Mummy's Little Boy

22.04.11 6 days old

17.04.11 Day after birth

I've been looking back over the last year with my little man in pictures from the very first day to this week eating ice cream. I can't believe how quickly this first year has gone with only two weeks until Ollie's first birthday.

The changes so far are massive so I can't imagine what another year will bring. A Few pics here to share my year so far with the little guy.

03.06.11 about 6 weeks old

My last Friday with just me and my little man before the changes begin. Hubby finishes work today and I will start back on Wednesday, what timing. At least it will be daddy looking after little man for a bit which makes it a little easier on me in the mornings as I won't have to rush around getting myself and little man ready then drop him off at a childminder then for me to get to work on time. I think I would have been exhausted before my day even started.
It is a daunting feeling going back to work after a year off although as I said last week I think I may need it as the whinging is starting to get to me especially when it's a lot of the day it starts to grate on you.

19.06.11 2 months old

I think Ollie is getting to the stage where he needs a lot more  stimulation as his toys do not seem to be enough, some days the toy box we keep downstairs is left alone all day, he even seems fed up with his Jumperoo.
I've been trying to get him out and about mixing with other children which he seems to enjoy and he's loving the soft play centres but it's not something you can do everyday so at the moment he seems happy emptying my shoe box, playing with empty boxes and balloons I have left over from my birthday. Sometimes the simple things are the best.

24.09.11 5 months

Over the past week Ollie has decide he wants to walk the majority of the time now which is so sweet because he has this grin on his face when he does it. We nipped into the supermarket quickly the other day and all Ollie wanted to do was get down and walk so we let him and he actually walked the full length of the isle but as soon as I picked him up he screamed the place down (nightmare).

28.09.11

02.10.11

17.01.12 9 Months Old

He was given his first pair of shoes yesterday which we need to test out, hopefully he will not scream the house down like he normally does when he has socks on. I can't always put sleep suits on him now because of the feet he screams and screeches until I take it off.
It's utter madness I feel like this house is never quiet anymore because this little person will not allow it.

24.03.12

Well I hope you like the pictures I have so many more but these are just a sneaky peak of me and Ollie over the year.

Outfit No 3 Under £20

Another week another outfit I would like to share with you for under £20.
I wore this yesterday as the sun was out and I wanted to feel glam.

The Outfit

• Navy dress with red lady bugs all over from New Look. I paid £8 in the sale, originally £24.99.

• Red ballerina pumps from Primark at £4 (I wore these in week 1 also).

• Skinny Belt £2 form Tesco

The whole outfit is for £14 now that must be a record.
 

I would love to find out what you think out there.

Next Sale Purchases

So what did everyone buy in the Next Sale? I went Saturday as I had a voucher to spend from my birthday.

Jersey Dress

I was looking for a this black and white dress that I hoped I would find in the sale as I mentioned in my Sale Rumour post. It was knowhere to be seen on the rails instore but I just had a browse online (don't know why I did that) and it is on the online sale at £15. So...so tempting but it says it should be dispatched within 6 weeks, that's too long I might not like it then, or what if it looks rubbish I may not be able to take it back.

Stripe Skinny Jeans

 My Buys:

These were a risk but something dragged me to them and I couldn't put them down. The picture doesn't do them justice but they are red skinny jeans with thin black stripes. I got them home and they look great a little tight around the waist but as my hubby said nothing but a little exercise will sort that out, he likes them so I think they are keeps. They were £32 and in the sale at £16.

Black Spot Bag

I also found this brilliant black bag it was £28 but reduced to £14 it was the only one there and it has polka dots ha! This will be my new going back to work bag.

Spot Metallic T-shirt

My final purchase was this Spot Metallic T-Shirt, it was £18 reduced to £8. I'm not 100% sure on this because of the colour but it was one of those items I didn't want to put back. If not 100% sure should I take it back? 

I said to myself a few months back do not buy anything that you aren't sure of, don't need or doesn't make you feel your best. I don't think I listen to myself.

Oh dilemma's and decisions.

One Friday Left

Sleeping...yay!

Oh my I only have one Friday left being at home with my little terror. Only a couple of months ago I had tears at the thought of it, I couldn't bare it but the last few weeks have been very testing and it's made me wonder if going back to work will be a god send after all.

It will be nice to get dressed up and not get messed up by grubby hands for once and have a little freedom to be me again. I also need a break from saying no Ollie, don't do that, leave it alone...no...no...no Ollie.

Kidsworld

In an ideal world I would prefer part time so I have the best of both worlds as I do like to be able to go out when I like and take the little man to see and do things especially now he's heading for one he is interested in the world around him.

Yesterday we went to kidsworld which he loved. It was quite an eye opener for me as most of the kids there seemed to be with childminders but they were chatting and drinking coffee while the kids got on with it. No wonder they pestered me which was alittle annoying when I wanted to be with my child with "whats your name", "can you push me", "can you...." , uh leave me alone. It just made me think do we really pay silly amounts on childcare for the carers to just sit there nattering. I really do think Mummy and daddy really are best, so whatever the future holds for us I would like to avoid childcare as much as possible and work it between myself and my husband. 


As I start back at work my hubby leaves his work (redundancy) so he will be looking after Ollie the explorer until he finds himself another job which I reckon by the first or second day at home he will be longing to escape because I have a feeling he may just pull the rest of his hair out.

Friday Wish List - Week 3

I'm mad on shoes this week especially heels as they make you feel glam and that's just what I need at the moment even though I wouldn't be able to wear them for long. Wedges are a little easier to walk in so here are a few on my wish list this week.

I'm lusting after these tan wedges at the moment they are pretty high but very light (I did try them on) so it is a shall I, shan't I dilemma. Only £16 from Matalan plus they sent me a 10% discount card so I'm swaying to Shall I?

I'm imagining myself wearing these in the summer with jeggings or a maxi dress. Oh doesn't summer officially begin on Sunday.......umm!

Sherbet Polka Dot

Oh.....look at these from the New Look range called Babysham at a whooping £49.99. Definitely a wish item as I couldn't justify a spend of £50 on a pair of shoes I wouldn't be wearing often. They would look great though I'd team them up with leggings or a dress to show them off.

Bow Stripe Wedges

They have my favourite Polka Dots so who wouldn't want a pair.

They also have some ballerina pumps in this range see all at New Look.

Monroe

Loving these heels they are called "Monroe" at a reasonable £34.99 you can get these from Deelicious also on found on Facebook. A very tempting pair of heels, as they are quirky and it's nice to see something different  plus with Deelicious they stock fab handbags as well just to tempt you even more. 

Loren

In my first First Friday Wish List I was lusting over "Loren" Wedges (I still want them),I want both.

That's it for this Friday's wish list - please do share your wish list.


Come back next week for more.
