Ahhh Fluffy so glad you had great fun it sounds just fab, Dad is slightly better again today thank you m'dear, I had to take him for bloods and three weeks ago when he had bloods done then , he couldn't walk. l had to push him in a wheelchair, today he walked with me by his side , a bit unsteady but a marked improvement, fingers crossed .

Pizza Express sounds yummy, we had good old oven fish and chips , DH cooked bless him . I did tidy up after though that was good of me lol.

DH is cooking tea tonight bless him , he is a good plain cook tbf even if he does use every pan in the place! don't tell him l said that lol
have a lovely day everyone take care

Morning! We're in the Sainsbury's café, the DC had bitesize breakfasts, I had super scrambled egg. 😋🍳

I've just spent a delightful half hour in the Christmas shop in Stavanger. I was tempted by the lovely felt decorations but I'm planning to make some myself so I didn't buy any.

Just checking in.. away for weekend and Ed Sheeran tonight so will post properly when get back Monday.. hope everyone ok and have a great weekend. Catch up soon. Take care all xx

In the barber's, DS2's having his hair cut like Sketch from YouTube. 😆

It's a lovely day here. Warm and breezy. Dd is poorly with a bad cold and throat has a slight temperature. Both dc are still in their pjs! Dh is at work so I'm just doing housework and washing.

It's gone gorgeously hot here. We've been to Wicksteed Park today and been on a few rides. The kids loved it. 😁 I feel a bit crispy though due to the sun.

Hopefully it's nice tomorrow too, though the forecast suggests not.

Had egg and cress sandwiches and Doritos for lunch. 😋

I told Dh yesterday that Christmas was in seven months , he was ( really there is no hope for this man. He spent last Christmas binge watching "Peaky Blinders" , I will hide the remote this year)

I made Eggy Bread for breakfast then DH and I went to the (nicely air conditioned) gym.

Washing out , guinea-pigs out.
I'm thinking about making some cupcakes (non Christmassy ones but just for practice y'see)

We had a light dinner as no ones that hungry.

You can't beat a Scandi Christmas shop, Woolly. The one in Reykjavik is ace!

We drove past your house after leaving my sister's house on the IL earlier. I'd live in the garden centre next door if I were you! 😂

We're in our hotel for the next two nights now. DS is knackered, but not asleep yet. Hopefully soon as he's beside himself!

The DC had chicken, bacon and stuffing sandwiches for supper, I don't think I'm hungry enough yet. 😋🍗 DS2 will go to bed at 7.30. 😴

I'm awake. I think I need to adjust the time I go to bed.

Morning! DS2's on WiFi, I'm in bed drinking coffee. 😋

Morning all
Weather still dire here , we had thunder and lightening about 1am . We wondered what the flashing lights were lol
Not doing much today , just chillin'
I love the sound of the Christmas shop Woolly, love Scandi too.
l am just admiring the Woodland range in Dunelm , am thinking of getting a few bits for my Sil birthday in July www.dunelm.com/product/woodland-blue-hare-canister-1000095698?searchTerm=woodland
Internal have a great weekend with Ed
Perfect l like the DS haircut 100 lol
Ahhh Wreck hope everyone is feeling much better now , am liking your light lunch too!
Fluffy you are so lucky the weather is with you !
Have a great day everyone

We had a massive storm overnight here too. It's cleared the weather nicely though and it's sunny again, thankfully!

Day 2 of not enough sleep. DS is a disaster waiting to happen! DH and have had loads of sleep, however. Maybe it'll give us the patience to deal with exhausted children! 😂😂

We've been at the beach since 7:30

Had chocolate pancakes for breakfast, making avocado, tomato and basil sandwiches for lunch. 😋🍫🍅

DS is utterly kiboshed, bless him. He really wasn’t on best form today! He’s currently asleep having flaked out when he got back here (the hotel).

The weather is ridiculously muggy today. We don’t get mugginess like this at home as we have the coastal breeze. I’d almost forgotten how bad it can get!

It's muggy here too Fluffy

Had cheese and onion sandwiches for supper, DS2 will go to bed at 7.30. 😋😴

Thunder and lightning very very frightening me (Galileo!) right now!

I have one terrified child and one who's pretending not to be scared!

We got the thunder last night, there was supposed to be more today, but it didn't happen.
