Getting passed the first week of Summer Holidays

Today because my son came back with me in Wimbledon kept thinking it was a Friday and did a lot in one day, but now he, my son is a sleep I get a bit of time to myself and today was a success. I know sounds like I am being smug, but I am not, just happy to have gotten through the day. 

Me and Henry when he was about two years old 

Tomorrow I start some new training and so my mum will be looking after my little lordship, but then back with him on Wednesday and more time outdoors for him to get as much fresh air as possible and have lots more fun. Then on Thursday I am taking him to the London Aquarium, and going to be an adventure because I think there is going to be destruction on the trains, but never mind that is life in London. There is always issues, so you get used to it. 

You just have to try your best and so it does go as planned never mind there is always a next time. Well so I tell myself. 

When it comes to living in London you do have to plan ahead, so I will be checking alternative routes just in case. 

This morning whilst we got ready for the day I put on some songs and we did a bit of dancing in the Living room and would recommend it. Good to get the energy going and not allow my tiredness from getting up early to get to me, even though I was laying down on the sofa partly, but then my son wanted to join me and forgets how heavy he is now. 

It is good to spend time doing different things rather the same old thing everyday. It does get boring so more adventures and going to get myself to bed, and rest up as we get through this first week and have more things planned and then he will be spending time with his dad and so will get a break. 

Any how it is has been a good day and I hope you did too.

Is it time for TV? Getting rid of the weeks pressures

I had scheduled to write blogpost today, but due the time 18:38, I feel tired so was going to leave it, but I made a commitment and wanted to stick to it. I know if I don't do it I will feel this guilt that I have going to have a list of items not ticked off.  

I feel very lethargic and know that it is coming to the end of the week and so it is time for some TV, well England Ladies are playing so got to get my priorities right. 

It is good to have some good TV time as it helps to wind down the week and I don't watch TV everyday so why not? Life is about living and so it is a must you have some play time, watching sport and plan the week of things to watch. I admit that I watch a lot of Youtube as I do have my own channel and was how I got into it. You can find my channel via this link: 

This is good to sit and watch TV with a friend or family as it can be so relaxing and why not set the time to have a bath, read a book with the TV at the background, and with a glass of wine. 

You have to have days when you do something different and because I have some time on my own tonight going to make the most of it. 

So get rid of the weeks pressures and demands and just put the to do list aside for some time to be with the remote control and some peace.

Getting ready for The School Summer Holidays

Yes they are close and it is a time where I will travelling to and from London, going to local parks and what to do in terms of food and the schedule changing and working a lot in the evenings. 

I have done a list of places I want us to go to and now need to a list of what to take out with me. 

There will be days where will be spend time playing the garden but the majority it will be visiting London and I hope we get the chance to visit the English Coast. I haven't taken Henry on a holiday abroad yet, but something I would like to do at some point, but not sure as Henry isn't good with the heat. 

It will be making sure I have plenty of sun cream and wearing light weight clothing.

We may get the paddling pool out and having a BBQ I hope on some of the days and hope the weather is glorious so this is possible for us to do, and looking forward to be able to go to a local park with an iced coffee and do a bit of writing and reading my book. 

I am going to treat myself I have just decided to buy myself a new Swimming Costume as going take him to a local gym where I can take my son Swimming and then they have a Soft Play area too, and good to do if it is raining and to get out of the heat. 

What I like to do is to check if the place we visit do have toilets, have area where we can grab a drink and if they do food to have lunch outdoors. 

Then there is cream for bites. I have been bitten by sitting by the River Thames in Putney and swelled up and so had to the doctors and was given medication for it, so be aware when near the river you buy cream for insect bite should this happen and if it is near a medical centre or has a local pharmacy should you need to pick up bits in case you didn't pack these items or forgot any items. 

I will being do more blogs about the Summer Holidays to give tips and if you have any suggestions of where to go and what good to pack, please leave a comment below.
