Bug hunting and waterfights • Summer Holifay Project 2016 #6 & #7

-
I know that I didn't post yestersay so I am going to put both days together. I had a really bad evening and night but have got myself back into a happier mood.

So yesterday we went down to Lil's great grandparents for Liam to help fix there camper and a general catch up. Lilly was not on her best behaviour sadly but we did get some time bug hunting.


We didn't find a lot as it had not long rained but we persisted and started lifting the plant pots to look. All in all we found lots of woodlouse, an ear wig which I found quite fascinating to look at, a few baby spiders and lots of ants too.


Today we went over to Liam's parents caravan where Lil's great grandparents where there too. We played in her sand pit and played with Nanny's dog. 

Then Lil's dissapeared and I found her helping her great grandad water the plants so left them to it. Next thing there was a lot of giggling and screaming, her grandad (as she calls him) had found a water pistol and he was chasing her with it. 

She managed to get the water pistol off of him and was chasing him, it was the cutest thing to watch and listen too.


The only problem was is that she started trying to get me too, which was so funny as I kept hiding.

We have had a lovely family weekend and have a week packed with things to do which I am pretty excited about :).

I am sorry that there wasn't a post yesterday but I will be back to normal tomorrow. 

xXx

BHP Show 2016 • Lydden Hill

-

The last time I visited the BHP show I was pregnant with Lil's and it was only a one day event. This year I got to take my baby back to see it for herself and enjoy two days there instead, including a COLD night of camping.  The BHP show is (I believe) a yearly event which takes place at Lydden Hill Race Circuit. This is about 1 hour and a half drive from our house so not too far for us to go, Lilly was as good as gold travelling both there and back, but then again she slept the whole way back.  The show wasn't as good as back in 2012 due to the lack of demo's but the Drift Allstars team were amazing and made Lilly scream with joy after a silly 5 minutes of being scared.  On the Sunday we took a look around the pits, that's a big reason why we like Lydden hill is because of the open pits. There were so many nice cars both drift cars and track day cars too. Lilly was very excited especially aboutt the purple one pictured below.  There was a giant

The importance of a smear test

Last month I got my first 'invitation' to have the cervical cancer screening, or smear test as it is commonly known. I was a little surprised as I am on 24 but phoned up straight away to book an appointment.  To me this is so inportant as it could potentially save your life. The test takes about 5 minutes, and even though it's unpleasent, in my eyes it's necessary. I am now in tge waiting period for my letrer to say weather or not I am clear of abnormal cells. It can take up to 21 days for the letter after your appointment and you will hear either way.  The nurse that I had was so calming she showed the equipment and explained exactly what she was going to do. She could tell I was nervous but she kept re-assuring me and just telling me to breath and relax. I am so relieved that it is done and hope that everything is ok. But I just wanted to write this for everyone who has had the invite. Come on ladies Take it! Book an appointment and have th

Being a carer for my parents

Both my parents have mobility issues and are bithnow in wheelchairs. Since I can remember my Mum has been in a wheelchair due to have a very worn hip joint which she was born with.  When I was in year 9 my Dad's back started to hurt and progressivly got worse to the point where he struggled to get out of bed. I am now classed as a carer to my mum which is important for me, my mum is very stubborn and sometime I have to have a little nag to get her to do things. I don't see my parents in any other way than just my parents, if that makes sense. My Mum is an amazing person who makss me proud every day. Due her lack of mobility she also has other health problems which she can control with tablets and lifestyle changes.  My Dad is still constantly on the go with his veterans and the local carnival which he does every year using his mobility scooter as his base for his structure. He does feel it after he compeltes things but I think it gives him motivation to
