This week has been so long.....It has really dragged....I think it's been because the kids and I are waiting for December to start......Advent calendars, Elf on the shelf, things going on at school and the build up to Christmas!
On the upside Stu has had the whole week off work! It's been lovely having the....
I don't mind the time alone when he is at work but it's nice to have him here.....We've shared the housework and cooking which has been lovely for me....He's done a few DIY jobs that needed doing and came along on the school run....It's been nice to have someone to chat to on the way there.....
Stu
and the kids took over the kitchen the other night baking cakes.....Two
hours they faffed about in the kitchen....lol They did have a great
time though and the cakes were delicious!! They sure made the most of
having him off work.....
We've taken stock of the Christmas presents......Every year I try to get my girls the same amount of presents.....This year I thought I was struggling to buy for Becky.....She's at that age...Too old for toys and to young for adult things but not I have over bought for her and her pile is twice the size of Ellie's....Today that is being sorted thanks to Smyths toys and their two toys for £15 offer....hehehe
It's been a lovely week! Tonight though the TV, Twitter, Facebook and blogs will be my company....Stu is off out for a few drinks with some friends.....He doesn't go out very often.....Last time he staggered in at about 3am and spent the night in the bathroom....He was in my bad books....I would never come in that late....hehehe
Sounds like a great week and two hours to bake cakes is quite something :)
ReplyDeletehahaha! There was a lot of faffing about. lol x
DeleteSounds like a lovely week and very productive too x
ReplyDeleteIt has been! We have got so much done!
DeleteAh how lovely to have Stu home for the week with you and sounds like you've had an enjoyable week and the girls have enjoyed it too. Those cakes look yummy! Good luck with topping up Ellie's present pile and hope you have a good weekend #WotW
ReplyDeleteIt's been lovely.....Thank you! I'm done with the shopping! Ellie's pile has been topped up! Phew! x
DeleteI love offers! We managed to get some really good ones at Toys r us too! :)
ReplyDeleteAww must have been lovely having around for the whole week, gives you a break as much as he gets a break from work. Sounds like a lovely week :) xx
ReplyDeleteExactly that....Been lovely for both of us!
DeleteIt sounds like you've really enjoyed each others company this week. I hope he doesn't come in too drunk after his night out!! x
ReplyDeleteHe better not....lol He has been warned!
DeleteAh, sounds lovely having Stu at home for the week like that. Funnily enough my husband's out tonight, which is very rare too, so here I am commenting and tweeting! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
ReplyDeleteI think it's the 3rd time this year he's been out....lol I'm making the most of it catching up on my blog reading and commenting :D
DeleteSounds like a lovely week! Makes such a difference to have an extra pair of hands around doesn't it! x
ReplyDeleteIt does....It has been so relaxed. It's a shame he's back at work Monday! Thank you! x
DeleteSounds like a great week, and I agree these last few days in November are definitely dragging!
ReplyDeleteThey are! I think my girls may just explode with excitement before we get to December....lol x
DeleteOh deeear I feel a hangover maybe on the cards...! #Wotw
ReplyDeletehehehe! He'll get no sympathy from me....lol x
DeleteWow sounds like a nice week. Any week with cakes involve is nice =P
ReplyDeleteI have yet to start with Christmas. Decors is still missing in our storage room and well I cant afford gifts so we are probably just doing lots of crafts =)
#wotw
Crafts are a lot of fun though!
DeleteThank you x
Oh I love when my other half is at home, it's great having someone else here to help out...and drive me around, lol! x
ReplyDeletehehehe! They have their uses :P
DeleteHi Kim, having your husband home for the week must have been nice company (especially as he helped out with the cooking!) My Hubby Dearest thinks turning meat on a barbecue is cooking (I have to prepare everything else which he never considers!).
ReplyDeleteHow great that Stuart took the time to do some baking with your daughters. Did they clear up properly?....And I hope Stuart had a good night out and didn't get too hammered!
hahaha! I have trained him well! lol Stu is a good one!
DeleteYes they did eventually clean up after a bit of nagging! x
Always the way! x
DeleteAw it's lovely when they get time off isn't it...then even nicer when you get the TV back to yourself ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is and yes......Love him to bits but it is nice to get control of the tv :D
DeleteIt's great having them around now and again isn't it? x
ReplyDeleteI love it when my OH has a few days off, it's a lot of fun, and I feel like I've had a break too :) #WotW
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun
