nana fi is up and running

Hello people
I too have comment moderation ( see purple Ronnies blog) so no one nasty come on here!!
Well my mum now has her blog up and running and I have nearly pulled out all of my hair!
it started with me asking so whats your username and password?
she answers I don't know nanafi? so after much typing in of a variety of different usernames and passwords she finally remembered the right one and the rest as they say is history.
I have added her link on the left for anyone who wants to have a nosy. i hope you find her as amusing as I do.

We have had a fantastic day in London today. I have developed a love /hate relationship with London. It was the most glorious day today. clear skies and sun shining but not so hot that its unpleasant, just perfect. Mum , Lily and i set out on the train this morning into Victoria station. From there we took the bus to kensington gardens. I had to have photos taken for my dutch passport. this is the 4th set I have had done. all the others have been returned to me with a variety of unpleasant comments on them. this last one claimed my face was too wide! the last one claimed my ears were not visible. everytime i take them into my passport place and say no try this fork out a fiver and send them off. this time I have used their recommended photographer in kensington who charges £13 yes people £13 do any of you smell a rip off!! I am fuming and I better get the passport now as presently I am passportless and travelling in 65 sleeps!
Ok now my rant is over, after that we go into kensington gardens and we sat at the lake and fed the ducks. Lily was screaming at them. she loves birds flaps her arms around like a mad baby.she is so vocal at the moment she says mama , dada, nana , ye ye ba ba and various other sounds. She was delightful today and had a ball. We went to the princess Diana memorial fountain and splashed our feet which was great.
then we set off home . back to Victoria. It was filled with people and I mean filled. there had been some sort of fire so all the trains were being diverted from charing cross and London bridge leading to pandemonium. all the trains were being cancelled from Victoria for some reason and we waited and waited for a platform number for our train. It turns out that all the hundreds of people on the platform also wanted our train.
We had to squeeze onto it I was separated from mum as there was a seat and she has many ailments. I wanted lily safe so I gave her to mum and then i stood with the pram.then 40 people tried to squeeze onto the train. let me explain here that I am a very claustrophobic person. we were all sweating and I just wanted to kill everyone. then lily started to cry. we sat there for 15 min before the train departed. In short it was a nightmare and something i loathe about London. when the transport is good its very ,very good but when its bad its horrid.

One of the few reasons I chose not to visit London with a kid - at least not until he's old enough to stand still... I would've also be claustrophobic!! Great to have your mom back in the game, I'm thrilled to have another blog to read each morning!
Now, off to find out how to put that comment moderation into effect on my own site...
Lots of love xxx
