Project 365 - A Photo A Day #7

Unfortunately it has been a very boring week due to a back injury and my photos reflect that. Hopefully with half term here and 23 tablets a day I'll soon be on the mend and producing some more exciting pictures to share!!

Sunday - Jamster and I went to an advance screening of The LEGO Movie while Minxy went shopping with my parents. I managed to damage my back by simply bending over to pick up something up and I have been unable to walk (or move very much) since. 

Monday - It took me 53 minutes just to get from my bedroom to the loo so I ended up borrowing my Grandma's zimmer frame for the week... stylish!

Tuesday - I sent some cake to some bloggers as my Random Act of Kindness and I received one for myself also. It certainly cheered me up.

Wednesday - Spartan has been very protective of me this week and has sat by my feet at all times to make sure I'm OK. He is such a little sweetie.

Thursday - A bonus of being stuck at home - people bring you food. Lots of Oliver Adams and a Subways this week. Not looking forward to my weigh in!

Friday - For Valentine's Day the Mr got me a bottle of Raspberry vodka and a lovely box of chocolate scented bath bombs. I'm very much looking forward to using both when I'm able to drink and get in the bath again.

Saturday - A new charm for my bracelet (silver one with lots of hearts on) that I won in a competition.

Project 365 - Photo a Day #5

How is it February already?! This year seems to be going quickly.

Sunday - Jamster and I created a dragon set we were kindly sent by Prezzybox when they heard he had been poorly. They also sent Minxy some friendship bracelets to make.

Monday - The Mini Mes made some cakes after school... and used up the last of the Christmas sprinkles.

Tuesday - Dominos pizza for dinner!

Wednesday - The Mr and I went shopping and had a fried breakfast.

Thursday - Cookies for the Mr and Mini Mes.

Friday - A day of pool and darts with the Mr.

Saturday - I received a beautiful bracelet from the new Bellatrix range by Tresor Paris to review. Love it!

Project 365 - A Photo A Day #4

Our week that was...

Sunday - Cuddling up with Jamster after he returned home from his dad's house. He is such a mummy's boy and still loves to stroke my hair! 

Monday - Our daft poochie with his tongue hanging out as always. He always makes me smile.

Tuesday - A woodland walk. I liked the dark branches against the blue sky in this one.

Wednesday - I was blue lighted to hospital in the early hours of the morning when I woke up with severe chest pains that extended into my arm and jaw. I spent several hours in A&E having ECG's, X-Rays and blood tests. This was my view for much of the day!

Thursday - Sweets and a movie after school for the Mini Mes as a little thank you for being so great the day previous when I was poorly.

Friday - Pretty get well soon flowers from a best friend.

Saturday - Sausage and chorizo casserole for dinner with jacket potatoes.

Project 365 - A Photo A Day #3

Our week that was...

Sunday - The majority of the day was spent building the Mini Mes' lovely new furniture that we received from Ikea.

Monday - We had building work being doing on our home so I escaped for lunch with my mum! I had a lovely cheesecake for dessert. Delicious.

Tuesday - The post cage has been removed from the front door as the work has been done on the property to allow easier access... this resulted in nibble marks from the poochie on my letters!! Tut.

Wednesday - The first rainbow I've seen in ages. I stopped on the school run to snap a picture as requested by the Mini Mes.

Thursday - A yummy delivery of sweets!

Friday - Another winter warming dinner. This time pesto chicken with cheese dumplings.

Saturday - A morning of baking and a raspberry sauce on the cooker.

I think I take a few too many photos of food!!

Project 365 - A photo a Day #2

This week seemed to fly by! Here is what we got up to...

• We visited Badby Woods on Sunday for an afternoon walk with the poochie. The Mr decided to walk through what appeared to be a small puddle and sunk right up to his thigh - hilarious!
• We had some more outdoor fun at Draycote Water Monday. The Mr and Mini Mes love to see how high they can go... even if their expressions say otherwise.
• Our last afternoon together before school restarted was spent at our local park. We played chase and this was taken while I was 'it' and they escaped to the climbing frames!
• Spartan doesn't really understand what personal space is and he likes to ram himself between the armrest and I while I'm trying to work.
• After school the Mini Mes asked to go to the indoor play centre so we headed there straight away. I was surprised by how quiet it was! You can just about see them right in the centre (Jamster in a yellow t-shirt).
• A yummy homemade jam sponge for dessert - mmmm!
• We received some lovely furniture from Ikea to review so Saturday was a DIY day.

Project 365 - A photo A Day #1

I always begin this and end up failing miserably. I'm desperate to complete a full year though and I'm determined to make 2014 the one!

The idea, if you don't already know, is to take a photo a day EVERY DAY.

I'll be sharing my collection every Saturday from the previous week.

Here are my first few photos since January 1st...

• I'm on a mission to lose weight and I'm counting down to Kefalonia so the Zumba Rush made an appearance on New Year's Day. Bring on the beach body!
• Not the best of pics as it was taken in a darkened hallway, but Spartan was sat by the door waiting for the Mr to come home after work so I snapped a quick pic before he moved. I thought it was really sweet.
• We went to the cinema to see Frozen and came across this LEGO Movie board... as soon as Jamster saw Batman on there he was keen to pop his face in the cut out!
• A rather boring day spent at home working, so eating was probably the highlight! I've been enjoying Ryvita since the new year began and these are my favourite flavour so far; Mediterranean Herb.

Our week that was... Sledging, pink pancakes and the Gruffalo (Project 365)

Sunday we spent the morning doing crafts including Chinese lanterns and in the afternoon we had a long walk around the reservoir in the rain and fed the ducks before a play at the park.

Monday we saw Wreck it Ralph, had a Subways lunch and then spent the afternoon sledging in the fresh snow.

We made some pretty pink pancakes on Tuesday and Wednesday after visiting a friend we went to the theatre to see The Gruffalo's Child.

 Thursday was Valentine's Day and I received these lovely things from my Mr... late in the evening however, I think he felt guilty!

Friday we  received a huge bundle of Easter goodies to review and Jamster was particularly eager to taste the cute Smarties animals.

Saturday I had my hair cut. It's quite different from my usual look so I'm a little unsure whether I like it yet.

What did you get up to this week?

Our week that was... new beds, food and outdoor fun

Sunday the Mr and I decided to go on a hunt for a new mattress, as despite being only 2 years old our current one isn't very comfortable. This resulted in us buying new carpet, a TV bed, pillows and a new mattress and we looked at new beds for the Mini Mes too.... Oops - but worth it!

Monday we went on a bike and scooter ride after school for some outdoor fun and fresh air. Minxy has a basket on her bike which was handy for bringing back a few bits of shopping in too. We didn't get out as much this week as I would have liked but with it being half term now we will be outdoors a lot next week.

Tuesday Spartan decided to join in with my 30 day shred by climbing on me during sit ups!

 Wednesday I received a lovely Weight Watchers hamper of goodies including wine, bonus.

Thursday Minxy had her first swimming lesson in the evening. She loved it and did really well, the instructor said she was confident which was reassuring as I have a phobia of water.

Friday after a busy evening clearing our bedroom out completely ready for the new carpet I popped on a movie and poured the Mr a Jack Daniels Single Malt to relax.

 Saturday As the Mini Mes were really good while the workmen were in today, I treated them to some chocolate eggs, pizza and a movie.

How has your week been?
