Weekly Round-up

Weekly Round-up

This week has been very D.I.Y orientated and a lot of decision making.

Sunday: We got up early (because obviously that's what sane people do) and we headed to the car boot. I love a bargain, Dwaine got tools for his work, the boys got toys and general crap and I got exciting things like a Pina Colada Yankee Candle the large size for £10!! I also got a lovely cushion (see below).

Sorry not pictures of tools or toys because well they aren't that exciting!

After the car boot we had some D.I.Y to do because Dwaine had Saturday off work so got bored and decided to replace the manky disgusting carpet in the living room with laminate flooring! So Sunday afternoon was spent ripping that up and laying the new flooring. It looks amazing now, however I now need to decorate.

Monday: Spent on the phone to the hospital again to finally get a new date for Deacon's surgery (3rd November) which is the last day of his half term so he gets a month off school! Not bad for his first year hey!!

Tuesday: The dreaded top-up shop with the boys! We go once a week for fresh fruit and veg and bits we need. Food shopping in the holidays with 2 small children is a form of torture I am sure. Made even worse the fact there is a toy shop in the retail park!

Wednesday: Oh that day was THE LONGEST DAY EVER! Dwaine took his brother to pick up his new car all the way in Scarborough. So he didn't get back until late, today seemed like it was a week long.

Thursday: We made a den, that's a days entertainment in itself really. Who doesn't like a den? 

Friday: A trip to the shops with the boys Great Gran (G.G) followed by baking a cake total mess. That's what baths are made for right? 

Then before you know it, it is the weekend and bank holiday. And only one week left of the school holidays and I'm progressively feeling more and more sick as they days go by.

How was you week?!

My last year of being 20 something

My last year of being 20 something

So here it is the last year of my 20's. Well it started back in October and its been like every other year really. At the moment I do no feel anything about turning 30, I have no problem with it. However I have a feeling this may change the closer it comes. My husband is a little younger then me and will be 29 in May so he keeps teasing me about being old!

So the highlights of my 20's has to be meeting my husband at 24, having my eldest at 25 and my youngest the day after my 29th birthday! Life after meeting my husband and having kids has been amazing, crazy and challenging, but the best years of my life. There have been ups and downs we have lost some people but that's life isn't it. Its just unfortunately been at the same time as having our children.

However thinking about nearly turning 30 has made me think about a few things. I wanted to start a blog for a while so I thought well why not now! I also want to lose a lot of weight especially to teach the children the importance  of looking after your body the right way.

So really 30 should be a time of new things and a happier healthier life. However I will have a little update more towards the big 3 0 to see if things have changed and if my feelings about it have changed, Although the feeling of wrinkles will never change damn you wrinkles!

How did you feel turning 30, or do you have any insecurities about turning 30. And did you accomplish what you wanted before you turned 30 if you had a list?
