A photo every day for a year! 9th - 15th September. Week 37 of #Project365

We seem to have got back to normal after having a few weeks of excitement, being away on holiday then a night away for Becky's birthday last weekend. We've found our new normal and routine and it seems to be working well for us. My brain and body now thinks I am a morning person and I am making the most of it while I am enjoying getting up early. Yesterday by 2pm I had tidied the house, done some cleaning, put the shopping away, paid some bills, went out for breakfast with my girls, been to see my dad and fixed his spreadsheets, had a pint at the pub, made some curried carrot soup, got 3 loads of washing washed dried and put away, watched a couple of episodes of Fear the Walking Dead and started writing this blog post. lol Who even am I? I'd like to keep up with the productivity but I know it won't last.

We are looking forward to tonight and the start of the new series of Strictly! It seems strange being at home on a Saturday night after having 2 weekends away but I am looking forward to getting in my pj's and opening a bottle of wine.

Now for a photo everyday.

Chips, baked beans and chips

We surprised Becky with a night in a hotel and a visit to the all you can eat place in Hull. We had a great time and stuffed ourselves. We were in bed by just after 10pm as we were all so full. lol

Becky's 21st birthday and her favourite present was the 6ft cardboard cut out of Harry Styles, him out of One Direction. She thought it was such a good idea for a present as she is so hard to buy for.

The paperwork came through saying Ellie's Maths GCSE grade had gone up. She still had to have a maths lesson at college on Monday until she could take it in to show them. With the extra GCSE she could have moved up to the higher electrical engineering course but she's happy where she is, she's planned her life and wants to learn the basics before jumping into the tougher stuff.

I finally saw one of the new 50 pence's with King Charles on.

On TikTok I saw you could turn the Sky TV menu into dark mode. Settings, Accessibility and then put high contrast on! So simple and it looks so much better than the blue or pink earlier in the week when the Barbie movie was available to purchase.

My sunflower is about 5ft tall now, it is the only thing thriving in my garden at the moment.

Becky got chips, baked beans and cheese from our local cafe and I am sure they gave her extra. There was easily enough there for 2 people.

  5. Wow! You have been so productive now you are on team morning! I love the life size cut out of Harry Styles, what a brilliant idea for Becky's 21st birthday present. It actually looks very realistic! Pj's and a bottle of wine on a Saturday night sounds like bliss.

  6. We were looking forward to Strictly starting too – it’s the one thing that we all love watching together. Sounds like Becky had a lovely birthday. I don’t think I’ve seen any coins yet with the King’s head on them. Your sunflower is doing well. #project365
