So, with very little time to go and only the last few bits and pieces to buy,myself and Mr Pregnantcitygirl are going to visit the Baby Show this weekend at Earls Court to see what we have missed, lust after things that we do not have and probably do not need and generally immerse ourselves in all things ‘baby’ (and parents!). It’s a day out for me and I’m really looking forward to it. Gone are the days of long boozy lunches and hello instead to nesting, learning about new things and buying alien goods! I know that I am going to be like a kid in a candystore. Its the biggest Baby Show in the UK packed full with everything and anything for new and expectant parents all under one roof. Free advice from the experts and every thinkable brand (300 of them!) at cheap, cheap prices, free samples and special deals. I’m too late for the maternity fashion but on the lookout for feeding tops so looking forward to the fashion shows. On the downside not looking forward to spending even more money (a baby is so bloody expensive!) but the way I look at it is it’s not what we are spending but what we are saving!

Is the Overground ever on time? 12.50 to Stratford exp at 12.54. Bloody typical. It really pisses me off. I have no patience at the best of times but I can manage to get to (read ‘rush to’) the station on time as per usual but the train is,as per usual, late. It runs on tracks, up and down the line, automatically. Equipment is new, so why? Why? Why? Why? This country makes me sick sometimes. Happily put up fares way more than inflation and I mean WAY more and yet provide a substandard service. Ok, rant over. Nobody likes a moaner. It’s here now anyway. At 12.54. Continue Reading
