Reflecting on 2011

Kicked off the year in Burnham on Crouch with good friends and little Flo.

Me and Brooke got to the final on Pointless

Started going to the NCT Redbridge knitters and made some lovely knitting mum mates

Flo turned 1

Flo broke her arm

Got kicked out of our flat and moved in with my parents for 5 months

We had a couple of sunny seaside trips to Southend and Leigh on sea

Flo learned to walk during the Royal wedding

Went Crafternooning at the Creative Biscuit with local mates

Went back to work after maternity leave to one of the most pointless jobs I’ve ever done

Flo started nursery

Karaoke, fish pedicure (eww) and Michelin starred dinner for my Birthday

Day out in Greenwich

Bought our first house

Got broken into 2 weeks after moving in

Decorated Flo’s bedroom

Started a new job which was MUCH better than the previous one

Brett passed his driving test

Visited Kew

Digs continued to record our lives in photography

Filmed Brett and Flo for a Dad documentary at work

I dressed as a Smurf, and then Mick Hucknall

Held a kids Halloween party and kids Christmas party
