RIP Mitch

Today we went swimming with sash and Freya - melody is more and more helpful - carrying things and putting things away

Went for a nap and got the horrible news my cousin Michelle died last night - she's only 43 :( she had breast cancer a while ago but was given the all clear - but it came back :( she leaves a 4 year old daughter - both of whom are in this pic taken at a family party last year - so devastated. I was crying on the phone and melody woke up and was kissing me all over - made me count my blessings

Life goes on and whilst I didn't feel up to it - I took melody to the children's centre party who were celebrating their successful offstead inspection. Buffet food - melody ate hardly anything of substance but enjoyed beakers and beakers if juice (usually on the prohibited list)

Then I picked up my stolen prada bag - which had been handed in!

Then to a barbican pub for AST leaving drinks - will be wierd at work without them.. And more cordial for melody :(

Then mike and melody ate dinner and I went to pan Asia with sash Dionne and Cath - had good laugh and ate loads today!!

This pm melody wouldn't settle and woke at 12 crying - eventually I went to bed with her and mike and got her to sleep - but she was v fidgety - I swear it's the juice...
