Sunday Day 257 – 13th September
Was planning to go out for the day but then just got lazy and didn’t go anywhere. Ended up chilling at home, after the first full week of school and then a busy day yesterday we just wanted to rest. We played a game we were sent to review: Dobble 360.
Monday Day 258 – 14th September
Now that we have to pay for Bee’s school dinners we are a bit picky about the days she has them as she doesn’t always like the food and I am not paying for her to waste half. I decided to get a yumbox and make packed lunch for the days she doesn’t like the food the school provide. The yumbox is great as can put in small amounts of different foods…and she manages to eat it all.
Had my eye test which I have every 2 years. Apparently the vision in one of my eyes has improved slightly. And a new pair of glasses was recommended. So picked a new pair, and will be collecting them next week.
Tuesday Day 259 – 15th September
Bee’s 8th birthday today! We didn’t really do much due to the restrictions of only 6 people being able to meet. Was just cake and balloons but she was happy as she got two new Nintendo Switch games and a takeaway in the evening.
Wednesday Day 260 – 16th September
Not really much planned today. Hubby treated me to a Chaiwalla breakfast before he headed to work and then just general cleaning and cooking before picking up the kids. My car insurance is up for renewal next month so tried to find cheaper quotes. Took hubby off the policy as he had a few minor accidents in his car and it would have bumped up my policy and can’t really afford it….considering the only time he drives my car these days is when he’s taking it for a MOT or service.
Thursday Day 261 – 17th September
Did absolutely nothing today to be honest. Just watched some stuff and remembered my brother today as it was his birthday. He would have been 51 if he was still here. Hubby was home so we just relaxed and then he took Bee for her two hour karate session after school while I continued to chill.
So a picture of Rosie it is. But am cheating as I didn’t actually take any pictures today – the eldest took it.
Friday Day 262 – 18th September
Bee has managed to rip 3 tights already and she has only been at school for 2 weeks. They are the light summer ones and sometimes as she puts them on she manages to rip them. Now that it is meant to be getting colder I headed out to get her some thicker tights, hopefully they won’t rip as easily. As I had a 15% off voucher I also decided to get her a winter hat and gloves. Then thought maybe I shouldn’t have bothered as it’s beginning to look like a lot more lockdowns may happen. Then in the evening managed to get a blog post live about a recent trip to Linton Zoo. Also managed to do some work on the Muslimah Bloggers awards…every year do some informal awards which are looked forward to by the Muslimah Bloggers community.
Saturday Day 263 – 19th September
Usual routine of karate in the morning for Bee, come home for a shower and then her Urdu class. After class today decided to take the girls for some dessert. Had promised Bee I would take her weeks ago and didn’t want to break my promise. However now with covid cases rises I think this is likely to be our last trip eating out anywhere.
Ohh! Dobble! That is such a fun game.
My youngest has started taking a packed lunch too because she’s not liking not being able to sit with her friends in the dining room as it’s one per table. Outside they can sit together, socially distanced of course.
Happy birthday to Bee! I hope she had a great day. That cake looks fantastic. x

Definitely fun and great for the whole family
Bummer about he tights. I always used to find mine were fine when I always wore tights but when it’s an occasional thing they’d run all the time. That dessert looks delicious – we’ve still only done drive through.
She’s usually fine with her tights…this is the first year we have had so many issues so quickly
I’m sure the winter accessories will be used, even if there is another lockdown we’ll still be allowed to go out for walks

True, but we usually hide away in winter and don’t go out much except to school
Happy birthday to Bee! That cake looks amazing. Hope she had a nice day. I hope your brother’s birthday was a gentle day and the memories made you smile. Glad you were able to get out for dessert – that cake looks amazing. #project366
She had a nice day thanks
We love Dobble, what is the stand for? My son has used a Yumbox for the last year I think, less compartments than your daughters, but he likes it. He’s not having any school dinners now which I won’t be too happy about in the winter but how much of them he actually ate anyway I’m not sure #366
The stand turns – taking the cards 360 so you have to keep looking and remembering whats on the cards
If it is your last trip out for a while, then that dessert was the greatest treat, it looks amazing!
You’ve just reminded me I need to get Liv some thick winter tights, the weather in the North has certainly turned now 🙁
Hope you are all having a lovely week! Sim x

The desserts were pretty tasty!
We love Dobble in this house so really want to get the new version of the game. I have introduced the kids to UNO which they love. Happy birthday to Bee – love her cake
The new version is fun!
That cake looks amazing. I love the look of the bento box too. I should start that. Such a cute kitty x
Cake was pretty tasty!
Happy birthday to Bee! The How to train your dragon cake looks splendid. And that Oreo cake slice is beautiful too.
I saw a Harry Potter Dobble version, and thinking of getting it for Christmas.
My boys take packed lunches every day, as the school doesn’t offer hot meals yet. What are those little pastry things in the middle?
They are mini croissants with chocolate in the middle.
Hope Bee had a good birthday. I hope you had some good memories of your brother to look back on. Too young to die – such a shame. (He would have been my age).

Thank you. He died when he was in his twenties so been a while.
Your yumbox packed lunch contents look good! Handy having all the compartments for everything. I love Bee’s birthday cake, it looks massive. Glad the celebrations went well despite restrictions.

I’m loving the compartments and Bee loves that she gets a variety
Happy Birthday, Bee, the cake looks great, hope she had a lovely day despite the restrictions. You have made me want to get take away tonight now! That dobble 360 looks great I am after stocking fillers will have to have a look.

It’s a good game!
It sounds like a busy week. Interesting looking game. That’s a great lunch box that has proper proportions made. Happy birthday, Bee!! I love the cake. Awww chaiwalla breakfast, so sweet. Oh yes, I’ll get to nominating fellow bloggers and sharing this on my blog/page soon Inshallah! Aww it’s a shame about not being able to eat out often, the dessert looks great!
