52 Weeks of Gratitude – Week Twenty-Four

paperchase goodies

  1. A parcel full of goodies from the lovely people at Paperchase, won on an Instagram giveaway arrived this week!
  2. Feeling grateful for online shopping – I hate going to town, so I’ve been ordering gifts for a certain ‘C’ festival this week!
  3. A couple of nights where I’ve slept in my bed all night, and not ended up on the sofa with backache
  4. Finally finding the mojo to start painting the bathroom….
  5. Lots of lovely orders last night after I announced my shop is having a hiatus while I have a baby
  6. Morning baths – feels really decadent {even if it is the only way to stop my back aching so much some days!}
  7. Being *almost* finished in Beastie’s nursery, just need a carpet now! 
  8. Downton – I’m not a big TV watcher, but I do like Downton Abbey – it’s my weekly treat one night when G’s at work :)
  9. Home Ed Group today – it’s the only time I manage to sit and do nothing for a whole day! In need of a rest and a catch up with friends
  10. looking forward to tomorrow morning, when the kiddos all have groups and I’ll have two whole hours to myself = bliss.
