Insert title here……..

Oh my word, is it really the end of November….it can't be.  It really is true the older you get the quicker the time goes.

Well, I have just over three weeks left in work before Christmas Holidays and then starting my Maternity leave.  In some ways this has come about really quick and in others not so much.  At the moment I think the impending arrival of Baby Bucko hasn't quite sunk in and I am concentrating on Christmas first.  I am sure when that is done reality will start to hit.

Don't get me wrong I am very excited about meeting our little one and becoming our own little family with the fantastic Mr Bus, but it is scary as you can never really know how your life is going to change until it does so.  I don't think I am not looking forward to any aspect of becoming a mother, there are many more pros than there are cons.

Although I am only 30 weeks pregnant today, I really can't wait to get my body back, its just not mine any more.  Although being pregnant is a wondrous thing and the feeling is amazing, at this stage it is also getting tiring and hard work.  You really do think if picking something up off the floor is truly worth it or not.  I suppose I am feeling it more so at the moment as I have a terrible cold to boot, and its not making things any easier.  When you're already getting out of breath quickly, to then have congestion problems due to a cold on top it's not much fun.

The fantastic Mr Bus and I have decided not to find out the sex of our baby either.  I think because it's our first and we really don't care what we have, it will be nice to have a surprise.  Some people say it helps you get more organised and prepared, what a load of tosh unless you plan on subjecting your child to gender stereotypes, which I certainly will not if I can help it.  This is shown clearly with the nursery.  We have left the car wall stickers up from the previous owners of the house as we liked them and they are staying, we have also incorporated the Safari animal theme into the room.  This is great as they are all bright colours which babies respond best to, rather than blooming pastel shades!!!  So we're going with a safari park theme, woop woop.  (Really want to inject some dinosaurs into the room as well…Jurassic Safari Park??…)



Anyway, this wasn't going to be a pregnancy blog post…ha.  Kind of hard to avoid when you're living through it.  I was going to say how much I am missing the Domestic Sluttery blog.

This was a fantastic blog by some fantastic ladies, and although I will admit I was a bit lazy keeping up with their posts, they were always interesting and had something for everyone, I will have to have a trawl of the internet when on leave to see if I can find an equally good blog.

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Pie

I love the autumn and the seasonal vegetables it brings.  One of my favourites being pumpkin.  Well in a nod to this here is my really simple pumpkin and butternut squash pie. 2 bags of pre cut pumpkin and butternut squash (why sweat over cutting them up when Tesco do them in a bag £1 each and 3 for 2) garlic goats cheese spinach filo pastry olive oil salt and pepper to season Steam cook the pumpkin and Butternut squash as directed on the packet.  In a pie dish layer the bottom with spinach, add chunks of goats cheese (as much or little as you like), then add one layer of the pumpkin and butternut squash and some garlic, season. Repeat this for the second layer - spinach, goats cheese, pumpkin and butternut squash, garlic and season. With the filo pastry, for goodness sake buy this, even Mary Berry admitted to doing this!!!  Take a sheet at a time brush each side with olive oil and scrunch up by pinching from the centre and add to the top of the pi...

Dreams

Aren ’t dreams weird? I had the most bizarre one yesterday whilst dozing. I dreamt that I was a Chinese MAN of all things, and I was running my own Chinese restaurant. Then a door swung open showing what looked like the yard behind the Chinese with two big skip bins. By the side of the bins were two men, I somehow had a gun in my hand and shot the two guys and then door swung shut and I carried on running the restaurant as if nothing had happened. I have no idea what this means at all. The shooting I can imagine is from the fact that his nibs was playing a computer game at the time where he was a hit man, but the whole Chinese thing, I have no idea. I am definitely one for crazy dreams though. When I was younger, about 5 or 6 I had a dream I was in school and everyone apart from me had one normal leg and one pig’s leg. I was trying to get out of the school playground but there were people everywhere with a pig’s leg. Even my best friend at the time appeared and asked why I did...
