A treat....just for me!

This weekend I bought myself a little treat.....

A Yankee Candle!!!

Its something I've always wanted but couldnt really justify paying for it but I saw one and thought "what the hell!!"

Now, I know some people buy these all the time but £12 is a luxury buy for me! - especially for a candle but they smell divine and the jar is pretty cute too!!!

Also on the weekend Fudgey had his nails trimmed! They were pretty long but after his bunny manipedi he is all neat and tidy!!!!

Lazy bunny!!!!

My little WW2 Evacuee...

Deakons class, this term, are learning about the WW2. Deakon loves it, finds it really fascinating and will read books about it and watch it on the History Channel. (Doesn't take after me there!)

Last week they were asked to dress up as evacuees and were told to take to school a simple packed lunch - fruit, piece of chocolate, biscuit/cake and jam/spam sandwiches. Also to pack some PJ's and a teddy.

Well, he looked fab!! So I took a picture and used my fancy phone to make it look old!!

Voila!

Happy weekend everyone

Tea, biscuits and a good book...

I embraced my last day off work by lazing about! Bliss.

I made a pot of tea and sat in my little conservatory and read my book - which I finished completely in one afternoon!!

Tea, biscuits...............

....and a good book!

My Mum and Dad also came round in the morning and I made a cream tea breakfast - scones with Cornish clotted cream and jam....was yummy! Mum cut me some Lilac from the tree in her garden too, I love flowers and would fill my whole house with them if I could!!!

Dont forget there is still time to enter my Giveaway and also pop along to Jenny's blog - she has a fabulous giveaway too.

Posh new specs!...

Me and Deakon have been super busy today! He went to his football training this morning then we went home for a bit of lunch and then took a walk into town.

Deak is very into science, nature, history and all things "geeky" (his words, not mine!) so we went to the library to get him some new books to read. These were his choices:

The Titanic

World War II facts

Dr Who

Dr Who (again)

and a funny children's book (the only one out of the lot from the kids section!)

Its great that he loves to read about stuff like this but not so great when he asks me questions I do not know the answer to!!! Hes more knowledgeable than me and he's only 9!!

After the library we took a look around the local museum - he thinks its wonderful that so much history comes from our little city!!

In the museum.

After that we had half an hour to kill before we both had our eyes tested so we popped into the Cornish Pasty cafe for a cuppa and a doughnut!! Yum Yum!!

Off then to the opticians and it turns out I need a stronger prescription for my VDU glasses (hazard of working in a call centre) and Deak needs his first pair of glasses for reading and school work. He was quite chuffed as he thinks they make him look more geeky now!! Bizarre child!

So here he is with his new specs looking chuffed to beans!!

Loves you Deak
