Amazing What Warm Hands Can Do!

Woo hoo the Friday Feeling is back.
Enjoyed myself at M&S coffee shop.
Mocha ,toast and a good yak!
Done a good deed by handing in 3 pairs of football boots for the upcoming Easter Swap Shop
Came first in a Chopstick Competition.
I am such a wiz with chopsticks!
Currently sorting out my Pantry. 
I could bake a cake everyday I have so much stuff!
(It won't be happening just yet!)
As I have given up cake and chocolate for Lent,
If there is ever a national flour shortage,
I won't have to worry, I have got loads!
Going to relax tonight watching "Ted" on Film4
In bed with a very warm hubby with warm hands!

Give Me Loads of Pink Sunshine!!!

The days of my holidays are soon running out..,
One more sneaky lie-in.
Hot shower, and blow-dried the ever growing hair
Now to move and tidy up the Dining room.
My 1950's kitchen cupboard's door needed to be screwed back on.
Done.
My saying of,"Are you tidying your bedrooms?" to my kids was getting tiresome!
Before going round to see my dad, the bedrooms remained the same :(
I am so tired of nagging.....(I might as well speak a foreign language!!!)
I need a strong  coffee out of the house.
Luckily for me, the offer of coffee tomorrow is far too good to pass on.
Great to start that Friday Feeling with chat and coffee!!!!

Wow, That's Big!

Woo hoo we have reached "Hump Of The Week".
A very wet hump in fact.
Another lie-in (can't grumble about that!".
While in Sainsbury's:
 I had to explain to my children;
Why I can't have a chocolate doughnut.
"I have given up chocolate and cake for Lent"
A customer overheard me (kept looking at me the whole time) he picked up a bag of chocolate doughnuts, and put them in his trolley.
I just smiled, and pretended to eat my fist!
Hubby picked up a pine bookcase for me.
 (I won it on EBay last night).
It's a lot bigger and heavier than I expected....

Trying To Move The Mess About!

Another day, another lie-in.
Today was to move the crap around the house!
I was having my 1960's cabinet delivered later.
So things had to be moved about.
The large (heavy) box was attempting to be fitted in the cupboard under the stairs.
It wouldn't fit! (Back upstairs it went!)
Trying to tidy hubby's part of the bedroom.
Tried to move one piece, then everything fell down like a trail of dominoes...
His crap went everywhere.....
I thought I had a hoarding problem.....
The weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow.
So I am sorting out our Pantry! 
A Pine bookcase I won off EBay is also arriving tomorrow..
Don't worry I have made a space....just :P

It's Only The First Day!!

First day of the half term holidays!
I'm off work, and have my children at home with me.
So out comes the referee's shirt, whistle, and showing a lot of red and yellow cards.
I have bags of patience and gritting my teeth a lot!
It was nice to stay a little bit longer in bed than I normally do on a weekday.
Popped into Bromsgrove.
Did our normal charity shop looking.
Then into Droitwich.
Free coffee, free magazine, great reduced food, and offers at Waitrose.
Once children had gone to bed, 
(They first had to show me how to work my own Blu-Ray machine!)
Now to watch my mate, Michael Fassbender in the film "Shame".
Wow, wow wow, yum yum (Eyes wide open!)

Off my brother, who hasn't realised I won it yet :)
We have just had a homemade 3 course meal here.

No Chocolate, no Cake, but plenty of hugs,kisses and other things ;)
