That was the name of a band in the 90s- not sure if it is still going. And it is how I feel today! Worked straight through lunch in meetings from 10-2 so i feel i am owed 10 mins to post a blog! It is either v busy here or v boring. Why cant it be a nice balance more of the time?
We are off to the House of Lords tonight for a reception held by Cancer Research. I think it is because we donate regularly- perhaps more than the average person or perhaps because our surname begins with A- who knows! But looking forward to that. And as I work v v close to there anyway it is extremely convenient! Usually the opportunities I get to go into that building are to do with Simon's political interests/ activities (which have had to stop when in his current post anyway- thank goodness I say!) which clearly I have fundamental issues of principle with so I tend not to go. This is nice and uncontroversial and I am looking forward to it!
We have now bought a car seat for our baby. Not mentioning all the things we havent yet bought- trying to do it gradually by thinking carefully about each thing and whether we need it at all and if so, how posh/new/expensive it should be! Even this one which we decided needed to be brand new and where we were going to spare no expense we ended up getting the old version of the Britax CosyTot isofix seat (from birth- the only isofix from birth i believe!) rather than the new one as we saved nearly 50quid!
Has anyone seen 24? We have started to watch it recently on DVD (borrowed from a friend). It is so addictive! One episode in an evening is v hard to stick to- although we have managed that so far. Very tense and very good. I recommend it!
28 week blood tests with the mid-wife tomorrow (as well as all the normal checks) so I get to work from home. hurrah!
