Things to do 5 weeks after giving birth.....


Baby Flynn is 5 weeks old today and it has flown by.

So what did i do today? I went out and bought a bath mat. I mean a massive, shaggy, green, mother-of-all bathmats.

Why?
Because for 3 years i have stepped out of our shower onto my cold bathroom tiles and cursed the fact that we don't have a bath mat. I have grabbed and stood on vagrant towels, dirty clothes, strewn laundry...anything rather than face those arctic, angry tiles.

So today i passed a rack of 'luxury' bath mats at the outlet mall and was mesmerised by their textural goodness. I was lured into their spell by the promise of decadent softness underfoot. To step freely from my sacred 5 minutes of hot consoling water onto the taj mahal of bath mats is a 'luxury' this sleep fractured mother cannot live without.

So i bought it. Happy 5 weeks old my darling.
