Reasons to be Happy

Reasons to be Cheerful at Mummy from the Heart

You make me smile
You're not from round here

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?

  2. Oh 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!

    It looks like everyone is looking forward to the holidays haha, I know I am! x

  3. Oh enjoy your 6 weeks off - yyyeeeaaah!
    I 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.
