how many people can you get in an inflatable hot tub?

Well, I did it. I actually accomplished many things this weekend.

We went shopping and bought some tights (bargain in the next sale and will be great in winter), got some new trainers for DH which only cost £20, got 2 Bob the Builder DVDs for £5 and found a present for our friend, a Top Gear make your own amphibious vehicle model kit. Yes it was from a children's book shop but it looked good fun so we went for it.

We left little man digging up potatoes with his Grandma and Grandad and got dressed up for the BBQ. Once we'd had the text to say little man was happily sleeping we opened the wine/beer.

After a few glasses of rose wine (which I got asked for ID for in Asda!!) I plucked up courage to go in the hot tub at a friends 30th birthday party with other girly friends. I wore a bikini, yes a skimpy one with ties at the side and behind the neck!! A couple of drunken blokes made a few comments, which were all very favourable but embarrassing but I said thank you. We all knew each other so it was lovely. It got a bit boisterous when drunken blokes decided to dive bomb get in the pool so me & girly friend got out at that point.

Unfortunately 2 and half glasses of wine proved to be too much and after my stint in the hot tub I felt pretty awful. 2 cups of tea and half a packet of doritioes later I began to feel better - would of eaten better if there had been anything else left. Must remember that one cannot drink like one used to. We stayed until after 2am! Then I had to tell DH that I really needed to sleep.

Had a lie in until 9.15 ish and text G&G for little man update. He was happy & playing and had slept all night and there was no rush. We had a big brekkie and went round to see him. He gave me a big cuddle. We had lunch out whilst little man slept and then we took him to a playpark which he really enjoyed.

Had a slight hangover today which I've cured by eating lots of junk food and several thousand cups of tea. I'm still hungry and trying to resisit the urge to go out and buy chips/pizza. It was great to see our friends again.

I managed not to go on and on about babies, childbirth, my little man's development all night so was proud also. Everyone asked about him so they all got the same story. My DH told me that everyone thought I looked great especially after having a baby and birthday boy told me I had a cute bum! I have to put that down to all the walking and pushing a heavy pram/pushchair through Astley Park several times a week.

Oh and we got 5 people at once in the hot tub, anymore and the water was spilling out everywhere. It was great - anyone want to go halves on buying one?!
