A busy week and a new tipple.....

This week has been very strange with my second son starting nursery. Jenson was three in October and has now started at the nursery linked with my eldest sons school........how lost was I ???? I had made arrangements for my youngest son to have a day with nanny so that I could give Jenson my full attention, after settling him in I made a slow but perfectly timed exit only then to find myself completly lost.....what would I do....where would I go......no nappy bag......no pushchair....nothing.....so as Mondays normally go I went to the supermarket, well that took half and hour and not wanting to drift too far from the school I decided the  perfect place to loose myself was the local recycling centre.......and how the time flew.....I lost myself in other peoples rubbish....seived through the piles of old pots, plates and chairs........and came out with a small wooden childrens play kitchen for £4, a hand painted childrens magazine rack £2 and an extra large saucepan £2, perfect for the weekly family stew.......

The next day and the same routine and once I returned home again with my own company I decided to put up some recent photos that had been collecting dust in the dresser draw......what do you think....

Whilst pottering around I found a familiar little felloow who should be sleeping the year away in an old shoe box.....oh well he will have to stay put now until next year.....

Tonight once the two small boys were dreaming of tomorrow I decided to leave the older one playing lifeboats with daddy and slip off to do a bit of food shoping in peace and quiet......I decided to visit a competitors supermarket ( I work in one in the town) and as always I have to slip upstairs and have a mooch around the homes and clothes section.....slightly disappointed as I had not found anything NEW i slipped down to look around the flowers and plants and look who I found looking very sad on the reduction counter....a new pot and a drop of water and my 50p plant will soon look a million dollars.....

 

Finally I had an order from the other half for some liquid refreshments and fancied something different myself......woooooow and what a find......for those of you who love, as i do, the taste of Elderflower heres one for you to try....

and at something like £2.50 a bottle it is truly addictive.......

Hope you are all able to get out a little now the white lady has moved on for a while.....

Take Care
