Two witches and a Monkey. #MySundayPhoto

A photo every day for a year! Week 44 of #Project365

This week my Word of the Week is: Relaxed. #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:

This past week has been half term and it has been so relaxed. I wrote about all the plans we had and we didn't get half of those things done and for once I haven't let it bother me. The kids have happily played far too much Minecraft. They only got banned for a couple of hours once for arguing. 

Instead of going out in the cold we stayed in. It has been really cold here. The one time I convinced the kids to go out to meet my fella from work we got caught in the rain and it was icy. It was no surprise that we had hailstones that evening.

We have watched quite a few films this week. The girls have never been bothered with the Jurassic Park films and have never sat through a full film but they chose Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to watch mid week. It wasn't on my list of films to watch but we all really enjoyed it. It was full of action and quite sad in some places. I loved the ending. There is so going to be another film in the series.

We had a great Halloween. I bought so many pumpkins and just let the girls get on with carving them. They are experts at them now and they did a great job.

They went out trick or treating on Wednesday evening. They went as witches and went way over the top with the face paint. It was only from the pound shop so I expected them to be green for days but it amazingly washed off in one go. It may have been their best ever year for treats, they got quite the haul! 

Now Halloween is over it seems like Christmas has hit big style which makes me so happy. I bought a ton of bath and beauty things from Tesco yesterday for Christmas presents. It is all half price and I have the Christmas turkey and trimmings sandwich being delivered for my lunch. hehehe I also took a peek at my Christmas Clubcard points which I have been saving all year. I have £84 worth of vouchers to use which I am saving for the big Christmas food shop! 

It has been a lovely week. The break from school was just what we needed.

What I loved in October.

October flew over and it feels like we're hurtling towards Christmas. It seems like for all of October we were on the countdown to half term and now it's just about over. Back to school on Monday. Eek!

Strictly and X-Factor.

I love this time of year. Saturday night TV is just the best. I really want Dr Ranj to win, I don't think he will though. I think it will be one of the ladies or Joe Sugg. At the moment I am hate watching X-Factor. Nobody is really standing out as a winner to me. Guilty pleasures week really wound me up. Most of them did not sing what I would class as a guilty pleasure.

The colder weather.

I am at the point now where I am loving the colder weather. The slow cooker is being used a lot, boots are being worn and the cosy pj's have been brought out of the back of the wardrobe. I love shutting the curtains and getting cosy on an evening. Give it a few weeks and I will be complaining that it's too cold. hehehe

Chocolate Oranges.

I know you can buy these tasty treats but I only seem to eat them in the run up to Christmas. I was so excited when I seen them in Tesco for 75p. I should have bought more, the next week they had gone back up to £2.00. I did a happy dance when I saw them in our local Heron for £1. I bought five. lol

Blogtober18.

I have been following Big Family Organised Chaos's list of prompts for Blogtober18 and I did pretty well. It was great to write about things that I most probably wouldn't have. I missed a couple of prompts towards the end of the month but I have found a lot of new blogs to follow and reconnected with some blogs that lost touch with. 

Feeling better.

October hasn't been the best month health wise. Ellie had a tummy bug, I think food poisoning and then a sore throat and Becky had a cold which amazingly she kept to herself. It seems now they are both fighting fit again. I think a few lazy days during half term helped! 

Gel-a-Peel.

We reviewed a few sets throughout October and Ellie loved it. She was really taken with the Gel-A-Peel Fashion Maker and I will be buying refills so she can decorate more t-shirts.

Instagram Stories.

Watching not doing them. hehehe I have really started to enjoy watching Insta Stories. I love seeing little snippets of peoples lives. I am loving Nomipalony, TobyandRoo, SparklesandStretchmarks, TeenTweenToddler and TheReadingResidence.

Doctor Who.

I love, love, love Jodie Whittaker! She might be my favourite Doctor ever! I found it hard to like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor so this is such a great change. I really like everything about the new series. The new Tardis, the companions, the stories but not the spiders. hehehe

What did you love in October?
