Walkies

I decided to be brave or prehaps stupid depending on your viewpoint. And took both Abi and mackie for a walk. Not an easy task Abi was as goodas gold wrapped up and snug in the pram macy was excitable and didnt semm to realise that run in front of the pram was a good idea as he then would get his lead tangled in the pram. But never the less we managed all though sterring one handed is not to be recommended.

The health visitor came yesterday and abi is now 8lb 9 0z. We again tried to open a bank account after a frustrating 30 mins i managed to finally get through the call centre and get an apointment. Turned up at the bank with Abi and her birth certificate only to be informed thy had no record of seeing any id of me and couldnt open the acoount till they had seen it this was a complete surprise as i have banked with them for about 14 years have arranged 2 morgates through them have a single current account a joint current account and savings. And this is also inspite of when trying to open a joint account them saying there details werent up to date as they introduce a new system and providing them with up to date details. Also i had taken in my marriage certificate in order to change my details. But apparantly all that does not allow you to open a savings acoount for a baby. As they cant bypass the computer and i had not taken any photographic id as i was told all i needed was Abi birth certificate as i banked there.

So we went from there to a building society where niether of us has an acoount and they opend an acoount and all they required was Abigails birth certificate mad or what??? Then i ended the day on a high note finding out a friend at church is expecting twins in July. Theres definatley something in the water what with 4 baby girls last year and already another arrival due in may. I cant wait though.
