Hey girlies!
Oh my word what a crap couple of days I have had!! Well as you know we woke up with no power yesterday which meant no heating or anything. Sat in the freezing cold, me and Holly under blankets until the afternoon when the bloke came to fix it. Then our internet decided to pack up and stop working. So we all go to bed last night and the next thing I know, Matt is waking me at 6am saying he can smell gas. We walked out of our bedroom and OMG the house was full of gas!! I went downstairs and checked that I hadn't left the hob on or something but I hadn't, so Matt rang national grid whilst I got Holly's stuff together, bundled her up and walked her in the pram into town to a cafe whilst Matt waiting outside the house freezing his backside off! The gas people said to open all windows and doors and isolate the gas and Matt said it got down to minus 2 in the house! Bloody freezing. Anyway, they said it was affecting a large area of Bolton so it would take longer for the engineer to get here. It took him 4 hours!! So he came and tested everything and said it was due to a burst gas main up the road from us, which caused a surge. So most of the gas had come from outside, but some would have come through our appliances due to a surge. Fortunately we kept our bedroom door closed last night, we usually keep it open but the cat stayed in (he usually goes out all night) so we kept it shut. I can't bear to think about what would have happened if we'd have left it open, we might not have woken up and poor Holly would have breathed it in. It was so strong it made me feel sick from being in it for just 5 minutes!
Sooo we've had a bit of a day! On the plus side Matt took the rest of the day off so we spent a nice afternoon together playing with Holly.
I can't remember all the personals.... Louise I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant and I haven't started again and I don't think I will. Before I got pregnant I wanted to quit but kept making excuses not to, so it was like the perfect reason to stop for good. I don't really think about it much any more, which I'm pleased about as I was a heavy smoker before since I was 16. I can totally see why people start up again though, I sometimes crave the 10 minutes in my own head that smoking used to give me.
I can't remember anything else!! Plenty of takers for secret santa!! Will get Matt to draw the names out of a hat on Sunday and message everyone. Excited! I wonder who I'll get!
Right going to get going for now and chill out, it's been a long day!
Hugs to all xx
