sounds like we should hit selfridges jeans department together as i want to go but not sure it will work with a toddler.

or, better still, perhaps we should find some jeans somewhere else!!

and you’re brave even going into matches. i know that one and i always just walk past!!

I once visited Le Pain Quotidien in New York and had a lovely breakfast. But anyways about your day…I can totally relate….ah the adventures of motherhood.

This sounds like a very mean day- glad you have your holiday to make you feel better xx

Sorry this is late- I’ve been all over the place with moves etc the past couple of weeks. I’m so sorry you had a pretty horrid day. I hope your holiday is wonderful and London is much nicer when you come back.

By the way to me you don’t look in any way old and you REALLY shouldn’t feel that way at all- you are a fabulous yummy mummy.

I am rather having the opposite problem with a friend who had a baby last year. I tried to be in touch when the baby came but not bother her you know, I thought she would need to find routine and calling and texting all the time would be annoying- but I did visit several times in the first weeks and keep in touch by texting. She has kind of vanished off the face of the earth and now that the baby is 9 months or so am pretty sure she could text etc. It’s not just me all of her friends pre the baby are the same- we have even been worried she might be depressed but her Mother says she is okay just probably caught up etc (we all went to school together). Any advice gratefully appreciated!

and well deserved Cava it was too. i hate shop assistants like that, why are they either so mean or so ineffectual?

We share a name! Mine is Cava too! (My middle names are Chardonnay, Vouvray, Pinot Grigio…)

Sounds like one of my normal days at the moment, except Top Shop would have been too pricey and I’d be painting those walls myself whilst balancing the baby! I always think nightmare days are counterbalanced by fabulous days, they are a small price to pay. SO there will be a totally amazing dress and pair of jeans out there with your name on the, a fab lunch date with a lovely companion and a sleeping baby through it all just around the corner.
Having lots of friends is like having too much cheap chocolate, keep it with quality not quantity, even if it means a few cancelled lunch dates and a few days alone. Failing that, give me a ring I don’t have much of a life xx

Mummy etiquette: NEVER ever cancel at the last minute, especially when there are dear friends and babies involved! I can so recall that feeling of ‘OK, pick myself up, head out alone, I will have as nice a time…’ But its never quite the same. What a brave little post – hope the Cava helped

Selfriges need to sort their staff out clearly (said by someone who has worked in retail management). That’s very poor customer service, well none whatsoever actually and a wasted sale.

But I disgress…

I know when one thing goes wrong in my day it is usually downhil from then on! And I remember how difficult getting anywhere with a pushchair was.

After a run of bad luck everything has to go right now. Life has a funny way of balancing things out. xx
