I'm sure your santa shoebox kids will love it. The containers are a great idea too. <br /><br />We have weekends when I desperately crave do-overs but those are few and far in between. This past weekend was a pause weekend where I happily lazed around. The next 6 weekends will be chaos with weddings, parties and events leading up to year end celebrations so it was a welcome break.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181578505486935687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-88819767304171045192015-10-13T17:10:44.496+02:002015-10-13T17:10:44.496+02:00I actually had one of the loveliest weekends - may...I actually had one of the loveliest weekends - maybe I should blog about that tonight?

I find it's hugely helpful to take the kids out but that can be hard on the pocket.<br />I was so with you about the ice creams and milkshakes until you got to the "help finish" part. I love my kids dearly but don't ask me to share food or drinks with them (or anyone else, really!). It used to be VERY bad, where I wouldn't eat my food if someone stole a chip off my plate, for example. But I've managed to tone it down to not sharing drinks/glasses, mostly. <br />I had an awesome time at the final Terry Pratchett Discworld novel launch on Saturday. I got to dress up as my favourite character, sip a glass or two of wine, win prizes in a Discworld quiz game and hang out with other people who love the Discworld series as much as I do. :)<br />The rest of the weekend was spent watching DVDs and relaxing at home... It could definitely have been worse!MeeAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857981201712950144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-65845443877567114082015-10-13T12:32:21.483+02:002015-10-13T12:32:21.483+02:00Yay for a winner of a weekend.

My niece took our little ones for 'horse patting' at the stables where she rides and they loved it so much. That bottle of wine looks very good too :)Sula1968https://www.blogger.com/profile/07347777273790805397noreply@blogger.com
