Oh dear.My purge. I sat down here over the weekend to show you some lovely baby nurserys ( because lets be honest- there is not much going on in my head right now other than this bump) I have been hording on Pinterest.But it didnt quite work that way when my fingers met the keyboard.
Still, I hope I am not the only one who sometimes feels as though nothing ever quite works out the way they thought it would. Something that has been three years of working, waiting and an astounding amount of effort from my husband, got bumped a bit. Not something we are really in the mood for.
He deserves it and damn it, we deserve it. So when I sat down to chat to you I shared that.
On a much perkier note, I finally succeeded at getting myself one of these posters. Do you ever find that as much as you might lust after something, once it is out there everywhere you turn, it takes the gloss off it for you? I do that all the time. Movies, books, recipes, clothes.
This poster I had in my hands when I stood in the fabulous shop at the Imperial War Museum in London. But I put it back.
Last week I thought, you know what? I dont have my London terrace and my white floorboards and my spaniel ( I sound like a total Anglophile dont I??)
But.
I can have this poster draped in some fairy lights to enjoy every time I enter my lounge or sit in my kitchen.
So there you have it. Success. And looking at it up there all sparkly and "I'm here" I feel completely and utterley calm.
Now isnt that something. xx
*Deep sincere apologies for the absolutely RUBBISH photo taken on my phone. The thought of waddling up the other end of the house to find my camera was all a bit much. A cup of tea was closer to where I was!
I do that all the time (not the waddle... :) ... the being put off bit) but that poster is great. I have one.
It's a good mantra.

I love that poster! Mine has been at my Dad's for almost a year now, I'm desperate to get it back. Belated congratulations on your pregnancy :) x
