Bumpy
18/04/2009 by stupidgirl_no1.
I am now excited about being pregnant - have started to “show” (although one of the solicitors called me “fat” this week which is still smarting). A lovely lady has loaned me her maternity clothes, this morning I tried some on and liked them so much I am still wearing them.
So exciting. I now have some clothes, a maternity pillow, a baby carrying sling thing (2 pressies from Bryan), a car seat (from a Freecycle friend), a comforter musical teddy (Lucas and Nicole love his so decided my baby needed one too!) and various useful looking books. Will try not to buy anything else for a while now, will hopefully pick up some free/cheap essentials before we get to baby birth day and keep the costs down - I’m not too proud! And we can’t afford to spend 18k on wee one’s first year like the report this year says you need to! Yikes!

Thank you Scottish Ballet
18/04/2009 by stupidgirl_no1.
I signed up for the Scottish Ballet street team, basically this means I help with selling merchandise, or anything else they ask me to do, when they are in town. I helped with Sleeping Beauty in January and was there for 3 of the performances. In between selling merchandise in the intervals I was allowed in to watch the ballet, which was fab as I got to see it from 3 different seats - so giving very different view points and ensuring the chance to see every bit of action going on. With ballet its often difficult to take it all in at the same time so I really loved this chance to see it “in stereo” so to speak.
It was exciting as I also got back stage, moving the merchandise trunk around. I saw some of the costumes (and touched some in passing!) and saw the dancers as they prepared for the show.
All most awesome and amazing, and yes I will be helping with the Carmen tour!
However the joy doesn’t stop there, as a thank you for being so helpful I have also been sent a wonderful gorgeous present!
They are signed by the wonderful and talented Claire Robertson - who certainly must have worn them out!!
