The Weekend Edition #69

October 29, 2017

Happy Sunday! We’re currently at my Grandpa’s house as we have been here overnight. Yesterday we had a party to celebrate his 90th birthday. It was lovely to see some family members and to celebrate such a milestone!

 

Apart from the weekend, it’s been another quiet week for us. I’ve actually been off work as it’s been half term here in the UK. It means I have been able to spend more quality time with Frugal Baby #1 and play lots of games! He likes to play chase/catch at the moment where he pretends to be either a dinosaur or a lion (these sounds are interchangeable) and chase you around 🙂

 

I’m now 31 weeks pregnant which means we’re only 9 weeks away from d-day! I can’t believe that it’s going so quickly. We got all of the newborn things down from the loft on Friday so I need to sort through those and pop them in the wash. Even seeing them in the bag has reminded me of various little outfits Frugal Baby #1 wore in those first few weeks. It does seem a long time ago. I’m looking forward to having everything sorted and ready.

 

5 things I’ve enjoyed/been grateful for this week:

1) Celebrating my Grandpa’s 90th birthday

2) Having lunch with a mummy friend but without Frugal Baby – I could eat in peace!

3) Coffee and shopping with my in laws 🙂

4) Frugal Baby has given lots of kisses this week, which is so cute.

5) Having candles lit – makes it seem nice and cosy.

 

 

In case you’ve missed them, these are the topics I’ve posted about this week:

– What We’re Buying For Our Second Child

– Review: The Millionaire Next Door

– Why I Don’t Do Matched Betting

– What Is Simple Living?

What have you enjoyed reading this week? Any plans for the week ahead? I’d love to hear about it!
