Pampering

Today I finally redeemed a Marriott spa voucher I was lucky enough to get for my birthday. My birthday was in August! But with a new baby, my 3rd child, I just haven't had chance to go till now.

I had a back and shoulder massage to ease my aching shoulder (from all the baby bouncing) and a manicure for my dried-out old lady hands (from the frequent, post nappy change, hand washing). It was lovely to have a couple of hours away by myself but it doesn't take long to come back to reality. My shoulder aches again already and it's going to take a lot of moisturiser to soothe my dry hands.

They're all in bed now, not quite asleep but almost. I've got a glass of wine in hand and Ireland v France on tv. Let's hope my greens get a better result this week!
