Jubilee swap...

My Jubilee Swap parcel came from the lovely Emily, we had a bit of a 3 way mix up but it's sorted itself out nicely and my parcel will be winging its way to Jewel this week ;)

I love getting mail and this parcel was gorgeous, so thank you so much, Emily!!

The rain is dripping off my nose.......

So, Monday was a little bit rainy ;)

There's not much to do on a rainy Easter Bank Holiday but feeling a bit crazy we decided to go to...........

Barry Island!!!!

Walked across the beach, and up a small hill to the edge of the coast and got absolutely soaking!!! 

One of the best, random afternoons I've had in a while

Happy Easter...

Happy Easter everyone, hope you have all had a lovely day.

I have had a nice relaxing day, breakfast in bed, eating chocolate, a lovely roast dinner and then a hot bubbly bath!

I had this gorgeous Tinkerbell egg off my sister, brother in law and niece....its far to nice to eat!!!

And I had an Egghead off my parents...............

....which I ate for my breakfast ;) Nom Nom!!

I am feeling like quite a fatty today!! But I keep telling myself that it's OK as I have started swimming again, so I will be able to burn off all this chocolate this week (hopefully)!!!

My niece also enjoyed the masses of chocolate and after dinner asked for 3 of her mini bunny chocolates, then changed her mind and asked for a "really big egg", so we compromised and gave her half an egg!

Deakon also had a good day, he managed to get about 8 eggs, plus smaller ones from an egg hunt my parents did.....I'll be bribing some of these eggs off him at some point....bad mum!!!

Day off work again tomorrow so I'm going to Hobbycraft for some bits to make some birthday cards and some more wool for a blanket I'm making...I've learnt to crochet, so I'm making granny squares at the moment!!

Have a lovely bank holiday Monday, peeps

Happy daisy....

My friend in work gave me this daisy to make me smile the other day at work, I was having a bad day :(

 I love daisies, they are my most favourite flower and it did cheer me up.

Its crazy that Spring has come around so fast, the weather has been beautiful but not sure that will last much longer (according to Mr Weatherman) but hopefully, fingers crossed, this is one of the times he is wrong!

I'm off work for the next 2 days, nice to have a bit of rest, so will be mostly doing absolutely nothing!!! Bliss!!! 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend

Happy mother's day......

I hope all you yummy Mummys had a lovely relaxing day!

I took my Mum and Deakon up to the Wetlands for a walk and a coffee. It's such a lovely place to go, even when it is grey and rainy like this.....

Deakon bought me a new pair of PJs for Mothers Day. It may be bordering on crazy the amount of PJs I have now. Love them all though!

Yesterday I had a parcel waiting for me when I got home. The lovely Catherine (Beans Mummy) had sent me my Snail Mail parcel.....all the way from Australia.

I had a gorgeous notebook (to add to my growing collection), a cute necklace, buttons, and a letter..... Thank you so much, Catherine, I loved it and I am posting yours this week.
