February photo challenge - Week 2

Dinner

On Monday Dan made pie and mash for dinner. And it was goood.

Button

My little jar of buttons, the colours make me happy.

Sun

A cold, winter afternoon

Front door

We have the dullest front door in Britain, therefore you get a pic of our knocker instead. 

A knocker that nobody uses, enjoy.

Self Portrait

Dorky pic of me looking (and feeling) a bit awkward.

Makes you happy

Well it has to be this numpty doesn't it. He's pretty much the only person who can have me crying with laughter at myself minutes after I've been close to tears because I can't put my own socks on.

Inside your closet

It's looking a bit empty, (and dare I say, tidy) as a lot of our clothes are in the wash at the moment. It's only a small wardrobe and it's usually rammed.

The King's got the moves

This here is King Charles and he's a bit awesome. 

I've had this song stuck in my head all day and I really don't know what I love the most, the song itself, or him dancing to it.

I warn you however, it's addictive!

4 Simple Goals - February

-1-

Make curtains for bedroom

Yes, this is back on the list. I hate these curtains. Read below to find out why.

-2-

Take regular time out to just relax

I've got five weeks until Pip's due so I need to take advantage of this quiet time while I can! 

-3-

Complete at least two assignments

I took some time off from my dressmaking course time over Christmas and have managed to forget all about it since then. I was only supposed to take off two weeks and yet here we are in February!  I

 desperately need to get back in to the swing this.

-4-

Download more music on my iPod

Yes I know this is boring, but there's so much music I want to get on there and I just never get around to it. I want to sort out some playlists too and get busy listening to some toones.

Last month's goals - January

1. Fix the kitchen wall I destroyed

Done! It still needs painting, but the wall now has it's hole filled in and is all papered up again. I have to admit, I have the husband to thank for this. He has been nothing short of awesome.

2. Make a curtain for our bedroom

Nope, no where near. Not even close. We got some lovely fabric, I got my scissors out and then it all went wrong. I realised I hadn't ordered enough, I cut the fabric the wrong way into the pattern, had to make the curtains smaller than I wanted and forgot to add the lining to one of them to boot. It did not go well and there was a lot of swearing. A LOT.

3. Put up a door curtain in the hallway to keep out the draughts

Done and just in time because the weather dropped and it really has made a difference.

4. Make a draft excluder, again to keep out those bloody draughts!

And yet again, done! It sits in the hallway with the curtain and now instead of having the North Pole as our hallway, it's just a bloody cold hallway instead. It may not sound it, but it's an instant improvement.

All in all then, not bad. I think I would've completed them all too if I hadn't stupidly ordered too little fabric for the damned curtains. Who knows, maybe I can make February the first month that I complete all four goals!

February photo challenge - Week 1

February! Already!! Where is the time going??

The start of this month only means one thing to me, my birthday! 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to do anything due to not being able to move very much. This past week has been a painful and highly uncomfortable one, but we won't dwell on that. I booked the day off work and despite not actually doing anything, managed to relax and enjoy myself lots. Dan also helped me make this chococinno birthday cake in the evening which was beyond delicious - needless to say it's all gone now. 

February Photo Challenge

The start of the month also saw me stumble across this post about a photo challenge on Little Green Shed's blog. It seemed like such a fun thing to do so I decided to follow suit. However, I am far too lazy these days to post a photo every day so have decided instead to take a photo each day and then do a weekly update. Much easier.

Your view today

No matter where I am or what I'm doing, this is what I see. 

 2

Words

I treated myself to a copy of Lionheart Magazine. It's the first issue and features a couple of bloggers I follow and you know what? It's really rather good! If  you're curious, click here and treat yourself to a copy. I heartily recommend it!

 3

Hands

Another birthday, another ring. In this photo the ring was actually stuck. I tried it on to see if it went with my outfit (it didn't) and then tried to take it off again (I couldn't). Queue ten minutes of quiet panic and a slightly purple finger before it finally gave.
Stupid pregnant sausage hands. 

4

A stranger

Pip may have been 'the little dude in my tummy' for the past eight and a half months, but she's still a stranger. I have no idea who she is or what she looks like. I just know she likes to wiggle. A lot.

10am

This was how 10am looked for me this morning. Sunny, warm and chilled. A perfect Sunday morning.

And that was week one. Tune in next Sunday for the next seven photos in the challenge!
