Baby no3 and me.
After reading Brummy Mummy of 2 - when is right time to shut up shop post - please check it out. I have to admit I may have got a tiny, little bit broody *Shock horror* and nostalgic.
Anyone who knows me will know since baby number 2 I have been adamant - NO MORE EVER AGAIN - I had to do a quick reality check and do this post to ensure I don't get them funny idea's again.
Here are my reasons for not having a baby no 3.
1) Money, babies cost a fortune. Everything costs that bit more nowadays.
2) I sold everything after baby no2, to prevent a baby no3.
3) Baby no2 still doesn't sleep, 15mths on :( I so need undisturbed sleep again soon and this wouldn't happen for a long time if there was baby number 3.
My posts on my sleep deprivation issue -

My survival tips for the day after the night before
4) The house isn't big enough and I point blank refuse to move again. The car is also not big enough to accommodate 3 car seats.
5) Pregnancy sucks! last time I was a walking time bomb for the whole 9mths. For me, being pregnant at 23 and then again at 28 I saw a huge difference. I found it allot harder on my body.
6) Work would have a melt down if I went off for a third 9months in 7 years.
7) The fear of losing my sanity due to - hormones, sleep deprivation and depression. I made the decision to not take my anti-depressants whilst pregnant, something I found extremely difficult.
8) My partner shares the same feeling - NEVER AGAIN! He too has found baby no2 hard work, and being 4 years older then me feels it even more. I confess our relationship has taken a back seat since baby no 2. something I'm not proud of.
9) One of each, is more than enough. I'm so lucky and extremely grateful to have one of each.
10) I find it difficult to split myself in to two sometimes, so how on earth could I then split myself into three?! I'm forever riddled with guilt that my son takes up to much of my attention and affection, as he requires so much all the time being so small and my daughter doesn't get as much as she should, this makes me sad. It used to be just the two of us. For 3 years she had me all to herself, so it was a big change when baby no2 came. I want to be able to spend more time with them individually and I fear this wouldn't happen if there was baby number 3. I would then miss out on the two I have
So no matter how broody I may get I must remember BABY NO3 IS A NO GO!

Why I couldn't be a princess
There was big hype yesterday around the new princess, my Facebook feed was full of pictures of the little bundle. She is, of course undoubtedly very cute.
With regards to Kate's much talked about appearance, my opinion is, she's not human for looking so naturally amazing 10hrs after giving birth!! I was a walking disaster for 2 weeks afterwards. I was defiantly not fit for society or public viewing! To any mums-to-be out there please don't expect to look 'Kate fresh' afterwards it's unrealistic and unachievable. So embrace the disaster it's our right of passage as women.
Here's my reasons for why I could never be a princess:
1) I swear, allot! Even without meaning to, which would be just great for live television!
2) My favourite thing to do is to have a jolly good ole moan and rant. Think this would probably be frowned upon, because ya know, the less fortunate an all.
3) I love shopping in Primark, I love a bargain! I don't think the Royals shop in Primarni or care for bargains or £2.50 bra's!!!
4) I'm not a fan of public appearances, big social events or all-eyes-on me situations. No not for me at all. Maybe I could be the first recluse princess?!
5) I share everything on facebook! A princess is required to be private and reserved.
6) I drink pints of cider, simply because halfs are double waiting time at the bar! I've never understood the problem with females and pints anyway?! I couldn't see a princess with a pint in hand though.
7) some days I'm miserable, just because. You know the days when you hate on life and everyone for no reason. I couldn't fake a smile and be all pleasant on these days! Especially if I didn't like the person, I'm very transparent and a little rebellious, now that just wouldn't do for a princess!
8) Some days I don't have the energy / can't be arsed to, wash my hair so it goes up into a bun or put make-up on or wear clothes (I wear PJ's don't worry I'm not a nudist -now that would be frowned upon) and some times I even do the school run like this *Shock horror* can you imagine the head lines!
9) I'm not at all photogenic and no amount of Photoshop could fix this.
10) For me there's nothing like a naughty McDs, I don't think the princess will ever visit McDs, let along eat a double cheese burger? This actually makes me feel quite sad for her.
The royals are very privileged and I'm sure there are lots of perks. But being a princess just isn't for me.

Disney on Ice / Facebook Pages / Mcfly #LittleLoves
My first ever #LittleLoves post hosted by But why mummy why
I discovered this great linky via Sian @ Potty Mouthed Mummy and Jo @ Not a Frumpy Mummy and couldn't wait to take part. So here goes....
As many of you are already aware, this week I've been eagerly awaiting the return of my Wi-Fi, after going without for a whole month *sob* however I've done enough ranting on this subject, so I won't bore you any longer. Here's some of the things I actually enjoyed about my week.
READ
I've forced myself to read this week as I desperately wanted to finish this book. Towards the end of the book I had lost all motivation, it turned out to be a bit dark and not what I was expecting at all.
The Book of you by Claire Kendal.
WATCHED
This is an old clip (2012) but its a new one for me and I've fallen in love with it. I'm a hard person to crack but this nearly got me going. Its from my faithful friend, YouTube.

WORE
I got to actually dress up, not in my practical mummsy gear and not in my work suit but actual normal clothes, which people wear day to day. This was for my girly day out with my girl. I still went for the safe option and chose to ware jeans and pumps but still I sort of made the effort.
HEARD
Lots of Disney classics at the Disney-on-Ice event in the capital. This was a treat for my daughters birthday, which I booked some time ago. it was great to have girly time, just me and J.
My favourite song was from the film 'Tangled' - 'I got a dream'
MADE
A start on getting my Facebook page up to date, this has been a bit of an on-going battle for me, as I was clueless about Facebook pages when I set one up. I'm finally getting to grips with it now, I just got to remember to actually post on it now. Here's the link:
One of each kind Facebook page
AND LASTLY.
This week I needed to be reminded of this,
