What i've been up to:




















  • Finishing off cupcakes
  • Framing gorgeous wrapping papers - i love cheap but wonderful art
  • Halloumi for dinner - is this like the best food ever?????
  • Tiding toys continuously it seems this week
  • Ironing hubbies shirts whilst watching 24 (Can't get enough of this series)
  • Finding a tee i bought ages ago at the bottom of a bag - felt like i'd just bought something new!!!
  • Hot choc and crumpets for dinner - naughty i know, but it only happens occasionally
  • Watching a really bad film whilst hubbie was out for the night  - why did i carry on watching????? Probably because Ashton Kutcher was in it :)
  • Two pilates sessions - almost feel virtuous ;)
  • My boys sports day - all day this year!!!!! Had a banging headache after. Well done to my eldest for getting a bronze medal.
  • Littlest always falling asleep on the drive to take eldest to cubs. Aren't they cute...and quiet when they're asleep?
  • Lunch here
  • Girls night out to see this. Damn Channing Tatum is hot, and that boy can certainly move!!!!
  • The mundane but somewhat satisfying job of filling the gaps in the wooden floorboards with this stuff.
  • Heading to Milton Keynes to see Swedish House Mafias last ever UK gig
  • Having one of the best days/nights ever. It was Muddy but oh so good!!!!!!
  • A very lazy, tired Sunday - drinks and dinner at the In Laws
