Once I had finished my work call last night – we sat down as a family to watch a film – Hubby chose it, Return of the Jedi 🙂

Last week he was given a bottle of sparkly wine as a thank you for the mentoring work he has been doing.  He decided to open it. It was very yummy, and we drank it all.  However I had only had a bowl of soup to eat for dinner, and it just really went to my head.  Obviously hubby thought this was a good thing, thinking that he would be getting some 😉  Unfortunately, it had the affect of making me feel a bit giddy and tired and then pretty much unconconsious!  As soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone!  Woke up around 5 when my daughter went to the loo and an almighty headache, which has lingered most of the day. Serves me right for drinking posh wine on an almost empty stomach!

Today I have been washing and ironing mostly, managed to colour my hair and go shopping to top up on food things to take with us to my mums.  Sounds silly, but she really has no concept of just how much the lads eat now, so I generally take a few supplies with us.  We are having an earlyish dinner and hope to be leaving around 7pm. Usually takes us about 3 hours.

Hoping the weekend will go ok. It’s always pretty exhausting, my cousins always make the effort to visit while we are there, and my sister and her family are all going to be having dinner with us on sunday before we go home.  So the house is always full of noise and cups of tea are constantly being made. Add that my mum now has 3 cats and it can get interesting sometimes!

Right better go – still have some stuff to pack, hope everyone has a lovely weekend

love and blessings xx
