Project 365 Week 8 of 2014

Project 365 Week 8 of 2014 The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseProject 365 Week 8 of 2014 The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseThis has been one super hectic week, every evening I have been up and working till well past 2am and I am almost dead on my feet! 

With deliveries, winning auction bids, conjunctivitis (Joshua) followed by a side helping of stress its been one hell of a week for me.

Saturday 15th February – A jaunt out to Matlock Bath we enjoyed fish and chips but not the rain! followed by fat pants and movies until everyone was in bed then It was back to work for me.

Sunday 16th February – Some family time and a trip out to eat leads Joshua to his love of drinks mats … after counting and rearranging we were pleased we didn’t have to wait too long or he would of been rearranging the furniture.

Monday 17th February – With weather on and off Joshua and I had a lazy day, watched some DVD’s and discovered our wood pigeons from the large tree at the bottom of the garden were not only getting brave being on our fence nearer the house, but were *cough* friendly … 

Tuesday 18th February – A super delivery arrived of the pushchair kind! we were out and about with it within 20 minutes … all will be revealed as to which one next week!! 

Wednesday 19th February – Gym for me in the morning followed by way too much work and a trip to collect my new desk … no more working on the sofa for me. Followed by a cosy night in! 

Thursday 20th February – Joshua went off out with Grandma and Grandad Oliver or a trip out. After the rain shower passed .. the first load of laundry went on the line! 

Friday 21st February – Now Joshua is getting bigger he loves nothing more than a rough and tumble play with Daddy.

    sounds like a very hectic week Jaimie you must be knackered with all those late nights. Its always satisfying to see a load of washing on the line isnt it? just a shame it all has to be collected and folded up and brought back in again! (yes, lazy of me i know!). sorry Joshua had conjuctivitis – thats just horrid x

    Love the placemat pic, we have to find ways to keep the kids entertained too as we find there’s a very small window of them being happy to wait for food! x

    I don’t know why but your photos aren’t showing for me Jaime 🙁 I tried opening them in a new tab but it said page not found.

    Yay to the washing going out on the line! I nearly bought pegs from Asda yesterday (ours were packed in the move and I have no idea where they are!) but decided against it because the garden is still of wood and stuff that needs to be moved and I can’t actually get to the washing line yet!

    rough and tumble play is great fun, but mine always got to rough and had to be calmed down. oh wood pigeons playing leap frog. Not warm enough up here to bother hanging washing out, but love my sheets in particular getting a good blow.
