The ULTIMATE facial!!!

Well what a wonderful couple of days.

First of all Tuesday. Got up really early on Tuesday morning so we were at the hospital very early! Took the tyre back to the garage first though! Kath and Janette tried Lew in the monkey stander again, but he was sooo tired he didnt do quite so well in it, but we are 99% sure it was because he was so tired from all the effort he put in on Monday and that the more he uses it, the stronger he will become - fingers crossed anyway! Just have to get hold of a monkey stander for home now!! The waiting list for getting one through the hospital is long so we are hoping we can get some money donated very quickly so that we can order one soon, as they take around 4 weeks to be delivered from the manufacturer.

At group, we made MORE chocolate crispie cakes yummy! We tried to light candles off the electric cooker ... why? Well, Rachel who runs the group with Jill and Lynda - she is having a birthday in April, but as this Tuesday was the last group before the Easter holidays, Jill got her a cake so we could help her celebrate a little bit early. I wont divulge how old Rachel will be, but let me tell you, she doesnt look her age!!! So we not only had chocolate crispie cakes, but also CHOCOLATE CAKE yummmmm! It was gorgeous! We did try very hard to surprise Rachel but she's soooooooooooo nosey (!!!) that she kept popping into the kitchen and we think she spotted the cake! We missed Cole in group on Tuesday, so a big hello to Cole and his mum from all at Tuesday group and hope to see you at the farm. Which reminds me, Jane (Joseph's mum) left her memo about the farm visit at group AGAIN - is she trying to tell us something? Haha!

The children had a wonderful morning (see photos) and we finished off the morning with a lovely relax in the sensory room!

Tuesday afternoon we went to musical minis and had a great time. We got some news from Sam's mum about her parachute jump! She is making the arrangements and should be able to do it at Sandtoft - and I found out she's afraid of heights! How brave is that?!!! To do a parachute jump when you are afraid of heights - well I know I couldnt do it so thank you SO MUCH Alison! And we will all be there to watch you!

What a GORGEOUS afternoon it turned out to be! So Lew and I sat in the garden and watched Samuel bouncing super high on the trampoline!! It was lovely!

James was away in London last night for his boss (David's) 50th (I think!) birthday meal! So belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY David and hope to see you soon.

Lew was in bed (absolutely shattered!) by 6.30pm and I had a bath and went to bed as well at 8.30pm!!!

So here we are at Wednesday! Well we had a bit of a lie in, got up at 9.30am and arrived at Lizzie's to meet Jayne and to have my 'treat' for the month. We met Lizzie's mum and it turns out that Lizzie and her sister went to the school where our neighbour Pat was a teacher! Small world! I had my waxing done and then I had the MOST AMAZING facial ever! You must must have one!!! Lizzie is absolutely the best therapist I have ever been to and the Elemis facial she did was totally awesome! It lasts 1 and a quarter hours and is just mind blowing! So if you want Lizzie's number, let me know!!! Jayne and Lew played in Lizzie's lounge while I was chilling!! Then Jayne finished her 'shift' and Lizzie, Mavrick, Lewis and I went to the Yorkshire Outlet (Lakeside Village for posh people) and had a wander round the shops in the sunshine.

We had some nosh in Cafe Ritazza then Mavrick had a snooze in his pushchair and didnt wake up even after we had gone back to the car and I had dropped him and Lizzie back off home!!!

Lew and I drove back home and watched some Baby TV (a fab baby channel on Sky that is like Baby Mozart but FREE!) then James came home and Lew had a big cuddle with his daddy!

Lew went to bed at 6.30pm, straight to sleep again! I did my exercises (wahey!) and had a VERY healthy tea (as suggested by Lizzie) and soon I'm going in the bath then going to bed!

Enjoy the photos and I'll try and catch up again tomorrow - but seeing our neurologist tomorrow - Dr Mordekar - so might not be in the mood! Not a 'big' appointment, just a check up (not like the one at Great Ormond Street at the end of next month - very scared about that) but still stressful.

Love to everybody xxxx
