My Week That Was...

The summer holidays seem to be flying by! Half way already eek - that means back to school and work in three weeks *boo, hiss* although we still have lots planned that I'm looking forward to.







Monday we had family over in the evening so we spent the day baking flapjacks (the Mini Mes keep requesting these), making our own mint choc and marshmallow ice cream and watching movies.

Tuesday was a quiet one at home with a bit of housework thrown in too. The Mini Mes seemed to wake on the wrong sides of their beds so staying in was a good decision with the rain too.

Wednesday we spent a lovely day at the zoo - you can read more about that here and see the lovely pictures. The sun shone, we met up with some friends that I've not seen since March 2010 and we enjoyed watching the various animals.

Thursday we had a bike ride to the shops and a bit of a chill day. The Mini Mes were both exhausted from the previous day.

Friday we headed to town first thing. We returned some library books and the Mini Mes collected their stickers, certificates and medals for completing the summer reading challenge. We popped to the pet shop and collected some holiday feeder for the fish and some treats for Spartan. We had a subways for lunch (yum) and in the evening we tested a product we received to review (the review and giveaway is scheduled for Friday while we are away!)

Saturday was a day at home with housework and a bit of packing. Sunday was pretty much the same ensuring everything was sorted ready for our few days break this week.

What did you get up to last week?

Monday Me #4

I hope you all had a fab weekend and managed to squeeze in some valuable me time last week to share. A bit of time to ourselves is vital to relax, think and refresh our mind... and restore our sanity!.

My Monday Me

Last week my mum treated me to a few bits in Lush when we were shopping and I've thoroughly enjoyed some tub time in the evenings! I adore Lush products and this week I've used a Creamy Candy, Sex Bomb and Dorothy. They smell delicious but my all time favs are still Twilight, Sweetie Pie and Comforter... anything feminie that smells like a sweet shop generally!

Saturday we were child free from 10am so I made the most of some me time with a foot long tikka subway and a trip to see Spiderman at the cinema. I love Marvel movies and I actually felt this was better than the original. Jamster has been asking to see it since so I will probably go again during the summer with the Mini Mes too.

In the evening I headed to The Imli Lounge in Northampton for a wonderful curry with the Mr, my brother and my parents. I indulged with a lamb tikka masala, pilau rice, keema naan and bombay potato OINK. It was fab though.


Sunday after a lovely lay in the Mr and I headed to Hollowell for the annual Steam and Heavy Horse show. Again I scoffed naughty foods in the form of a hog roast roll with stuffing and some caramel and chocolate fudge. The mud was incredibly slippy and deep but thankfully I had my funky floral wellies on!

Even after all of the above my exercise and calorie counting, Monday - Friday at least, has paid off with a 2lb loss!

What have you done this week for you? I would love to hear!
