What i've been up to

Last week wasn't very busy for me. I have been ill with a horrible cold. I spent all weekend laying in bed or on the sofa too :(

But here is what i've been up to since last Monday.

• As usual i have been eating lots of sweet treats - mmmmm chocolate millionaires shortbread left over from the weekend.
• Setting up our first box this year for operation christmas child. I love doing this each year. We make up two boxes, one to send through the boys school and one for church.
• I had a good tidy of my dressing table.
• I love my new primark teatowels hanging from my oven.
• Having leftover buffet food from the weekend for dinner.
• Adding to my inspiration folders.
• Tidying up my kitchen pin board.
• Puting together an Autumn themed reading basket in the lounge for the boys.
• Fighting through the rain, always on the school run!! But doing it in colour - i love my pink mac and daisy brolly.
• Drinking tea and reading magazines.
• Having a lovely lunch here with a couple of friends.
• Presents i got my nephew - he loves dinosaurs - i was so happy to find a dino card with his age on and dino wrapping paper - i hope he liked them.
• My hubbie went out for the night with his brother, so i had a nice dinner with my boys - pizza with extra goats cheese - mmmm and then tea and choc chip cookies.
• Sticking with my youngest - lovely winnie the pooh sticker book.
• Driving past the gorgeous houses of our town including the gorgeous dutch cottage.
• Feeling oh so rough so getting my son to make cakes for his bake sale (i had plans to make football cupcakes and another cherry and almond cake but just couldn't do it, so luckily i had a Tom and Jerry cake mix) and then dragging myself to my sons senior school to be open evening.
• Being so addicted to watching 24. Me and the hubbie have just finished season 5 on netflix. It was soooo good - we have been up far too late ("lets just watch one more")
• Taking the boys to school and then coming home and falling on the sofa to watch t.v and films - honestly this is the worst cold i've had for a while.
• Watching The help - amazing film!!!!
• Spending the whole weekend in (The boys and hubbie still went out), mt other half did a good job of looking after me though and even made an attempt at doing the washing (see above)!!!
• The boys looked extremely cute painting their outdoor playhouse with their dad.
• Listening (and smiling) to my youngest laying on the other sofa talking to 'go deigo go' on the tele.
• Feeling cold then hot, wrapping up in blankets and cushions, then throwing them off again.
• Getting fed up of watching tele!!!!!! i put the great british bake off on for the first time - actually quite enjoyed it. Will probably carry on watching now.
• Feeling annoyed that i had to cancel a lunch out with some IG ladies :(
• Making myself peanut butter and jam on toast whilst i knew the boys and hubbie were enjoying a roast at my in laws. Thankfully, they brought me back a roast!!!!!!
• A spot of crochet.
• Loving the Flash vintage cleaners.
• Drinking so much honey, lemon and cinnamon drinks - i'm now completely sick of them!!!
