Yo.
We're not the best that this blogging ting, huh? But when we actually do blog it's pretty good stuff. We rock. I don't think I tell you that I love you enough. I do. I love you lots. You're my bestie and you're fabulous.
So Brangelina are no more. It's so sad. Why can't hollywood types keep it together?! I don't even think there are any couples to look up to anymore... Oh hang on, that's not true. Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, Tom and Gi Fletcher and Dawn O'Porter and Chris O'Dowd. We can look up to them!!
Talking of Dawn O'Porter and my incredible, all consuming love of her... She has a new podcast called "Get it on" and it is really good. Yeah, yeah, I am obsessed with podcasts, whatever. It's her talking to another "celeb" about their style. It is a really good listen. The latest one is with Jason Segel, he seems like a really lovely chap.
I am sooooooo excited about seeing you. And yeah, it has been a while since we've been out!! Weddings and hen dos don't count (mainly because I was pregnant for yours) so it must have been 2011 at least!! That is NOT cool dudette. We are shite at this!! So as a result, expect your time to monopolised by me at the ball. I am sorry (I'm not) but it is only fair.
I am very emosh at the moment and worried about the next few months. I know this time of year will be hard and I am sure it is the same for you. Today last year was when we went to Center Parcs for the first time and Eilys was trying to roll over and she was nearly sitting unaided. Honestly it hurts my heart to think about it. I have such vivid memories of encouraging her to roll in front of the sliding doors in the center parcs villa and being so super proud of her and then she just stopped when we got back. I feel guilty because we joked a lot that she couldn't be bothered and that she worked out that she'd be on her tummy and didn't want to roll. It all stabs and makes my eyes sting. A big part of me is still very much in the "why her?" stage because you know, why? She was loved and she was so wanted and other people don't love their babies and don't want them (and I in no way want this to happen to anyone else but you know, why Eilys?) Sorry. I am just rambling.
You are right though, there is a time for wallowing and that time is now I suppose.
Anyway I am going to *try* to make Dylan nap (oh god, he NEEEEEEDS a nap today)
All my love and shit
Yo' Bestie
P.S. by "love and shit" I mean love and stuff not faeces xx

17th September
Dear Bestie
Have I told you lately that I love you? I think I probably have, but no harm in saying it again. I think what you're doing - fundraising for ACT for SMA - is amazing. And so are you.
Not long to go until the ball now and I'm just waiting for something to go catastrophically wrong. Like, the caterer to pull out, or the venue to burn down or something. Other than that, I think it's going to be a great night. I hope it's long enough! We're only allowed to go until 11pm (and then we have to tidy up before we leave) so it's really only 4 hours, of which at least 1.5 hours will be spent eating, which seems a waste when there's dancing to be done! I haven't got to the point where ever
My time I think about it I want to throw up, but I'm pretty sure that's the next phase. At least we know there's going to be enough people there to make it a party. We should raise at least £1000 for each charity. I would like more!! I really wanted to raise £4000 total. But you never know, the raffle could be hugely popular.
I was just watching Evelyn, palm to the window, gazing at the dog. Their relationship reminds me of me and a certain curly haired boy, first term of uni. She is besotted. Lyra keeps trying to hide. Evelyn keeps laughing at everything Lyra does, even though it's not funny (like licking her privates). I'm sure Lyra's doing these things to try and put Evelyn off, but it's not working. The heart wants what it wants, while it wants it.
Agh, I'm so excited for a night out with you! I literally can't remember the last time we had a night out. It must be pre-babies, so maybe it was my wedding? In which case that's four years ago. And it doesn't really count because I was preoccupied with wedding stuff.
How are your wasp stings now?
Sorry this is a crap post. My head is all over the place!
Love you,

1st September
Dear Bestie
Oops, I left this a while! Bad friend!! I guess I have been busy? Who knows. Mum life tends to blur the days.
Tomorrow we have a meeting with Eilys' consultant at Alder Hey. I am nervous. For starters I feel like I want to give him a gift to say thank you but nothing seems appropriate. He was so brilliant and caring the whole time and he made himself so available to us. Honestly, he went above and beyond all the time. But I feel like "thanks here's some chocolates" just doesn't really cut it, you know? I was thinking of making a donation to Alder Hey but that seem a bit impersonal. Ugh!
As you know I just finished reading "Carry On" by Rainbow Rowell. I loved it. It was just lovely. Plus it was nice reading a story with gay lead characters. I enjoyed it. I think you get the point. Then I was feeling like I needed more Rainbow Rowell in my life and so listened to the "Eleanor and Park" audiobook. It is such a beautiful book. It's one of those books that I just loved every page. I was Eleanor at school, well sort of. My family life wasn't messed up like hers but everything else rings true. And I had my own Park. Well, a version of him. A crap, nobhead version. But anyway. My only issue with Rainbow Rowell is she leaves her stories. She just stops writing. It drives me mental. I know that's the point but still it is basically abuse.
What else do you know? How is my favourite southerner doing? (Evelyn, obvs) (you're not classed as a southerner) (I think of you as a Eastener) I am glad you are watching the Bake Off this year. I'd love to do it but I would be awful. Paul and Mary would come over to my bench and I'd bite their heads off and then I'd spend the rest of my time trying to befriend Mel and Sue. Obviously they'd love me and then we'd do the Mel, Sue and Emma Show... Haha!
Anyways beautiful, I will reply quicker next time.
Love your face
