Reasons to be happy

My reasons to be happy

I am very proud of Minxy who represented her school yesterday in cross country. She did so well bless her, especially as it was her first ever attempt at it and it was agianst around 200+ other children. I'm glad that she is starting to come out of her shell a little and get involved in new activities.

It was parent's evening at the end of last week and both of the Mini Mes are doing so well. Both above target and Minxy has a reading age of almost 11 (she is 8). Very happy with their progress.

I was contacted today by Thomas Sabo and told that I have won a prize this morning... diamonds! I seem to do quite well when it comes to winning jewellery and I'm very much looking forward to some new bling to wear*.

It is my anniversary today with the Mr (also National Steak and Blow Job day!). He has put up with me for 4 years and I am very happy to have him in my life. Love him millions.

*Note to the Mr, this does not mean you don't need to buy me a diamond ring!

Soap making, Christmas Cards and Shopping - Our weekend that was

Another weekend seems to have flown by but we certainly managed to squeeze in quite a bit...

Saturday
After a nice lay in I whipped up some pancakes for brunch and then we got the soap making kit out. We made a lovely variety of coloured and scented products that the Mini Mes have decided to sell to family and friends to make themselves some money for their boxes. After lunch we had fun on the X-Box playing various sports and then we did some baking. We made a delicious warm dessert, sticky syrup sponge, which everyone enjoyed!

In the afternoon we chilled out with pizza and watched Dolphin Tale. Thankfully the lights were off so the Mini Mes couldn't see me welling up, soppy thing!

Sunday
We met up with my parents in the morning for breakfast at Wetherspoons and a bit of shopping in town. I was good and had a sausage roll instead of a large full English like the Mr but it looked unbelievably good. We had a browse around the shops and I fell in love with this beautiful charm for my bracelet. I behaved and didn't purchase it so I've popped it on my wishlist for Christmas instead... I've been a good girl all year Santa, promise!

In the afternoon we watched Mr Popper's Penguins and Jingle All The Way as requested by the Mini Mes cuddled up on the sofa and I then I made Toad in the Hole for everyone. I'm still doing Jenny Craig and really enjoying it. First weigh in tomorrow eek!

What did you get up to this weekend?
