Not a major success, more like a getting through the week and surviving type success.

I had a fab time in London and it was so so good to catch up with friends, talk about non mum things and be "me" again even if it was just for a day or so.  Then it was back to mum life with a bang. Ismay has been somewhat challenging this last week and has developed what I have decided to call a new war cry....it's a kind of constant droning which tends to come when unhappy!  Bless her.   I can't decide if it is teething or the after effects of MMR but I am definitely hoping for better this week.  Or is this just the transition to toddler-dom?!  My trip to London already seems like a distant memory.  Ha!

Shopping wise London was darn tasty.  I got the awesome shirt and floral dungarees from M&S (thanks for the help lovely Linzi) and some shiny shoes.  I also fell in love with Weekday body elastic skinny jeans.  I can't breathe in them which must mean they are excellent at sucking everything in.  Bravo Weekday.  Ooh and I got my nose pierced.  I love it.  And yes it did hurt but not as much as child birth and I now compare all painful things to that!

This week the mister is off to Nashville (my wannabe spiritual home so I am insanely jealous) so Ismay and I are heading back to Scotland (totes the same as Nashville!) for a week.  I have never been away with Ismay for a week and it appears we will need quite a lot of things.  Oh my.  I can tell it will be lists a-go-go for the next few days.

Here are a few photos from Ismay was not war crying and we were both jolly;)
