What a week......my last at my desk!!!
What else is there to do on your last day at work, lets face it, not a lot of real work is going to get done.
Might as well blog the weeks news:
First of all can i tell you the elation i felt this morning, when i had to get out of bed to a ringing alarm, for the very last time (for the foreseeable future), yes i know I'll be up all night with baby, but better that than the rat-race of sat at a desk for 8 1/2 hrs a day............surely?
I like my job, but it's people being in charge of your time, imagine how it would feel to come and go as you please! heaven.
Where was i? oh yeah!
Monday 26th
After our horrific nights kip, was like death all day at my desk, but Andy had done the deed and his good mood was contagious from to.time and onwards, can't remember what i did at work in the day, Fiona (Chris's nurse) phoned and said I'd to go over Tuesday to get tooth seen to..........boo! quite ironic the drugs had kicked in and it had stopped aching, but Chris was panicking it'd flare up again (while i was in labour or something).
Late to bed as i could lie-in the next day......yippee!
Tuesday 27th
Up at 6.30am, to natter to the boy, again at 9am to txt in sick, then again at 10.30am...for real.
Vacced living room, sided clean washing, had breakfast, called at the Mother's at dropped off Jim 90 golf balls.
Hit the M62, was 10 mins late by the time i arrived in Wilmslow, we chatted, he extracted, stopped the bleeding, wiped the blood from my mouth, we waved goodbye and i was home by 4. Bathed, ya di ya.......decided we needed a new living room carpet, phoned Alan who said he was thinking of putting up the rent, now the "drive" is finished, Grrrr! i don't even have a car anymore to park in the fooking thing, i'll buy my own carpet you c*nt! Deep breaths.
T.time, Andy went to the Gym, fish for tea, i was pulling the curtains and spotted a howge barn owl in the tree, was v.excited and yelled for Andy, he went out with the camera......reight do, couldn't wait to tell Marlene. Helen phoned saying she was bored of waiting for baby to arrive......funny! chatted away for a good hour, Andy chelping in "we're not naming our child Annabelle as Bella is too much like Bell end" said goodnight to Ollie, up the stairs and the marathon Shameless finale.....v.poor, asleep before midnight.
Wednesday 28th
Put in 1/2 day at work (it's enough for me), had a very stressful time, my mind is really busy tying up loose ends and i seem to be meeting myself coming backwards. Parked in town and opened up a new bank account, that's more convenient, it took for fooking ever, caught car wing mirror coming out of multi-story, that's only prang no.10 in as many months.......thank the lord they've taken if off me, before i wrote it off, never had any luck with black cars.....worse so since i turned into babybrain!
Home to a letter from Sky plus, saying if we don't get a phone line put in upstairs they'll charge us an extra £26 a month, oh lordy lord, why didn't sky engineer who installed the box tell us this? more stress!!
Andy home at 5.30pm, we wolfed down soup and bacon butties, with cream cakes for baby, quick change and off to DDH for our parent craft/antenatal classes....tee hee! how funny? Andy begrudging paid the £3 parking, then asked how much it would cost him to park when i was in labour, or would we get a special dispensation?
Anyhew, the class was very informative, glad we went.......2 hours of labour talk, to introduce ourselves we had to say what we did and didn't like about us/our partner being pregnant..........Andy was quite the comedian, making people chortle.
The class ended with the stork walk, all fine until we passed the deliver suite with bloody footprints all over the floor, after passing 10 or so midwives/staff sitting round drinking tea and reading Take a break!
Said Au revoir till next week to our 26 new best friends, sidestepping the hippy couple who's favourite thing about being pregnant was "when their baby danced to the same music they both liked...........okay then".
Home for 9.40pm, straight to bed after listening to Sar's message about being out at that time of night....tee hee!
DHW's and asleep before midnight.
Thursday 1st
White rabbit, white rabbits...Oh my god, 1st thought of the day...........I'm having a baby next month.
Work was fine, handed my car back........and was given a nippy silver golf for my last day.
All much of a nowtness at work, only me and Dave in.........long day! spent most of it emailing/txting, Matt, Ruth,Suggy, Sarah, Rach, Kay....couldn't keep up, never been so popular... Got Andy a new tool box from work, for his new job.....hahhhaaa!
Went to Morrison's at lunch, to save us a job last night...home for 6pm, after saying farewell to David who's gone skiing, bit weird your boss trying to hug you.
He was full of it last night, having broken up for a few weeks sabbatical....he does bloody right, a full evening of domesticity ensued, tea, baths, mopping, unpacking shopping, wash on, blah blah..........no sign of Ollie owl :o( chops for tea, i ironed his shirt for the sportsman's dinner tonight.
Bed at 9pm, bonkers and Benidorm.............so so sleepy, left him watching the darts when i dropped off.
Friday 2nd
Andy had his hours lie-in then was up and off to work with Jim, he was whistling away (don't know whether this was down to relief leaving his last job, or the early morning nookie).
Last day at my workplace, brought the Golf back, thought it would be a quiet one, twas not to be, have been inundated with txts, inter flora, emails, chocs and cards.........eeh i wish I'd finished all my Xmas chocolates now!
Went to buy a gym ball in my dinner hour and got a final parking ticket coz i was on double yellows....serve me right, might contest it and say i went into labour!
Txt Suggy as my gum is really sore and it's keeping me from my shuteye and favourite hobby of scoffing anything i can lay my hands on........Rhian phoned back to say, go back to see Chris or my GP (Marlo fetching me at 4pm and we're off to the quacks for some antibiotics).
More dramas..Steven told me Kay has booted husband out for cheating, fooking ell, they're all at it!!!
Andy phoned at lunch, i got a bit tearful, then realised it was being stoopid......he'd never!
He was having a swell time, with my Father doing a house clearance and laying a bit of floor covering.......(wonder if he shared his pack-up with my Dad?).
Phone going again like billio, Dean........do i want to go to the pub tonight, oh call me boring but that's the last thing i feel like doing!!!
Got in touch with Kay, she's coming round next week as I'm stranded indoors without vehicle....mind you lots of events on the calender.
Night in tonight as he's off to the Sportsman's dinner, tomorrow it's Auntie Pauline's 60th.....wtf?
Sunday Steven is taking us to Brid, lots of baby stuff on next week.........scan on Tues, more parent craft,then our health visitor is coming to check out our home (she looks so much like Andy's Mum it's uncanny........oh that's right it is her).
So quite a full week, to say I'm meant to be on wind down.
Roll on Monday when i can put my feet up.........note to self, resist trips to B&Q for paint to start decorating kitchen.
See you folks.
