Day 10

Posted on by Kitty364

Today is our wedding anniversary! We have been together for 18 years but married for 12.

Every year, hubs gets me a present related to these theme for the year. 12 year is silk (or pearl depending on if you are traditional or modern) and hubs got me a silk eye mask (I have been wearing these a lot recently to help me sleep and they work really well!) and a silk blush make-up set. He then went on to surprise me with an oyster opening at www.pearlswithbreckon.com getting me a gorgeous pendent. I also got 4 beautiful pearls.

He ended up being off work as he had a bad headache so that was a nice little surprise (albeit a sorry one as he was not well). He then brought a sweet treat for us to enjoy.

Yesterday was also the day that the England Women’s euro finals took place and the England team beat Germany in a smashing 2 – 1 nail biter! Find out more here.

Day 9

Nothing eventful happened today. Mum and dad are coming up on Monday so I have made sure the house is tidy, not that much needed doing because I have been keeping on top of. I am sure however, there will be something that she’ll pick up on.

Today was hubby’s first day at work when I am on the holidays. Due to my changing wages, he has upped his hours at work and now works 4 hours on a Thursday, Friday and an extra 2 on top of the original 8 on a Saturday and Sunday. For the most part, it was uneventful! I did manage to stay on top of the housework though and avoid a nana nap!

Day #6 of the holidays and I have managed to avoid having an afternoon nap, which, in itself is an accomplishment.

I have not really done much today – kept on top of the house work, did a load of laundry, went for a walk. I have also done a little bit of painting in my Harry Potter watercolour sketch pad. It is really good quality paper (300gsm) with a lovely design printed on them.

I have also got a great deal on some Zebra pens – £10 for the box!

Whoop whoop! I can finally see the kitchen floor – all the washing is caught up on! I shall enjoy this for the whole 5 minutes it shall probably last. I did , however, succumb to an afternoon nap.

Day #4 of the hols and I mostly feel productive because I have avoided napping today! Got up early, on with the never ending battle with washing and ironing and managed a walk as well as sorting through arts, crafts and stationery supplies

Day #3 of the holidays and already on with it being a winner! Today was J’s sports day and isn’t something I normally get to see but today I got to be a mum! I put her on the bus, watched her sports day and I’ll be there to see her off the bus at the end of the day!

Day #2 of the holidays and the house is now fettled! I feel very accomplished! Other than keeping on top of things, the holiday is now my own!

What has happened this year?

This year, I have worked at a different school so as to be spared the horrific behaviour of that woman. In the end, I have had to stay at the new school because they could not guarantee I would be safe from further intimidation and harassment. I am KS2 lead, so that isn’t too bad, mainly because I feel the morals of the company are all just so wrong – they seem so keen to catch people out, put people under pressure – it is just wrong.

But.. it is the summer holiday’s now, so let the fun begin!
