week at a glance

Week at a glance is something I came across at a blog called For another one . I thought it was a really great idea for a post so here goes!

Week at a glance .... well its been a wet week in the UK we have had loads of rain but they still say we will have shortages of water ????? However, it has been good for the garden and it does make our tiny island very green. I don't mind rain if I am at home and it brings memories of my daughter Natalie dancing in the rain when she was little lol

We have been working on the house this week. We converted our garage to a studio apartment for our daughter a few years ago. She is now getting married in September and as her partner Rob is living here space was short. So  clever daughter found a sun room or conservatory as we call them to add to the side.A door was made  through into the garage part and they now have a one bedroom apartment with a nice sitting room.


Its been a huge amount of mess and work but they will have so much more space, even if it means she may never move out lol. Its so hard for young people to get there own home these days. No mortgages and high private rental rates mean there is little or no chance!

I also look at my week at a glance and see bridesmaid dresses! Those who read my little blog will know what I mean. Those of you that are new ( and welcome) I am making 7 bridesmaid dresses !!! These have been sending me rather slowly mad lol the stress involved is high but I think i am nearly there. I so hope on the day they look good and not homemade, so watch this space.


Weight loss ...... I am the first to admit I have been abit lacking in this department for a few months. I just lost my way but I am going to be better this week and I did lose a pound last week . I have a lot to lose so anyone reading this going through the same , keep in touch with me .. we can do it!


So that is a rough guide to my week at a glance I hope you will come back !

    I am a little fed up with all this rain now and am hoping for some sunny days soon.

    A lb off is great at least it is in the right direction.

    Best of luck the the rest of the week x
