Meet mum, buffet lunch & Sophie

In a bit of a rush after our night of excess Toni and I quickly downed a cup of tea and left Sam and his friends tidying up so that we could shoot off to Chelmsford to meet mum's coach at the bus station. We found a parking space just round the back of the bus station and arrived just after mum. Took the luggage to the car and then decided that we were all hungry and so would eat before going over to see Sophie.

Toni noticed that there was an all you can eat Chinese buffet restaurant so we opted for that. It was really nice, plates were piled high, and I drank loads of chinese tea (I had forgotten how nice it is). I had to take this photo of the place mat though as it had the best message in the world on it, really funny:


Following the buffet we went over to see Sophie for a couple of hours and drop off a pram and loads of clothes and some cot toys that Leanne, Toni's sister, had given us. It was nice to see her. Yesterday's panic seems to be over though as the contractions have subsided so I guess that was the first of, no doubt, many false starts!
