Day Zero Project ~ Task #25 ~ Spend A Whole Weekend with my Grandparents

My Grandparents with Daisy and Charlie 3 weeks old.

   Only I could for get to take a camera AND my phone away with me! Well technically the latter was 'lost' but my FIL found it in the most obvious place in the world so I did spend a lot of the weekend kicking myself.
   I LOVE my grandparents. They are my most favourite people in the world (apart from Charlie of course!!) Even at the grand old age of 22 I still cry when I have to go home. Laugh if you want. I don't mind :p. I was brought up in Coventry so I wil always have a soft spot for the City too.......
    So anyway. We arrived at my grandparents on Friday and headed straight into the city centre. It was Charlie's first ever bus journey and the whole event was fascinating for him. (oh how I regret forgetting my camera!) The bonus on this journey though was I didn't have to pay. The ticket machine was broken so the bus driver just waved us on. Saved a couple of quid before we'd even hit Town!
    We had lunch in West Orchards shopping centre - which I believe opened the day I was born (i will have to check that out!). It has changed sooooo much. Infact most of the city has! Most of the shops have moved or gone completely. There was me thinking everything would just click into place and i'd remember my way around. hmmm well that didnt happen!!
     My nan took me to Evans' eventually to buy me a top. I HATE  clothes shopping with a vengance especially with my size 22 frame and leftover preggo belly. Underneath this fat suit is an hour glass figure im sure of it but it's been over taken by belly and bum and breastfeeding has ruined my breasts well and truely (not that, that will stop me from doing it again. I am on a mission to re find my hourglass figure.
     Bless my nan though she was trying so hard and being so nice and me being the stroppy woman that I am found fault in everything. I did eventually end up with 2 tops. But I have no desire to go clothes shopping again until I hit a size 20 or less.
    Charlie loved being spoilt by my nan. He got a Macca Pacca and Iggle piggle toy and across the weekend got spoilt with ice cream and new jumpers and various other Items. It was alot for him to take in but he enjoyed every second, as did I!
   He got to see the Godiva clock chime with Lady Godiva going round and peeping Tom peeking out - his face was a picture.
    We ate ALOT at the weekend. So much so I am dreading weigh in on Monday!! I am back on track now but we will have to wait and see what damage has been done ;).
    My nan also helped me complete another one of my taks - learn how to knit. I will admit I most probably wouldn't be able to cast on again if someone asked me to. BUT I CAN knit. sort of. Keep an eye out on for my next Day Zero Project post where i'll tell you some more about my knitting :D.
    All in all I had a lovely weekend. Although the other half decorated whilst I was away, and a grand job he did too, life got back to normal very quick. I am only to sad I couldn't have stayed in Coventry a bit longer. xx
