Retail Therapy :-)

Well I had a lovely afternoon mooching round the town centre, while the Drama Teen was at her Stagecoach club. Mr Messy and Little Prince stayed at home, so I didn't have to worry about trying to find a Disney Car that we don't already have - we have them ALL, but try convincing Little Prince of that!!

It was lovely to browse through the baby clothes in all the major high street stores - I had to find THE perfect outfit :-) I don't do much 'baby browsing' while out with Little Prince, as it makes him feel a bit insecure - so I really appreciated the chance. And it was good to be able to buy something and not feel like I was tempting fate - this wasn't for our MeiMei (who still feels like an 'if' not a 'when') it was for Kate's baby, who is a real, live, actual baby referred from China :-) See it DOES happen :-)

Feeling a lot more positive now and I'm hoping I can enjoy the rest of the long weekend, and put adopting to the back of my mind for once!
