How come this week has gone so fast? I thought I had loads of time before the children were back and now we’re nearly there!
All traces of Christmas have been cleared away and I’ve enjoyed a couple of days of a clutter free house. Tomorrow I’ll have to decide which toys and resources I’m getting back out for the term ahead. I usually go for a winter theme after Christmas but I might do something completely random this time. I’ll stand looking at all the resources I’ve got and hope I’ll feel inspired. If not, it’ll be the winter things again :laughing:
I’m just waiting for DH to get ready then we’re nipping out for a quick food shop. Apart from some Pringles and a cake, pretty much all of the Christmas food has gone. We dropped some biscuits and chocolate off DH’s elderly aunt yesterday and one of my sons says he’ll have some of the other chocolate. I’ve kept the Ferrero Roche, as they’re me favourites, but I’ve put them in a bowl in the kitchen so everyone can help themselves. I doubt there’ll be any left by tomorrow :D
Talking of getting rid of food, has anyone used the Olio app? If you’ve got food you don’t want you can list it for free on there and offer it to other members. I used it before Christmas when I sorted out the freezer. I found 4 bags of veg that we didn’t want and were taking up valuable space, so I listed them and they were collected within an hour. It only really works if there are enough people near you using the app, but member numbers are growing as more people hear about it. It’s a good way of getting rid of unwanted food without putting it in the bin :thumbsup:
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and make the most of the quiet time before the madness starts again on Monday :jump for joy:
