A Pampering Retreat - Where Would You Go?
OK, as many of you will know because I keep banging on about it :) I have pelvic instability and am quite immobile. I have been virtually housebound for the last 11 weeks and will be for the rest of the pregnancy. I can't walk very far and have had to give up work. I don't drive.
This is immensely frustrating to be stuck inside the house all day with no backyard and with a very active toddler. Day after day after day. On top of that we've had tradies here on and off for the last three months as we are selling the house. Often DD and I have had to camp in a bedroom for hours on end. On top of that, DP has worked 13 out of the last 16 weekends.
So ... I'm at the end of my tether and DP and I both think that it's a good idea that on his next weekend off which will be Anzac Day that I should go on a pampering weekend. On my own for a proper relaxing break.
Initially, I was thinking of a spa retreat type place but those places tend to be a bit out of the way and I would prefer somewhere that was close to shops. Otherwise, I will just be stuck in a room like I am at home. Although I can't walk very far, I can manage going into a shop, then sitting on a bench outside before tackling another one.
Then I thought maybe I should do somewhere like Docklands and stay down there for a couple of nights. That might be better because then I could have a tiny potter around and also see if any friends are free for lunch/dinner. Or possibly even DP :)
Any other suggestions?
