So the things I changed were:-
One; Go shopping for Tyler. Buy him bits and bobs for when he is born or after.. Whatever I can carry.
Two; Take Lilia out for the day in the nice weather, maybe go to a park or a play area.
Three; I didn't really set anything as task three because I didn't know what time I would be home or what I would feel like doing.. When I got home my back was in pieces, and so was my leg (still is).. So I decided I'd just do the basics where it didn't involve me moving much.
The review...
Task One;
So I went shopping around the whole of town for Tyler. I managed to pick up a babygrow, which will be the first one he ever wears. It was £10!! But it's a Superbaby one and so cute, so I figured it was worth it. I bought two packs of pads for myself for when he is here, though I know I will definitely need more so I will probably pick some more up the next time I go shopping or to town, etc. I already have two boxes of breast pads, so I figured that would keep me going for a while and didn't buy any more. I also bought some dummies for him since they were on offer, and if he is anything like his sister he will love them, ha ha. And I bought a box of nappies and a four-pack of wetwipes. I wanted to buy more but couldn't carry them :( So I will probably pick up more wetwipes and maybe another box of nappies the next time I'm shopping. I have cotton wool here already :}. I feel good about the amount I bought considering it was just me and Lilia with the pram, and I bought other stuff too. All I need to get now for when he is born is toiletries for my hospital bag really. Feels good to be getting a bit organised now!
Task Two;
I invited my friend out to town with me, suggesting we do something with our little girls (they are only like two weeks apart, it's the friend I usually mention, ha ha) and she said we should go to a little play area in town... I met up with her, her boyfriend, and her daughter and we walked around town with the babies for a bit first. I asked when we were going to go to Once Upon A Playtime (the play area) and she replied with "I just need to go to Boots and Mothercare and then we will go." I agreed, and we went to those shops.. In Mothercare my friend found a trike for her little girl.. She bought it with a voucher and money her daughter had for her first birthday, and I said "where are you going to put it to take the babies to the play area?" The woman behind the desk offered to keep it in store until she had finished everything she needed to do in town.. But my friend said no! She wanted to carry it. Then when we left the shop, her boyfriend said "right, are we going up my mums then?" My friend yes, waved goodbye to me and left!! I was so annoyed, and to be honest I still am today. I just couldn't believe it, I won't be inviting her anywhere again in a hurry! Lilia isn't very confident on her own in the play area, and neither am I.. I don't like leaving the pram and stuff alone to go into the soft play with her unless they are very close by.. So we didn't go there. She had a day out in the nice weather though, and once we got home she was so glad. So I guess she had a nice day anyway, we also visited my parents.
Task Three;
I was aching so much when I got in I didn't feel like doing much, but the usual daily chores had to be done.. So I swept the floor, picked up Lilia's toys, cleared any dishes and washed them, took the recycling out ready to be collected in the morning, and wiped the kitchen surfaces. I decided I would wait to sweep the kitchen and to mop all of the floors until the morning because I was in pain. I felt I needed to do something else because I kind of felt like I cheated my third task by doing things I needed to do every day anyway.. So I folded all my laundry (usually I leave it until last minute, ha ha) and sorted out my ironing. I took the laundry upstairs (haven't put it away yet, typical!) and emptied the clutter out from the landing. I didn't really do much at all, but at least I did something I suppose!
