With it being Ramadan there is not much going on with the family except fasting and praying. So it’s getting kind of hard to take interesting pictures!
Day 133 – Sunday 12th May
Back in Week 16 we planted some 9 years old out of date tomato seeds…..we failed as nothing grew. To be honest I wasn’t holding out much hope. So now we are trying out of date peppers! These aren’t as old so will see if we have some luck with these.
Day 134 – Monday 13th May
Bee has cooking club after school on Mondays and today she came out with this creation. I asked her what it was and she said she had forgotten. But it seemed to be a wrap with pizza base sauce, cheese, onions and peppers. She had half and then I had half when it was time to break the fast. Was actually quite nice.
Day 135 – Tuesday 14th May
It was Bee’s final session at Rainbow’s today. She was a little bit sad but thankfully no tears…she had made some friends there but I just didn’t want to pay £3 a session just for some crafts….plus I was paying for 3 lessons of Quran a week of which one lesson she was missing due to going to Rainbows. I was thinking about putting her into Beavers instead which is Fridays and doesn’t clash with her Quran class….but things might be changing financially and might be tough for a little while until things settle down… so decided against it. Even though it is just £3 a week it soon adds up.
Day 136 – Wednesday 15th May
Had my Quran class in the morning and then went shopping with hubby as he needed some new shirts and trousers. His job is changing slightly and he needs to look smarter! Cheating a bit with this picture as it was taken yesterday….but she did the whole sunbathing thing again today!
Day 137 – Thursday 16th May
Had an extra Quran class this morning but because hubby had another day off I decided to relax at home with him a bit as we rarely get time to spend together without the kids and went out to do some shopping. A new book arrived for the girls to check out.
After karate came home and had to drive hubby to Cambridge and back as he had to pick up a car for his work. We had 2 hours before our fast opened and was nervous incase we got stuck in traffic but we managed to make it back with 15 mins to spare.
Day 138 – Friday 17th May
Had a relaxing day…caught up with some scheduling in of some posts for the 30 Ramadan Related posts by 30 different bloggers for the Muslimah Bloggers community and then just relaxed at home in the evening once picked up the girls from school. Rosie pretty much reflecting my mood here in this picture.
Day 139 – Saturday 18th May
Really struggled this morning to get up to take Bee to her karate. Would have had a lie in and cancelled it but she has belt testing tomorrow so really needed to go to her class to practice. Popped to my mums for a while after as had dropped the eldest there while we went karate – the eldest is doing really well with her fasting…so proud of her as she’s just getting on with it, going to school and not complaining. The afternoon was just spent relaxing and not doing much…Bee got all the animals out and played with them. Although in this picture they all look like they are tired and relaxing just like me!

Oh no! That’s a shame about the tomoto seeds. I hope you have better look with the peppers.
That creation from Bee does look interesting! Schools must have shares in those tin trays. lol Our primary and secondary school uses them.
Your cat seems to be really enjoying the sunshine.
Well done to your eldest with the fasting. x

I am not very hopeful with the peppers but you never know!
I’m really impressed with your eldest and her fasting. It can’t be easy! It sounds like giving up Rainbows was the sensible thing to do for Bee and for all of you. Love the photo of Rosie sunbathing.

Thank you..no its not easy especially with school but thankful it is half term next week.
I’m already the planning the last week and a half of Ramadan in regards to choosing when I go out and about mainly to avoid the roads when people are trying to get home in time to break fast
I can imagine how busy it must get!
I say it every year but I truly admire your dedication to the fasting, and for the eldest to be joining in as well is brilliant.
The animals have the right idea.
Oh how exciting with a change to husbands job, will that be better hours.than he was working before?
I am with you £3 is a lot if you have not got it and it does all mount up on top of other things

Yes the eldest certainly is doing very well. She’s only done a few here and there over the years and its the first time she’s done them every day
your cat looks as chilled out as mine. Hope the finances sort themselves out, we are going through that struggle at the moment and it’s hard xxx #365
Cats have an easy life don’t they?
What a shame about the tomato seeds. I hope the peppers are better. Cats just love the sunshine don’t they? x #365
So far no luck with the peppers either
Fingers crossed you get better luck with the seeds. Monkey goes to Beavers and loves it but we are very lucky as they do a lot. Your cat is very cute. I hope the badge testing went well and the book was well received I like the effort taken with the sequins.
So far no luck with the seeds. Thank you the belt testing went well.
