im bored!!!
don't really know why im posting this (probably coz im bored,lol!) but i am soooooo bored, live in a little village where there is nothing to do, cant really call it a village though as its just a few houses that run alongside a main road! my oh uses the car for work so can't go anywhere and im going stir crazy!!! i do a bit of housework and play with charlie (which i love!!!!) but it would be nice to have a break from the house or have something interesting to do when i manage to get a bit of me time whilst at home.
what do you girls do if/when you get a bit of 'me time'? xx

I HATE being stuck at home but I have a car so I can at least go and visit my sister most days. I've even spent an afternoon in work this week because I get soooo bored. I've spent this week sorting things for my Mum to flog in her charity shop (she gives me the cash less a bit of commission) and today I walked the boys around the local lake but there are so many days when its too cold. Roll on summer!!!!
I'm always busy with Ruby though which is great fun!! Infact Mondays are our only day off, we go swimming, baby sign lanuage, play group and also once a week me and my friends all meet up at someones house with our babies!
Have you got access to public transport? You could join so groups too! xx
Is there any way you could get the bus to a baby group of some sort? Not that I've been feeling particularly down, but every time I've been out and about I've felt lifted, and like I'm back in the real world (albeit one inhabited entirely by mums & babies). I really, really would recommend it.
I will definately have to get a bus timetable and go into town though. Wow - havn't been on the bus in years, im lost without the car, lol!! Are buses fairly good for pushchairs?

Currently I spend a lot of time at home trying to entertain Oscar, which I love but he takes aaaages to get into new things so it gets very repetative!! He's also horribly grouchy at the moment, so even more averse to new things.
We live near a busy road with only about 100 metres of pavement so I don't like going for walks locally. There's a nice lake to walk round but it's a 20min drive away. I try and pop to the shop at least once a day just to get out. Sometimes I'll do the 30 min drive to Brecon, but there's very little there as well. I do go to a baby group on Wednesdays but there's a very competative mummy there, who's baby's the same age as Oscar, and she scares me!! I hope to start taking him swimming soon, but I'm terrified of getting into a bathing suit!!
If I'm at my mums I often take the park and ride bus into town with the pushchair and have no problems with it! Defintely get on that bus and get out into the world!
Cool!! Was starting to feel like no one would have even heard of where I live, never mind live there too! Looks like Oscar's about the same age as Archie too - he was born 25/10
Archie was born 29.10.08 so yes same age. I'm only 5 miles from the lake and go in everyday as my eldest works in somerfield and he wrote his car off last year. There is a new tots group starting on Weds which is really friendly but I'm also thinking of swimming. Send me an email if you fancy a chat off site (I can't put too much on here due to my job).
