Well I’ve been a bit crap with keeping the blog posts coming over the last week or so, sorry about that. In my defence Polly was sick so I was a bit distracted with things. Basically I think she actually read my last post about accidents and hospital visits and thought she’d try and out do herself. I honestly think she was the sickest she’s ever been, although no hospital trip this time. Instead just a bit of reassurance from the doctor that it really was just a viral infection and a little ear infection too, that the rash that was covering half her body was perfectly harmless, that her breathing would go back to normal once her temperature went back to normal and that she would perk up out of the near coma like state she was in once she’d had a couple of doses of antibiotics. Thankfully all these things did turn out to be true, however it did take a full week for her to be 100% better. So we had a fairly stressful week with Mummy spending 2 nights sleeping on the nursery floor holding her hand through the cot bars and Daddy proving himself to be much better at administering the medicine- years of giving medicines to cows proving to be very useful here.

So, as I say she was all back to normal cheeky Polly mood by Friday which was perfect timing as after my evening shift we loaded up the car, said goodbye to the kitty and hit the road heading for Suffolk. The idea of travelling at night means that at least Polly will sleep which she did. Sadly it’s obviously when we usually sleep too. Henry did amazing and drove the whole way although he did need an hours sleep to recharge at about 1ish. It was an uneventful journey which is always a good thing, I managed to finish my Chinese in the car while he napped and we also used a 4AM toilet stop as a cheeky reason to sneak a McDondalds in, it just meant we had to avoid eye contact with the random drunks in there.

It’s now day 3 in Suffolk and we can currently be found still in PJ’s after just finishing breakfast, Daddy and Polly are watching some cartoons and we are soon heading off to see some friends. Suffolk is where I’m originally from and we both have lots of family and friends here so it’s always a nice trip up where we pack in lots of coffee catch ups and also get a chance to re charge our batteries. We’ve had a busy weekend involving a hilarious meal out with friends who tried to recreate Henry’s stag do by supplying him with various shots at the table, yes this was in Frankie & Benny’s at 6PM, Polly especially thought it was funny and tried to copy Daddy with her milk. How we weren’t actually kicked out I’ve got no idea. Yesterday we had a perfect day at a Christening where I became Godmother to a gorgeous little man called Niall, his mum is Polly’s Godmother and a very dear friend. Polly behaved so well in the church and had a blast running around the village hall afterwards. We then headed to see some family where we pigged out on pizza and chips and Polly was a little flirt with her Auntie Carla’s new boyfriend providing a lot of laughs.

Best head off now as we do need to be dressed to go out, I’ll try not to leave it so long before my next post and I’m sure we’ll have a few more amusing stories to share from our trip up here.
