Hello there and happy Friday! I've been thinking, the first few months of the year drag and since October time has flown over! I’m torn between wanting Christmas to hurry up because I love it and wanting everything to just slow down a little so I can actually enjoy it without feeling like someone’s pressed fast forward on my life. Anyway, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea again to share what I've been loving over the last week, week 50. We are so close to the end of the year!
Not catching the cold!
I'm classing this as a big win. I’ve dodged the cold, the one my eldest had. Bless her but the quarantining her to her bedroom worked. She’s better, she’s back at work and so far none of us have caught it. I feel like I should get a medal for avoiding germs.
A little treat!
You know when your kids do something small that just warms your heart more than any grand gesture could, Ellie did exactly that. She was out and about minding her own business and spending more money than she planned and she spotted a Maltesers Reindeer and bought me one! They only cost about a pound but she thought of me and I am never going to refuse chocolate! This is the kind of parenting win they don’t tell you about in all the books, it’s moments like this that make you think that they have been listening and I have raised a thoughtful child!
Half the Christmas food shop is done!
I went out with my dad during the week and bought all the freezer stuff for Christmas. We went with turkey and gammon for the meat, I got the sprouts with bacon bits and of course some extra stuffing because you can never have enough stuffing! I also bought a ton of party/picky bits. Mini quiches, sausage rolls, mini pizza, chicken on sticks and things like that! The freezer is full and I had a game of Tetris fitting everything in but it will keep up going well into the new year.
This weird sky!
Now this was a bit strange. I was sat here on Sunday, minding my own business and I glanced out the window. The sky was orange and not the usual sunset strip of colour either, the whole sky looked like someone had thrown a giant Instagram filter over it. There is no filter needed on the photo because nature was doing its own weird editing. It was eerie but also really pretty in an should I be worried kind of way.
Amazon Prime!
I need to take a moment to appreciate my eldest girls shopping skills! She absolutely smashed her Christmas shopping. She started Monday afternoon and was finished by Tuesday evening. She ordered just about everything with Amazon Prime and there have been deliveries all week. She wouldn't have managed without it. She picked up the last few bits in town and she's done, apart from the wrapping which she says she is doing tomorrow.
Spotify Wrapped!
I was late in seeing my Spotify Wrapped and last weeks post was already scheduled so it's making this week! Of course Taylor Swift was the top artist in our house but surprisingly Whiskey in the Jar by Metallica was our top song! I think we all listen to it, it's one of our families favourites.
Harry Potter!
I am having my annual watch of the Harry Potter movies. I only started watching because it said on Netflix they were leaving soon. My youngest has been watching them too and I cheated on her yesterday and watched the 5th one without her. I'm not even sorry, I'll happily watch it again.
What have you loved over the past week?
