3 smiley things for this week.

Happy Monday everyone!

What a lovely sunny Saturday we had! I spend the day walking the dog, visiting the Garden Centre and tidying up our little garden. We were meant to be going to the Cotswolds on Sunday for a day trip, but as it rained most of the day we drove into the city centre and looked around the shops instead. I accidentally bought a new skirt, and a cake, and pointed out all the things in Selfridges I 'would like' for my birthday. Seeing as they came to the grand total of £89 million+ I think I may have got carried away. Tom says I'm 'over-reaching'.

A few things to keep me feeling perky this week:

1. Mexican night. We LOVE enchiladas and guacamole and sweet potato fries and sour cream and chilli and nachos and jalapeños. Urgh, so good. We're having a mexican night this week with all our favourite foods spread out across the dining table, and we're going to eat so much we can't move after. Then argue over who has to wash up, and why I want us to put everything away after rather than 'leaving it to air-dry overnight'.

2. Training Harvey. I really really REALLY love him, but he can be absolute pain in the butt. After watching Crufts on the telly last week he is now under-going extensive training. He knows so many tricks and commands now, but somehow still doesn't understand STOP BITING MY ANKLES. It does make me feel all warm and fuzzy when I catch him and Tom cuddling on the sofa though, especially with their matching guilty looks seeing as he (Harvey not Tom) isn't meant to be on there.

3. Going home. Tom has a rare weekend off this week, so we are driving back to Rutland/Lincolnshire to do the rounds and visit both families 'as a couple'. I guess it's 'as a family' now though seeing as of course Harvey will be coming too. And we'll be back in time for Mothers Day!

What are you doing this week that will make you feel all happy and smiley?
