A photo everyday for a year - Week 11 #Project365
This past week has been a good one....We went to see my youngest perform in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I had a few fab deliveries and our boiler broke and then was fixed within 24 hours.....Phew!
70/365 - 11th March
Homework.
71/365 - 12th March
Ellie and Monkey.
72/365 - 13th March
More homework for my teen. She wrote tweets about An Inspector Calls.
73/365 - 14th March
We went to see the school production on Joseph.
74/365 - 15th March
The boiler was fixed and we had the gas safety check too....The man checking the gas fire always jokes that the only time we switch it on is for the safety check. He's right.
75/365 - 16th March
Baylis & Harding goodies for Mother's Day which I reviewed.
76/365 - 17th March
I was sent a lovely cake from The Co-op. It arrived a bit squished but cake is cake and it still tasted good!

Two weeks nearly the same. #WotW
This week my Word of the Week is:
Sometimes I find it hard to come up with a word to describe my week....I didn't want to not write this blog post because I enjoy recapping what has gone on during the week but it feels very similar to last week....Lots of happiness, Joseph, homework and GCSE talk...
The highlight of our week was going to see Ellie sing in the choir at the school production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat....It was brilliant! I wrote a whole blog post about it. We had a great evening and there is already talk of putting on another show next year....
Becky had a meeting with the teacher in charge of the GCSE options and confirmed she has chosen well. I knew that anyway. hehehe He said there shouldn't be a problem with her studying her choices for her GCSE's which was the news we wanted to hear! Roll on September so she can get started....Becky has had more An Inspector Calls homework....She had to write a series of tweets as one of the characters....Instead of just writing them she went on PicMonkey and made them look like actual tweets....It was genius!
Ellie got sent home from school last Friday after being sick and it meant she didn't get her homework to do over the weekend....When she brought it home on Monday she wasn't keen on doing it until she realised that she had already done the maths homework sheet at the start of the school year.....
She went through and just copied the answers....hehehe She doesn't miss a trick. She said "why should she work it all out again when the school can't be bothered to give out new homework". I think she had a fair point....lol
We had a little blip in the middle of the week....The pilot light on the boiler went out and no matter what we tried we couldn't get it back on.....The boiler man was coming to do the gas safety check yesterday anyway so it was great timing....Our boiler is a back boiler and is under the fire in the living room.....He took it all to bits and gave it a good clean and had it working again in no time....A bit of dust had got in somewhere. There was nothing we could have done about it and we certainly couldn't have fixed it ourselves....Our boiler passed all the tests and is good for another year or until dust gets in it again. hehehe

Last Minute Mother's Day Gifts from Baylis & Harding....
I usually feel a bit rubbish about mothers day as I don't have one so when I was contacted about reviewing some samples of the Mother's Day gifts from Baylis & Harding I started to feel a bit more cheery and positive about Mother's Day....
£8.00 - Amazon.
This seems the perfect set to get the special lady in your life especially with spring and summer just around the corner....It seems perfect for getting feet ready for wearing sandals.
This set contains a 50ml Foot Lotion, 25g Foot Soak Crystals and a pair of super soft socks to relax and revive tired feet after a long day and that's something we all need as mothers....I know some days my feet could do with some love and care.
