Reasons to be Cheerful: The Takeover – Week 2 #R2BC

Reasons to be Cheerful at Mummy from the Heart

It’s Thursday again so time to fill your heads, hearts and blogs with lots of happy thoughts. It’s still me hosting for Mich, thanks you to those linking up last week, I’ll finish getting round all your blogs today and promise to do it a bit sooner this week!

After an emotional couple of weeks that have left me pretty drained this last week has been good, I’m still not sleeping but I think that will come. Here’s what’s made me smile in the last 7 days:

  • I had the best round of golf of my life at the weekend, should win the competition with it and get a nice handicap cut (apologies to those who don’t know/care about golf but this is awesome!). It just emphasises what I said last week that those 4 hours are where I’m most relaxed and can forget everything else, and this week it really showed. I was very happy and it was possibly the nicest weather of the year so far. Let’s hope it continues (the weather & the golf!)
  • My little Lego boy is on cloud 9 at the moment, we let him sell some of his toys on ebay (finally we got rid of the Fireman Sam toys that have swamped us for 4 years) so that he could buy more Lego City sets for himself. Amazingly he netted £160 from his old junk – isn’t it amazing what people will buy? He has bought 3 new (to him) sets so far so it has really made his half term for him.
  • On Monday I took a few hours off work and took J to Jimmy’s Farm in Suffolk. We met some lovely other bloggers there as we learnt all about the Red Tractor scheme and the campaign to Give a fork about Pork. I’ll be writing a post about the day very soon but at the end Jimmy posed for photos with us all so I thought I’s leave you with this

Join in with us if you can and link up below, I’d love to hear about your week. Have a great weekend!

    Fab idea – maybe my boys would be happier getting rid of toys if they made some money to buy new ones.

    Loving your reasons. You’ve made me tempted to sell something on EBay now. Well done about the golf, and the farm sounds great.
    Finally that is a beautiful family shot xx

    Photo with Jimmy, you lucky lady! Loved watching his farm on tv. Great news on your golf handicap too, well done. As for making £160 on Ebay, brilliant. That’s not easily done. Really pleased your little man is loving his new lego too.
    Thanks for hosting. I shall pop over more often now I’ve found you, as you have a lovely blog :o ) xx
