1) I've actually got a kid free night tomorrow night! Ohmygosh. This hasn't happened for a while. The boys are going fishing with there dad and spending the weekend at his. My daughter is going to a sleepover at her friends house. (Her friends mum is my best friend, we've been friends since we were eight years old! Now her daughter is 9 months older than Ellie and they are also best friends!) I don't know what I'll do with myself! Oh my days. I'll be having a long lay in Saturday, I know that much!!! (I bet I can't sleep in, haha, that'll be right, lol) I know I'm going to be so lost without any kids here, even if it is just for one night and a morning. I think I deserve a break though. Perhaps a couple of glasses of wine? A bath in peace? I can stay up mega late and not have to worry about being up early. Ha, what's the bet I'm asleep by 11? Lmao.

2) The kiddies break up for half term tomorrow! It'll be so nice not to have to rush around and being able to 'lay in' (well, until the kids wake up!) the past few days I've been having to wake them up, they've no wanted to get out of bed! I hope they'll be feeling lazy in the mornings next week LOL. Of course, it'll be lovely having them home, too and spending time together. We don't have any plans but I'd like to have a picnic at the park if the weather is nice and play lots of board games, do some arts and crafts and watch some family movies, what fun :DI hope we have some nice weather!!

3) The fact that I am feeling 10 times better than I was a week and two weeks ago. My ears still feel blocked though. That flu/cold was awful, really knocked me out tbh. I hope the kids don't get it!

What are your reasons to be cheerful this week?

Well, this week has certainly been full of ups and downs, smiles and frowns but I think there's been more smiles than anything else. 

1) It was my boys parents evening a couple of days ago. H got VERY good grades and is number 1 for effort! I am *so* pleased. He's one of the best behaved students in his class, he listens, he knuckles down and gets on with his work, he's helpful and he doesn't let anyone distract him. He's average for most subjects, a little above for reading (He loves reading just as much as I do!). C's teacher said pretty much the same about him, we need to work on improving his handwriting though! We had the same problem with H's handwriting last year but he's really improved and actually really neat now so I know we'll get there with Charlie. Might try and find some handwriting sheets to help. 

2) My daughter (she's 5) had her friend stay over last weekend for the night (she's my best friends little girl btw), they had such a  good time! It was really lovely for her to have a little girl to play dolls with (rather than boys who refuse to play dolls! Lol), she watched a DVD and then it was lights off, sleep time! They went to sleep straight away! They get along really well! The next day we painted nails (well, I painted there nails, lol) and did some games and what not, it was great fun! 

3) We are not suppose to get any more snow (in the near future any way) so hopefully that's it. I still can not believe it's snowing. In March. Eek. I really can not wait for the warm weather - spring, followed by summer. I want to start planting my flowers and seeds but can't until the weather picks up a bit. Oh, I can't wait! 

4) REALLY looking forward to comic relief, I love watching that on T.V. The kids have none uniform Friday or rather a 'wear red day' They donate £1 each (plus we have lots of 1ps and 2ps to donate, there's probably around £5ish worth) Are you doing anything for comic relief?
