A Child Free Weekend in Bath…

This past weekend I had my first child free weekend ever.  I have been away before for the odd night when we just had Mads and I went away to Brussels with work for two nights when Mads was around eleven months old, but I have only been away from LL for a night before.  I was excited and a little nervous about leaving them for the weekend.

The reason for my travels was it was one of my best friends hen do’s in Bath.  Her wedding is in a couple of weeks and I am bridesmaid so I was really excited about spending some time with her and her friends, as well as one of my other closest friends from uni.

We had a great time, the only downside being that I was not well earlier in the week and on the Saturday it came back with avengence, meaning that I got glammed up ready to have some drinks only to find that my stomach was so painful I had to go home early.  I was so disappointed and upset, typical that I am poorly on the one weekend that I get to go away.

Here is my weekend in iPhone photos…

A little treat brought home for my little ladies (and Mr E!) – some chocolate ducks!

A little card for Mr E.

It was a lovely weekend and it was nice to be able to just relax and not have to be ‘Mummy’ for a while.  I was the only Mum there bar the hens Mum, and for once all my conversation didn’t revolve around tantrums, nappies and sleeping patterns, although I kept showing them all photos of my lovely little ladies.  The girls had a great time with Mr E and when I spoke to them on the phone Mads kept saying she ‘missed me so much.’  I came home to the biggest cuddles and they didn’t leave my lap for the whole afternoon.

They definitely missed me just as much as I missed them.

Roll on the wedding!
