I am a firm believer that every Mum (and Dad, I'm not bias here!) needs time to wind down and to remember what life was like before they had a tiny toddler clinging to their thigh and slobbering all over them - god love them though. Fortunately, for my birthday my lovely boyfriend volunteered to keep the small one alive for the day whilst I did some serious relaxing. So off I trotted, gym gear, swimwear and book in hand ready for the kind of peace and quiet I had craved for a year and half.
