In July I was grateful for... #365DaysOfGratitude

I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in and have on my private Facebook account every day and I thought I would share here too. I am hoping to continue it for the rest of the year and longer.

In July I was grateful for..

Day 182 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for Netflix. We've watched the latest episodes of Stranger Things and they were so good. I want to watch season 5 NOW!!!

Day 183 of #365DaysOfGratitude

Day 184 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for a soak in the bath to ease my achy legs. I've walked miles and miles over the weekend. We have had the best time at the show, just a shame that Becky wasn't with us, she had to work. Next year she will book her holidays in early!!

Day 185 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for Stu spending his day off helping me with the housework, I did none over the weekend as we were out at the show. He also found time to faff around with his computer and finished watching the latest episodes of Stranger Things. 

Day 186 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for Spaghetti Bolognese for tea. It is probably one of my families favourite meals. So simple but so good.

Day 187 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for the fantastic DPD delivery driver who always brings my parcels, he's been here every day so far this week, he must be sick of the sight of me. lol He'll be back tomorrow too. hahaha

Day 188 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for a fun trip to the cinema and a quick look around Primark.

Day 189 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for a productive day. Crossed so many things off my to do list and I feel like I can now have a nice, relaxed weekend.

Day 190 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that I had a little help with the jobs around the house from the kids! Makes a nice change. Usually on a Saturday Becky is sleeping from a night shift but her work shifts have changed and Ellie would have been playing out but she's grounded. (again). The little madam gave her phone to someone to look after and he had to be in before her so dropped it off her which was kind of him but then it meant I couldn't get in touch with her and she had no idea of the time which meant she was late in. I should think myself lucky, when I was a kid there was no such thing as mobile phones. My parents must have been beside themselves. 

Day 191 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for a super relaxed Sunday. It has been a lovely day but a little too hot outside for my liking.

Day 192 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that Stu got the new sink and unit put in the bathroom. He made it himself and I think he did a fantastic job. My job tomorrow is to give the bathroom a good clean, it's covered in dust and sawdust.

New sink unit

Day 193 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that it seems a little cooler tonight. I've been in a right grump today because of a rotten sleep last night.

Day 194 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for the food shop being delivered. We had to get it a couple of days early as my Gousto box wasn't delivered on Sunday because the driver apparently couldn't get here.

Day 195 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for for a walk out to see my dad and of course his partner Sarah. 

Day 196 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for the weekend. It seems to have been a long week. We're tired and are ready for the summer holidays. 5 more school days to go.

Day 197 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for shorts even though the kids think my whiter than white legs are hilarious!

Day 198 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for a day in front of the TV watching Grey's Anatomy.

Day 199 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for ice!! I've used so much in drinks! I am so over this heat.

Day 200 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for curtains and keeping them closed all day keeping some of the heat out! We still sweated buckets though!

Curtains closed

Day 201 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that it has cooled down compared to yesterday! I am looking forward to a better nights sleep tonight.

Day 202 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful that I could get a delivery slot with Asda for tomorrow because Tesco did a piss poor job of sending my food shop today. 29 unavailable items. All my fridge and freezer stuff. Their fridges and freezers broke during the heatwave and they are struggling to get stock delivered. They really should have said the items were unavailable when I was doing the order. Very sneaky!

Day 203 of #365DaysOfGratitude 
Today I am grateful for the end of the school year! No more getting up early on a morning and rushing about. Well not until September anyways.

Day 204 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for wine!! 

Day 205 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for the rain! It's chucking it down here and my garden desperately needs it!

Day 206 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for our new Sky box, we updated to Sky Q! There's a couple of things that I am not keen on but I am liking it. Got Netflix, Disney+ & Spotify on it so Becky can have her Xbox back. hehehe

New SkyQ box

Day 207 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for getting some little jobs done around the house. The cupboard under the kitchen sink is now organised again. I am sure my family think nothing about putting empty bottles back in.

Day 208 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for lunch from the chip shop. I am totally blaming the kids for putting the idea of chip butties into my head.

Day 209 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for a day with my family! It seems ages since Becky and Stu weren't working at the same time. It was nice to spend some time together and see my dad and Sarah too.

Day 210 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for chocolate brownies and carrot cake baked by Ellie!

Day 211 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful for a fun day out with my girls to Hull Pride.

Day 212 of #365DaysOfGratitude

  1. I was thankful for air conditioning! LOL. It was hot here too and while I did spend a bit of time outside each day for fresh air I definitely relied on our air conditioning to keep me cool. I was also so grateful to see my sister and nephews when we went on vacation. We had such a fabulous time together and I'm already trying to think of another place I can rent a large house for us all to enjoy again before all these big kids get too big to want to come with us.
