My reasons to be smile definitely don't involve sunshine as yet another week of 'summer' goes by with more rain, thunder and lightening! However I am excited about the possibilty of sunshine soon...
Holiday
The kids are possibly, fingers crossed, spending a Wednesday-Sunday in August with their dad once he confirms it so the Mr and I are going abroad for 5 nights! It will be the first time abroad without the children but the thought of relaxation, sunshine and cocktails sounds amazing and I really can't wait. We just need to pick somewhere to jet off to... suggestions welcome!
Holiday part two
The Mini Mes finish school tomorrow and I finish work for 6 weeks *yay*. They have a fun day at school today with bouncy castles, face painting, jugglers and performers and a picnic lunch with ice cream too. Tomorrow is mufti and toy day - what a lovely way to finish the academic year.
Meal out
I enjoyed a delicious meal out with the Mr and my mum last night at The Harvester. I have only ever been there once before and I had forgotten how good it is. Unlimited fresh salad and then a juicy 8oz rump steak followed by a cookie sundae. It was a lovely treat after my recent effort to lose weight.
What reasons do you have to be cheerful this week?
I hope you will enjoy your holiday but bet you will miss the children.
ReplyDeleteI will miss them soooo much. I'm looking forward to a few days break though :) x
DeleteOh fantastic how lovely for you, enjoy! I went to Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote in May and stayed in La Penita (booked though a site called Holiday Nights) and I absolutely loved it. Clean accommodation, beautiful weather, right on the beach, great pool... perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone is looking forward to the holidays haha, I know I am! x
We have been looking at that area as well as malta and tunisia so far. I'll have a nosey at the hotel you mentioned :)
DeleteYea I can't wait - 6 weeks off work too yay! x
Oh enjoy your 6 weeks off - yyyeeeaaah!
ReplyDeleteI am off since 5th July but due to redundancy.
And am going to Ireland in August again, for a big wedding.
RE: things to do for kids, I always go where my relatives are, so don't have a tourist view of Ireland but it is WONDERFUL.
RE: the Lemonade Diet, Google the Master Cleanse and if you have a Kindle download it; it's fab.

Hope you find somewhere exotic and lovely to go to. Everyone seems to be celebrating the school holidays coming round
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your ME and Him time :) and then have fun the rest of the time with the children 6 weeks off? i'd be driven mad by then..lol.. x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you have just made me very hungry with that photo of a cookie sundae. Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAs much as we love our children it's great to have that time away from them isn't it?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break when you get it!
