Well, we had a small problem last night. At bedtime last night I realised I hadn't taken my pill yesteday morning. I didn't think Mark believed me, so I told him to go grab the one I'd missed to prove it. He didn't wanna go, so I went myself. At first I couldn't see them, and realised why I'd forgotten to take it. (I am very bad at taking my pill and even phone reminders etc haven't worked, so I now leave the open packet next to the kettle, and I take one as I see them every morning). But Mark had got embarrassed at this while his friend was round on Friday, and decided to put them back in the packet and hide them behind the coffee pot. I obviously hadn't seen this so hadn't taken any for 2 days!!! So yeah, rather worried. I cannot even imagine falling pregnant now. It's just much too scary. I wouldn't be able to keep it -- I just know the pressure would kill me at Uni. So we're going to go get a morning after pill this morning. Damnit.
I feel so silly. We're old enough to know better, and we shouldn't be having this trouble after 2 years together! God, I'm going to be so embarrassed to walk into a chemist and ask for a morning after pill at my age....and the big killer, I'm going to have to pay for it!!! That sucks butt! Rubbish!

Chicken!
Well, today we had a family fun day and went to the Stoneleigh Festival which is about a 10 minute drive away from our house. It used to be this big amazing festival which just about everyone in Coventry (and anywhere kinda close) would go and see millions of classic cars, farmers markets, craft stalls, army demonstrations...all that kind of stuff. This year, it was about one fifth of the size and just...well...empty. It was very sad to see, and even more upsetting as it still cost us £15 each to get in! The words insult and injury spring to mind!
Anyway, it was a fun day, and despite spending more money than we'd have liked, and it raining pretty much the whole time, it was a good laugh. Alfie was amazing, as always! And he was just enjoying seeing all the crowds of different people...oh, and my new hair was beautiful for about 2 minutes before the fine rain came in and did what humidity does to most people. It was in ringlets within about 5 minutes! Kinda sucks as I'd spent like 40 minutes beforehand straightening it with my pile-of-crap £7.50 straighteners!

Also, when we came home, we tried Alfie with chicken for the first time. He loved it and ate the whole pot which was nice, so that was nice to know. Will now make a job-lot of chicken dinners for him to eat over the next week or so =O) it's good doing it this way because then each night I can just add in a new vegetable at a time and we can keep tabs on it. I think maybe some courgette next week as we have some from our friend's allotment in the fridge =O)
I haven't really taken any decent pics of my hair properly done, but when I do I will put them up. I love it, and I love that I went to Primark after my hair got done, and spent £80. Which seems a lot, but with that I managed to get:
-2 pairs of shoes
-2 pairs of jeans
-a denim skirt
-a hoodie jacket
-2 belts
-a scarf
-3 pairs of fancy knickers
-a long sleeved top
-a tank top
-a pair of leggings
-a dress with belt built-in
-a pair of joggers for Mark
-a pair of braces
-2 long top/smocks
I think I just fell in love with Primark! haha
Aaaaanyway, this is a proper rambling post now so I'm gonna go...but yeah, good news all around!! Byeeeeeeeeeee xx

New hair, new 'me'...
I've been getting very upset lately. I hate the way I am now...I've always had a 'style', and since I've been pregnant/a mummy, I have none.
I used to be quite an individual -- I had pink/blonde hair, did my make up SOOO funky, and wore whatever the hell I wanted! I loved the way I was, and despite my 'normal' friends' reservations, I got more compliments on my looks than at any other point in my life.
My hair all fell out the last time I bleached it, so I cut it all off to the roots, and began growing my hair. This continued as I was pregnant, and now I'd like it long and natural for the wedding...but I am SOOO bored with it! I told Mark months ago that as soon as we get married, I am going to chop my hair off and bleach it, and right now, I could get married tomorrow if it meant I could cuy my hair off!!!
Also, with the whole clothes thing...when I worked at the spud shop, I worked 8 am-6:30 pm six days a week, and lived alone so would get into my PJs if I wasn't going on the razzle, so really had no need for 'everyday' clothes and just spent ALL my money on going out clothes. This only stopped really when I got pregnant, and then I wore maternity clothes. I'm not quite back into my pre-pregnancy clothes yet, and if I'm honest, there's not much I could wear in the daytime anyway as like I said, they were mainly for going out. So, as I've been slowly losing weight, I've been buying clothes that are basically the cheapest I can find so that I'm not spending loads of money on clothes I am not going to be wearing for long...
...as a result of all this, I feel like I have lost 'me'...I wear what's around, and what I can afford, with no thought of the way it makes me look really. It's hard.
So, I have been fighting the urge for the last couple of days in particular to have all my hair chopped and bleached, and have decided to go halfway and have a big emo 'do so that it's still funky, and I can do my eyes funky again without looking stupid (with my normal hair at the moment, if I put any colour other than brown on them, I look like a drag queen)...and here's what I'm *hoping* it will look like (but in my natural colour so still suitable for the wedding):

and of course, these are completely un-doable but my GOD I'd love hair like this:

Pub quiz...almost!
Last night, Mark and I went out for the evening with Mark's sister and her hubby. We had been trying to arrange it for ages, and finally had decided on our local and a time etc -- we turned up and ordered a drink, and we were told thr quiz might not be on. It was due to start at 9 but we thought if it wasn't on, we could go to the other pub quiz up the road, also at 9...but at about 8:45, we were told we were the only team who had turned up lol...how sad! So we just sat and had a drink or 4! Was a good giggle, Leanne and Ed (Mark's sister and her hubby) are just brilliant people!
Anyway, it was nice to have some time as young adults as we are...but it was sad leaving Alfie. When we left, he was screaming crying and sad. I know it's just because he likes the comfort of a boob at bedtime, but it was still sad! Anyway, he was fine in the end. Mark's Dad and his wife watched over him, and I trust them completely!
Little things the wee man does are just amazing me at the moment. He is moving around allover the place, despite not being crawling yet and discovering new things allover the place. He found the sky box and DVD/VHS this morning...I know that's gonna cause some trouble over the next few months! haha...
....anyway, I should go now...I'm rambling for Britain! Byeee....xx

Alfie eating a proper meal and clapping his hands!!
Well, what a great day we had yesterday....
Firstly, I made Alfie's dinner, we've been slowly adding new ingredients over a few days, and finally made it up to a proper-sounding dinner last night, and he LOVED it! He had: carrots, peas, potatoes, parsnips, and turkey! I obviously whizzed the whole thing but it just felt so good to be able to feed him a proper sounding meal -- a savoury one at that!
And secondly, I was clapping at Alfie yesterday as it makes him giggle...and he clapped back!!! Well, I say clapped...there was no actual noise, but he put his hands together in a clapping motion back and forth for the whole time I was doing it, it's just he couldn't get his hands completely flat so didn't manage palm-to-palm. So I kinda squealed a little bit, got very excited, and did it again...and he copied me again! Woop woop, I'm so impressed! I don't know if he's supposed to be doing this now, 2 months ago, or in 2 months, but I am so excited he's done it!! To my disappointment though, Mark mentioned he'd done it earlier that day for him =O( but hey-ho, I get to see most things first, so it's nice that Mark got to see something. I was still so impressed the first time *I* saw him do it!
Aaaaanyway, not much more to report, so I should go...other than the fact that I LOVE my little man and my gorgeous fella!

First post!
Okay so I've set up an account here, mainly to follow Nicky's blog. But I will try to remember and copy all my diaryland entries here too, just incase anyone's interested over here?
Well, I have nothing particularly interesting to write now but I can hear on the monitor that Alfie has just woken up so I will disappear and sort him out =O)
TTFN xx
