Christmas shopping

I managed to get a good nights sleep last night and even though I woke a few times during the night I did not feel too tired when I got up.

I got ready and went for what I thought was an 11.05 train. It was really cold and unfortunately I forgot to put Wolfies gloves on. This made him cranky which in turn made me cranky. I was even crankier when I then realised that three must not be an 11.05 train on a Saturday. By the time I realised this it was to late to go back home, as I would have had to walk back to the train station as soon as I got in the house.

I sat and held Wolfies hands to keep him warm while we waited for the train. Fortunately Wolfie was happy while I was holding his hands.

Thankfully my shopping trip went a lot better and when we arrived I went and got some really cute going home outfits for the twins (I will post pictures tomorrow) along with hats, booties, and mittens. I also got a lot of funky clothes for Wolfie as he needs some new tops and trousers. He has enough clothes for now but this will save me going out when the twins are newborn.

I went to other shops and got Christmas cards, wrap, a present for someone. I decided to get a quilt for Devil boy and I, as the one we have been using has really had its day now. I managed to get a quilt with pillows for £13. I also got two more pillows and some for me to put the twins on when I feed them. They were also a bargain at £2.50 per pack of two pillows.

I decided at this point that I would go back home as I was not only feeling tired but one of the binos had moved onto a nerve which meant my hip hurt with every step. I did not manage to get everything that I was after but I will be able to make one more shopping trip without Wolfie to get these.

I am planning on having a very restful night, as I am totally exhausted. I am aching with ever move (I am hoping that a good soak in the bath will ease the aches) I have managed to put new bedding on the quilt.

Tonight I am going to try and clear up a little and if I can make some progress with cutting out the golfer for dads collage but I am not sure that I will have the energy to do anything tonight except have a bath and relax.
