A wonderful week off

 

So I previously mentioned in another post that Ant's mum and husband were re-doing our bathroom for us.

So we were going away for the week! Obviously.. They suggested it, not us! I did feel a bit cheeky but it just seemed to make sense.

So our first stop was my mums house..

We arrived on the Friday night and then we played games and caught up as usual! There's no pictures because they dont like having evidence that I beat them at all the games..

 On the Saturday me and Antony went into town and I got my nails done and he got his hair cut.. we had a little bit of a mooch about in Taunton.

That evening we ordered take away and played with the virtual headset for most of the evening.

On the Sunday we used to virtual reality headset to do some boxing exercises.. omg me and Antony were aching so badly for the next few days, it was ridiculous!























We then spent pretty much all day playing mario kart and crash bandicoot, it was such a good chilled day.. and then another take away! Perfect, I did sneak off to bed about 10pm this night.. cant hack it! We had such a great weekend catching up, playing games and munching lots!

The next stop was to Antony's nan's house in Wales... we set off on Monday morning after a breakfast casserole.. how did I forget about this. MMMM! Literally the best., which has reminded me to get all the stuff on the next shopping list and ask mum for the recipe!

We had a nice drive to Ant's nans, me and Ant just have such a laugh in the car singing along to music and chatting rubbish.. have I mentioned I love him in this blog yet?!

We arrived and had a catch up with Pauline (Ant's nan) in the kitchen before we got our stuff out of the car. Pauline is lovely, it's always so nice to see her! She had a heart attack not too long ago and she's doing so well! She's very active and very young for her age so I'm not surprised she's sprung back so well. 

We then had a proper lil chill out (I napped.. shock) before heading over to her part of the lil mansion, (how do I get to spend my week off in TWO mansions?!) for a much needed healthy dinner Pauline had made. 

Robin which is Pauline's husband was also there, which I was really happy about because sometimes he stays in Coomb (a fk off castle they've renovated) and likes to kind of avoid some people as he can be an introvert.. he's lovely, thats not meant in any bad way at all. But he does do that and I felt so special that he even swapped his days at Coomb so spend time with me and Ant. You can tell he genuinely likes us and it makes me really happy!

On the Saturday we went shopping and for some lunch, we bought baby clothes which is always exciting! 

We got back to Pauline's and had a separate chill, which I need cos I end up napping every time LOL, pregnancy is hard!

That night we went to the pub and had a huuuuuuge portion for dinner, I had curry as usual.. and then cursed myself because I have such bad hear burn all the bloody time! 

The next day we met Robin at the Rugby Club and we had a spot of lunch, he surprised us with a little Scarlett's top for the baby, so sweet! We went for another mooch around the shops and then home to chill before leaving tomorrow. It went to so quickly!

So last stop.. we are off to Manchester to see my dad and fam. 

We arrived early evening and had the usual catch up with everyone, I walked in and within minute both Dad and Karen were holding the bump and both felt kicks, that was amazing! I love when other people see or feel the movements, it's so nice. 

We had some dinner made by Dad and chilled on the sofas, Beth wasnt around but we bumped into her as she was leaving for her driving lesson and then work training! 

Another trip where we chilled a lot! I feel bad but where I'm pregnant and not as energetic, I made these trips very different to usual but I for one still thoroughly enjoyed them. 

The next day we got up and ready to have a wander around the Trafford Centre, which was really nice and we bought the baby some little books.. which dad then dropped out of the car by accident and scruffed them up lol!! Not that it matters at all, just funny cos it was dad haha. 

We had a mooch about and bought few bits here and there.. Ant got a new coat which rustles really loudly so he is now called Russle. 

We got some grub together at the end of the day which was beaut cos I had a massive jacket potato and prawn mayo which is one of my faves ever! Man I love food so much.... 

Then home to chill.. we tried to watch a film but I (again) couldnt hack it and fell asleep. 

The next day was cuddles and chills until me and Ant had to leave.. it was so nice seeing them, as it always is. This time actually felt more special because we were busy out and about, we chatted a lot and I dunno, was just lovely! 

Then we were on our way home.. sadly... but also very excited to see our bathroom and our cats! So it was nice to have something to look forward to. 

We got home and oh my dear gawwwd hunny! So in love with the bathroom.. here's the before and after pics. Ginette and Albert are amazing! We are SO grateful.
