    Only if you have time to use it :)

    I agree! I need to find time to do Wii Fit. Although I think I will just try to book 1 exercise class per week as if it's booked, I will have to go to it and leave OH to look after Holly. I will always find other things to do if I am in the house and during the day, my time is all taken up with H.

    Caz - whereabouts are you?

    It was good. Well, there were no tears anyway. I wouldn't say she loved it, but she was happy enough. Seemed to like the jets of water in the jacuzzi bit of the baby pool best. It wasn't very warm but we were in for about 20 minutes. She was quite happy in the changing room (although it was a bit minging!)

    Did you go yourself yesterday? How did you manage to put stuff in lockers whilst minding K? I don't know what I would do on my own.

    Kev was off yesterday. Would have really struggled if he wasn't since K was screaming his face off! K has a wee wetsuit thing and we were in about 35mins ish by which point I was eyeing up the cafe and K was ready for lunch!

    Are you near the time capsule?

    everyone's tales of trouble taking babies swimming is quite bad really isn't it, you'd think they'd want to look after you so you keep going.
    Our local pool has mother n baby changing area with a play area or something so there's no faffing (so my mate tells me! I'd never go swimming nevermind take my kids lol)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    My pool has all that, fancy seats on the wall and changing mats and stuff. I manage to faff wherever I go!

    I did say to OH yesterday that I didn't think I'd manage on my own and he pointed out that I used to with DD before I met him when she was 5 so I suppose I'm just out of the single parent mindset and take advantage now of having an OH!
    I suppose I've become quite dependant on him I for helping out with stuff that I used to do myself but thats what hes there for after all :)
