Handbags and Dustpans

How was everyone's weekend?  I am quite pleased with my accomplishments this weekend, namely buying a bag to match a wedding outfit I'm wearing  next weekend.  It may not sound like much but it has been quite a search.  I'm wearing a maxi dress in an unusual grey with a white pattern so I opted for a lovely white bag at a reasonable £12 from Dorothy Perkins.  I'll have to ask my friend Lyanne to take some photos for me as Paul hasn't got the enthusiasm to take more than 5 photos and if you're like me you need at least 30 to find a couple of decent shots!

I managed to catch up on all the washing, tidy the house and set up a tent in the dining room for Aimee and I to have a picnic lunch in:)  Paul went to a friends to watch the match on sat night so I had a glorious few hours reading, watching NCIS and stuffing my face in my pjs after Aimee was in bed.

These photos were taken in Hillsborough Park a few weeks ago and I just want to say a big thank you to Vicki who took them along with basically all the other photos of me on my blog.  This blog wouldn't be anything without her.

I have just had the loveliest weekend with Aimee .  We spent the whole weekend playing outside -  rollerskating, bouncing on the trampoline and space hopper, building sandcastles and loads of other things. Its been ages since we spent proper time together just the two of us and I really loved it.  Paul is away at a stag do and I think I might send him away more often so we can have more mummy daughter weekends lol

After being outside all day Aimee has been in bed and asleep fairly early at night which has given me time to get ready for the holiday.  I have picked out all her clothes and am in the process of ruthlessly deciding what to bring for myself and what I really don't have room for so will have to stay!  Below are a few of the definites.  My mum treated me to a few new things in M&S today (thank you mum xo) and now I'm trying to match tops with shorts and decide what shoes to bring.  Roll on next Sunday:)
