Hello!
I haven't been anywhere ... just too lethargic to think about blogging, or to do anything worth blogging about! I have just felt sooooooo tired the last few months and haven't done an awful lot except sleep (staying in bed until the afternoon at weekends - and for those who know me, will know how unusual this is!) or sit in front of the tv (watching Glee, Desperate Housewives and the Vampire Diaries ... and far too many soaps ... I even cried when Bradley died in Eastenders ... GET A GRIP MRS PLUM!!)
Don't worry - I have been keeping up with all your wonderful and interesting blogs ... and leaving the odd comment here and there ... and I am glad to say that for the first time in a long while - I feel like me again .... Victoria Plum has returned!!
So, with the return of the sunshine this lovely March weekend, me and Mr Plum have been getting up bright and early ... have taken delivery of a tumble drier (not particularly environmentally friendly, I know ... but I now have three weeks of dirty washing cleaned and dry ... and our little flat doesn't smell of a dirty laundry for once!
We headed out to have another look at prams ... we have narrowed it down to two favourites and will make our final decision when we head to the Baby Show in May.
Last night I even baked!!! I have not done a bit of baking since before Christmas and the constant nausea started ... I have a batch of cupcakes in the kitchen ready to ice ... more of that later!
We let the kitties out into the garden for the first time yesterday ... Pansy was the braver of the two and has been out and exploring ... poor little Twister - he has found the whole experience extremely traumatic and I'm not really sure what to do about it. He is very nervous and clinging to me all the time ... hopefully he will get a bit braver.
The picture at the top of the post is of my lovely tidy greenhouse! I haven't put any seeds in yet - and will leave that until next weekend. I spent this morning tidying what I should have tidied last October ... but never got around to it ... and then it got too cold/wet/snowy ... and I had no desire to be out there!
So here I am ... on a lovely sunny Sunday, enjoying catching up with things which have been ignored for so long!
Rightyho ... I'm off to put the kettle on and get my seed potatoes ready to chit!

Glad to see you back again, and much more your usual self. Winter blues and being pregnant sure floors you, and I am so glad that you have some Spring sunshine today to cheer you up.
Gosh those months sound tough. Poor you. Never mind, spring is great for a natural pick me up.
Your greenhouse looks marvelous! How exciting to be planting new vegetables again. Have fun in the garden and lovely to see you again.
Hope you're feeling a lot more perky soon, but you might as well rest up while you can! If you ever have a second I'm afraid nobody gives your second pregnancy a moment's consideration (especially child #1!!!!!). I am v jealous of the tumble drier, we go through so much washing but my other half says no because of the electricity they use *sulk sulk* ;)
