Rainy days and Sundays

The last couple of days have been a bit of a rush ~ I can't believe that the weekend is almost over already ~ I don't even feel like I have had a break and the fact that the clocks went forward today didn't help ~ losing that hour is a real pain ha ha !!

It also means that the children did not want to go to bed at the usual time ~ as it was still very light outside and they decided that meant they could stay up!! Eventually they saw it my way (I think the threats of no treats this week helped matters slightly!!) ~ and went to bed....

Not alot to report from today ~ I treated myself to a new cardigan this morning while we were out shopping ~ I liked the colour and decided that I have lots of tops that I can wear it over ~ so I bought it! I don't usually wear bright pink ~ but decided that summer will come (oneday) and it is quite bright and cheery and I am in need of something bright in my wardrobe.

I haven't updated since Friday ~ so just a quick update on the walking ~ it went really well, the first 2 miles are behind me now ~ it wasn't as exhausting as I had expected and it felt good getting back out there in the fresh air again.........The only very slight problem was the fact that the lovely sunny weather that we had all day on Friday ended about 2 hours before the walk ~
Then the rain started ~ followed by the strong winds ~ followed by more rain and then a bit more....(you get the picture!) ~ SO ~ we had to have a slight change of route (avoiding the woods and the mud) and stuck to a route that has a path all the way round.
We were soaked when we got back ~ all the way through ~ but it was still worth it (???).

We are sticking to just 2 miles a week at the moment ~ so no walking until next Friday ~ then we will be increasing to Mondays and Fridays.

The picture below is especially for my good friend Dani who commented on my last post that she would love to see a picture of me with my new training shoes and my PJ's (which is how I was wearing them in prior to their first outing) ~ so here you go Dani .............

They are still lovely and clean and shiny and new ~ don't expect that to last too long though!

And finally ~ here are the pictures of my lovely little Lauren with her Dance trophies and certificates.

She has now decided that she wants a shelf up on the wall in her bedroom for all her awards and wants all the certificates framed and up on the wall ~ so looks like I will be quite busy this next week ~ I am not very good at putting up shelves ~ so that should be interesting!!
