My Week That Was Week 39

Last week was a slow sort of week. One moment I was bored stiff the next the time flew, then it seemed to stand still again. I have no idea what that's about, just me? Probably. I enjoyed some healthier meals, some comforting meals and some damn right junk food snacks (mainly chocolate) whilst moaning about my ever expanding waistline (but I did lose 2lb, must have been the extra walking efforts. I've been taking longer to get home as more active exercises are making my heart palpitations worse but I've found new ways to go, or walked slower to window shop or take more hills for my legs (and butt) I'm at a very low level sit up wise but it'll improve!

I moved some furniture around in the house on Wednesday which has opened up the landing and although my rooms a little crowded, when it comes to putting out the charity bags and all the presents are either sent or under the tree I will get some space back!

On Thursday Mum gave me a lift to the new fire station to meet the school reception class for their trip. We learnt about staying safe, saw all their equipment (not that equipment!) all the children got to sit in a fire truck and then use the hose outside! They had a wonderful time and I really enjoyed helping out. I can't wait to sort my provisional and help in the school next year.

I wrapped some gifts this week, they need to be posted as they are for good friends and a blogger Christmas gift swap. I'm not super organised don't worry. Hubby took photos of me wrapping, I gave him a big smile to shut him up and it's my favourite photo of myself for a long time!

I was pleased with my bargains this week. T shirts, some Christmas gifts and letter writing sets were just some of my bargains. I've snuggled with my boy and enjoyed new novels with my girl.

At the weekend I took about 2 hours to make a Battenburg cake for Dad as its one of his favourites.
I called him early on Friday to say happy birthday but we couldn't visit until Sunday. We went to my Grans house and had a lovely roast with cake for pudding. My Gran has a new dog who fits right in to the family, she's bonkers and we love her already so much. Sadly Little A came down poorly so I've started the week with a very run down, tired and upset little boy.

I hope you all had a great week and be sure to check back in to see how my week 40 has gone!
