The Weekly Bits & Bobs. #BestAndWorst
00:00It's that time of week again. Time for this weeks best and worst otherwise known as 'The Weekly Bits And Bobs'. I feel like this last week has flown by. Someone please tell me, where does the time go?
Negatives:
- Ellie had her dentist appointment last week. She has to go back again because she's not to keen on the dentist, she's been referred to a special dentist who will do little at a time. It's a negative because 1) I truly feel so sorry for her. For the sake of a couple of fillings, it's a lot of messing about! And 2) I have to rely on other people to take us because I don't drive and the dental clinic is a fair few miles away. I can't wait for it to be over and done with!
- My laptop is basically... No good. I wrote about how I thought it was on it's last legs last week, well, it truly is now as I can't even open Facebook without it switching off! Thankfully I can use the kids computer but it's very basic compared to my laptop. Still, it's better than nothing.
- I have gained weight. None of my clothes fit me. Still, it's incentive to LOOSE the weight though!
Positives:
- I hit 2,000 followers on Twitter. OH WOW!!! Thank you to everyone who has followed me!! My twitter handle is @OoserzoO I'm doing my best to follow everyone back :)
- Harry won man of the match AGAIN last week at his rugby match. SO proud of him! That's two weeks running! Well done H!
- I've read more books, found a couple in charity shops and have really been enjoying reading! I'm so glad I got back into it.
- Ellie did wonderfully at the dentist last week and I am so proud of her.
- Charlie's starting to get use to the homework load now I think. He doesn't seem to be struggling as much. The homework that comes with starting high school is a HUGE difference compared to primary school. It has taken a while for him to get use to, bless him.
- We went for a lovely walk and trip to the park the other day. The weather was just beautiful. I love those early evening Autumnal walks. As do the kids.
- Ellie and I made some really cute bookmarks (that were sent to us for review purposes) We had fun making those together, hehe. She enjoyed cross stitching. I'm thinking of buying her a cross stitching kit for Christmas, perhaps.
- I enjoyed a lovely walk by myself this week. I really like walking and I am trying to get back into 10k steps a day as well as eating healthy because I need to loose weight!
- Almost forgot! Blogtober is going well, I have blogged every day this month so far. I am really eager to keep it up and determined to complete it!I am really enjoying blogging, more than I ever have before.
Things to look forward to:
- Harry's 13th Birthday next week. I can not believe he will officially be a teenager, it's crazy!
- Half term! I can not wait for a break from the school routine. A week is just the right amount of time :)
- I am looking forward to seeing my grandparents and hopefully my mum this week.
- I'm really strangely looking forward to sorting out the kids rooms/deep cleaning and going through all of Ellie's toys. There's too many and we need to make some space in her room.

Sounds like a great week, despite the negatives! Well done for the twitter followers, what an amazing number to reach! I'm with you on the sort out, I strangely enjoy a good clear out too, makes me more positive I think! #BestandWorst
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post! It's good to take a moment to evaluate the good and bad points from the week and think about the things you have to look forward to. Plus, the good points outweigh the bad, so that's great! I love the adorable bookmarks by the way! Have a lovely half term :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteLove your lists. At least your bests outweigh your worsts this week. Sorry to hear about your daughters troubles with the dentist. Completely feel for her, I too had to be referred to a dental hospital as I am terrified of them! Hoping she gets something sorted soon. Well done to Harry on another man of the match! You must be beaming with pride. Oh and congrats on 2k on twitter, just gave you a follow then :-)

ReplyDeleteTwo best bits. First son had a GCSE regraded from a B to an A! Second son initiated a conversation with a new child at a new home education group!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear the positives of your week! Sorry about the dentist I hate them too. A has one and they're a lot better at dealing with children. Good luck for the rest of your month x
ReplyDeleteThe Positives definitely seem to be outweighing the negatives last week! 2000 followers is fab - I'm about 150 away from it myself. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday
