Wow... 3 months old!

So I have been totally useless at blogging since the arrival of my beautiful daughter Maria. Free time is scarce and when I do have it I often like to pass the time washing up (that was a joke by the way).

Today I have mislaid my phone and unable to text friends in my spare ten mins therefore I have come to my blog to do a well needed blog entry!

Last weekend just passed we went to a wedding and took Maria. It was her first weekend away and I have to say she was very very good considering how old she is. The problem really was with her parents! It took us all day Friday to pack. When you pack for a three month old you literally have to pack everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink. The car was packed with everything from Calpol to Cheeky Monkey (Maria's fav toy... or is that daddies?).

We hit the road missing the rush hour traffic by a full five minutes. Yay. As soon as we got to the end of our road we were sitting in traffic. The traffic continued on the M25 and then to the M40. Four hours later, after a feed and freshen up in Macdonalds (not just Maria) we arrived in Ettington near Stratford on Avon. Maria's routine was completely shot to pieces but at least the journey was cry less as she slept most of the way. Peace comes at strange times!

The wedding went well and the only thing I forgot was the washing up liquid to wash up Maria's bottles. Minor thing. We had to drive half an hour to find civilisation (a shop that is) and found some good 'ol Fairy Liquid. I am glad we travelled up early in the end, even if it was a bit of a mission.

Right, Miss Maria is stirring and I am not even dressed yet so best I stop wasting time on this!

I will try and update a bit more regularly now as Maria's Gran is in Egypt and will want regular updates on her grand daughters progress!

Also Net, if you read this today, thanks for lending me your dress! Will talk soon xx
