my week - the weekend

Eeeshk I started so well and then neglected my journal over the weekend so here is my re cap.

Firstly I must have been tired yesterday because I did infact go for a lovely coffee with a friend and her little boy and a friend who is expecting her first baby shortly.

On Saturday mornings my husband works so my daughters and I slouch around the house then after Justin's House (obviously staple watching for a weekend) we get ready to go to my little girl's dance class at the local school, she loves it and its very cute to watch. Afterwards we had a bite to eat and headed into town as a family to buy mothers day presents, I decided on books for my mum (I got her the book "The Help" that way I can get her the DVD for her birthday ha ha).

In Cirencester every couple of weeks we have a craft market so I went for a wonder round and got my dad a handmade ceramic mug with a gloucestershire old spot pig on, this was his birthday present which I had failed to come up with on his actual birthday in feb.
At some point in the afternoon I developed a monster cold (how is that actually possible?) so I was delighted when my husband suggested getting a curry for tea (chicken dansak and plain rice 6 1/2 syns bargain).

Sunday was fairly busy woke up feeling rubbish but did get a card my 4 yr old had written herself and some new crafty books, which improved my mood.

 Then it was off to the mother in laws to deliver a present and have a drink and catch up, then to my mums (luckily we all live in the same village) my mum was also nursing a massive cold.
In the afternoon a friends son was being christened so we had that to attend and everyone trooped to the pub after for some drinks and grub and some LUSH cupcakes.
And that concludes my weekend and my week in the life, thanks for tuning in back to normal blogs and tutorials from now on.

My week - Friday

ummmm not a very exciting day to report school run, flaming viewing cancelled again everyone else seemed to be living it up during Gold Cup day at Cheltenham races ....... except me obviously.

Highlight of my day? learning to make organza flowers by studying you tube videos.

my week - Thursday

Last night we had a call to say we had another viewing booked for today which is great, everything clean and ready, arranged to have lunch at my sisters and see a friend this afternoon......... now they've changed viewing to tomo DOH!!!!

I walked my niece to school this morning while my sister went to the midwife (she's a week overdue) this sparked every person I passed to ask if it was because baby was on the way and I got rather bored of disappointing all of them by the end.

Even though our viewing cancelled I knew my daughter would still want to go to my sisters for lunch..... and what a good job we did about an hour after we got there my sister said oooo I think i felt something then within the next hour she went very quickly from that to sitting on the sofa not being able to get up when having a contraction. Exciting stuff so I cancelled meeting my friend (which I was gutted about because she's over from Germany for the week and I haven't seen her to catch up on her wedding plans yet) we called the hospital, husband and our mum for babysitting duties then off she went and had my newest niece a couple of hours later yey!

In the evening I was good and got some exercise in though I didn't do any geekercise I managed just dance 3 (which to me is definitely hard work). All in all a pretty good day!

my week - wednesday

I decided to be good mummy today and attend my daughters playgroup coffee morning which was held in a local church hall, its great there are toys for the little ones and there was cake and drinks for the parents and the play leaders and committee members (I'm on the committee but was attending as a parent) on hand to answer questions. Unfortunately only me and one other person came which was disappointing I think people should make better use of these opportunities though I appreciate many of the parents work.

After this my friend came to pick up her noticeboard (see Tuesdays post) which she is giving to her mum for mothers day, then we picked the kids up from playgroup and the day was fairly uneventful from then on hence no pictures today. I had vowed to do some exercise this evening but by the time the girls were in bed I was too tired and used the excuse that my ipod needed charging so I'll do it tomo (I will also explain my method of exercise which I refer to as geekercise).

My week - Tuesday

Today I wake up clinging to the edge of my daughters single bed having given up on plodding back and forth in the night, then the usual morning routine ensues.

After dropping my eldest off at playgroup I come home and get made to turn Mr Tumble on as soon as I get through the door (those of you who don't know who he is are probably better off). I take this opportunity to start a badge based around The Hunger Games (due to be released at the end of the week and I'm quite excited)

Its going to have "The Girl Who Was On Fire" stitched on the black part, nothing special but I wanted to do some geekery!

Then as baby and me sat on the sofa chilling I got a phonecall to say we had someone who wanted to do a viewing on our flat (its for sale), this is great but they wanted to come at lunchtime and this involved me springing off the sofa and tidying like a lunatic.

After I pick my daughter up we go to town with mum because I'm making a noticeboard for a friend and I've run out of the ribbon I was using annoyingly so had the fabric shop so I had to pick a different ribbon and re-staple the whole lot!!!!

Not wanting to get home before the viewing was finished I suggested we go for lunch at the local garden centre (jacket potato, chilli and salad).

Tuesday night is my night for getting making bits sorted while my hubby is out at darts, so I've finished the noticeboard (I custom make these check out my facebook page)

 and now I'm blogging to you lovey lot! but I need to go and stitch my badge so laters dudes x

My week - Monday

Sooooo I get up whenever my daughters drag me out of bed which was about 7am today not bad going. same old routine get up, get them scrubbed and dressed and fed.
On a Monday I have a hot choc and no breakfast and put on the lightest possible clothes I own ready for my weigh in at chub club. Today I am not at all surprised to learn I have put on what I lost last week due to the junk consumed on a day out at western yesterday.
I  resolved this week to stick 100% to my slimming world plan and doing this journal may actually be quite helpful, then maybe I'll fit into these...

I bought these too small intentionally so I could "slim" into them .....so far they've spent alot of time waiting in the drawer.

After the hectic scramble that is tea (gammon steaks an potato rosti), bath and bedtime for the girls, Hubby and I sit on the sofa for a min ................................ and don't move till we decide we're so tired we should flop into bed!

Soooooo my sister is doing this thing on her blog (Luck and Charm) where she documents a week in the life. she's told me I simply MUST get involved so I shall endeavour to comply with her request.

In advance I would like to apologise if the presentation of these blogs is not great I shall mainly be doing them from my phone because that is the only way I'll remember to do it everyday. 
Also it would be great for some of you guys to do this too its always a good excuse for a nose ha ha. 

Now let me go plan some interesting things for my week ummm ............
