A photo every day for a year! 15th - 21st February Week 8 of #Project365

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a good one. Our weekend has been a really nice mix of getting things done around the house, like putting new shelves up and having a bit of fun too. I’m actually writing this yesterday morning because the plan was and hopefully still is that Stu and I head out for a nice meal and a couple of drinks. Nothing wild, just food we don’t have to cook ourselves and drinks we don’t have to pour in our own kitchen. The girls were outraged that they weren’t invited and they were being forced to have a takeaway at home. I think they’ll survive the trauma. lol

Now for a photo every day!

M&S Cakes
My ring and pancakes
My implant card and my fella
Shoe rack and Terry's Cream eggs

Cakes but not just any cakes, they were M&S cakes. I can't resist buying treats whenever I shop in M&S. Their food is so fancy. I joked with Stu that once the kids have moved out, we'd be doing our full weekly shop in M&S. We’ll have posh ready meals, fancy puddings and probably salmon on a random Tuesday. That’s the dream!

I took a photo of my ring for a blog post. It got me thinking about how Stu and I have been together for coming up 20 years this summer. That is just under half of my life, which seems crazy but crazy in a good way! It feels like five minutes ago and a hundred years ago all at once, we’ve done so much in that time.

Pancake Day and the girls of course went for the chocolate spread. I just stuck to lemon juice and golden syrup! Years ago, I never thought I would be able to make pancakes but on Tuesday every one that I made was perfect, well apart from the first one. That is always a disaster until the pan heats up properly.

The day I had been dreading for the last month or so arrived, getting my contraceptive implant changed but it went well and I was given this little card with the details of when it needs changing and information about the implant. It says it’s located in the inner side of the upper arm, which then sent my brain off on a random tangent. What happens if someone doesn’t have arms? I ended up Googling it because I needed to know. Turns out it can be placed in other areas with enough fatty tissue, like the thigh or abdomen.

When we were shopping for painting supplies, I asked Stu if he wanted a roller with a splash guard on and he said no, he'd be careful! This was him being careful. lol He managed to get paint all over himself but somehow not on the carpet, the walls that weren’t meant to be painted or the ceiling. So, technically, he did a great job!

We got a new shoe rack! You wouldn’t think that’s exciting but in a house where shoes seem to multiply overnight it kind of is. This one is half the length of the old one and twice the height, yet somehow it fits more shoes. There is now no excuse for shoes being left around the house.

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Eggs! Terry's has been my favourite chocolate for as long as I can remember and now they’ve made eggs with a creamy centre. Of course I had to try them and they are really nice but I still don’t think they're better than a Cadbury Creme Egg.

  1. I think you'd have to go a long way to beat a Cadbury's Creme Egg although I did try a Lindor egg recently. It was essentially one of their truffles but egg shaped and small for the price they're charging! Still yummy thought. I'm glad our nearest Marks & Spencer's is 2 bus rides away otherwise I'd be shopping there a lot! Thankfully I don't have an Ocado account either so I can't get it delivered.
    We have 2 shoe racks in our hall even though there are only 2 of us. One is completely filled with Hubby's shoes and we share the other one. I thought it was women who collected shoes!

  3. A weekly M&S food shop, that would be a dream!

  4. Cadbury's chocolate was such a treat when my family vacationed in Canada. It wasn't available in the USA back then, or at least not in any stores we had. Now it is hard to resist when I walk down the candle aisle at the grocery store. Yum! Kim, I enjoyed your photos this week and am glad the contraceptive implant change went so much better than you expected! Blessings for a great week ahead!!

  5. I totally thought that pic of Stu was with a filter! oh dear! Cadbury eggs, I love the little chocolate coated ones, not the cream ones. Reese's peanut butter eggs are the best though. :). I enjoy visiting your blog!

  9. Good job to Stu in getting paint on himself and the walls :). Terry's chocolate orange egg looks really good. I do like the Cadburry ones- especially the caramel ones. The shoe rack looks great- it's wonderful to have a place for all the shoes! I hope your Sunday is going well :).

  10. I hope you had a nice meal out. My kids all have chocolate spread on their pancakes, but I didn't have to lift a finger this year. I bought a shoe cupboard for my hallway, it soon got filled up, but nobody uses it but me. Shoes are still left all over the place.

  11. Those cakes do look very fancy and delicious! I too would love to shop at M&S every week, maybe one day of I win the lottery.
    20 years is amazing, it goes by so fast doesn't it though. I love the photo of a paint speckled Stu, I hope it all washed off easily, good news it missed the carpet.
    I hope the shoe rack helps, we all have our own boxes in a kalax unit now but my lot still just kick them off and leave them.

  13. Hope the pain splatters all came off. Those cakes look lovely. We tend to get our Sunday bread and pastries from M&S if I need to go into town. Definitely a nice treat. I wasn't keen on those eggs, which is probably better for me! Easter chocolate is definitely my downfall.

  14. I love the picture of Stu! At first I thought it was glitter. Haha. And a new shoe rack is very exciting! I always get excited about anything that helps keep our house tidier or solves a problem that's been driving me crazy forever.
