she left decided to pay the parents a quick visit as they hadn’t seen the girls for a while and I was actually out of my pyjamas for once.
Glad to hear you managed to get out of the house. Hope everyone is feeling better now
We are thank you
What a pretty book.
The K’nex roller coaster looks like fun. Such a shame you couldn’t get it to go.
That does look like cradle cap on the baby. x

Hoping we get it to go when we try again
I’m like celebrating Halloween and last week I had my special masks on (orange with spiders on them) at university. At uni they had lots of Halloween-themed desserts. I don’t see it as a religious holiday and I think most people see it as a secular celebration, so don’t think about the people who are not celebrating. I think all children should get treats, regardless if they are in costume or not.
Yes that is what annoyed me, all children should get the treats
Hope you are all feeling better now and managed to arrange a new date for the baby’s vaccinations. We have a similar K’nex rollercoaster and remember having a similar issue with it a few years ago. Good luck when you try again. #365
Thank you
I’d feel the same about sports activities and fancy dress silliness. N isn’t one for dressing up anyway. It does look like cradle cap. N never had the flakiness but had freckles – Dentinox shampoo was good once he was a bit older. (I hated trying to use olive oil or coconut oil on it) Now he’s got enough hair to cover what’s left.
I will try the shampoo thanks
Sorry to hear that you’ve been unwell – the cold sounds like it was a really nasty one. Hope you are feeling better now. Lovely to have a visit and a catch-up with your friend. #project365
Yes it wasn’t pleasant
Sorry to hear you have all been unwell. I hope that you are feeling better now. Great you went to see your parents and that you saw your uni friend. A lot of my friends live a long way away and it makes it so difficult.

Yes miss my friends that live a long way away
Hope both baby and you are feeling better now. It does look like cradle cap, both of mine had it.
The roller coaster set looks cool! The baby gro with one of our favourite stories is lovely. I think we still have the book somewhere. Lovely that you were able to see your friend.
Much better thank you
Sounds like a tiring week. Shame about the Karate lessons and Halloween. How lovely your friend made the effort to visit and sounds like the trip to Warwick castle was enjoyed. Lovely you managed to get out to see your parents.
