Sunday Day 292 – 18th October
Not much happening today. Sundays have turned into a bit of a lazy day these days as hubby has started going work on Sundays now too so we don’t go out as much. Decided to bake some bread rolls…..think I made them a bit too big!
Monday Day 293 – 19th October
Received the draft of my will last week but only just sat down to read it through and make any changes necessary. It is simple as I don’t really have that much, but the cost is ridiculous for what really is probably just half an hours work. But needed to be done, and I had limited choices as to where to get it done as I wanted it to follow the Islamic rules of inheritance but also make sure it’s legal here. So had to find a solicitor who could do an islamic will.
Tuesday Day 294 – 20th October
A day of heavy rain and rained pretty much all day. That really dampened my mood. Did stuff all except watch some TV until it was time to pick up the girls. My clematis grew back after I thought it was done and cut it right back down…had to take a picture. And did manage to get an IGTV up of a book review. Also received the eldest’s attitude of learning report from school. She got ‘good’ in all subjects….and ‘exceptional’ in the subject she has recently dropped and changed! Proud of her
Wednesday Day 295 – 21st October
A day of trying to catch up with blogging stuff….seem to have a never ending to do list…and one I have been avoiding recently. Managed to get a review live of a game: Brainbox Animals.
Thursday Day 296 – 22nd October
A friend had messaged me last night asking if I wanted to go to breakfast in the morning. Hubby usually does the morning school runs these days so I am often lounging around in my pyjamas for a while..but it was nice to get out first thing and have a catch up with her.
Friday Day 297 – 23rd October
Was meant to meet up with a friend for lunch but she had to cancel as she had forgotten she was going out for a birthday dinner in the evening. So another quiet day. Did debate whether to go out and just have lunch myself but it is a bit lonely going alone! Some Disney items arrived for Bee to check out. Not sure if she will find them a bit young for her…will see.
Saturday Day 298 – 24th October
Karate first thing and then was going to treat the girls to lunch on the way home…but the cafe we like going to was packed so just came home. Eldest decided to make a cake. It tasted good but was just a bit on the small and flat size!
Hope the bread rolls turned out ok, that’s a lot of yummy carbs and sugar this week, I rarely get to eat this type of food with a wheat allergy. Glad you managed to get your will sorted, we had similar issues getting ours done, whilst out in Dubai
The rolls were pretty good
Didn’t know there were Islamic rules of inheritance, so I’ll google that. That breakfast looks amazing.

Yes I didn’t realise a few things about Islamic inheritance myself
4 yr old Ziggy is frozen daft. I have an Elsa to make for Christmas as I made an Anna for her birthday,
I use to enjoy doing the toy reviews when the older 2 were younger and came to stay every week.
The rolls have risen well.

I was surprised with how well they rose!
I hope the bread rolls turned out OK. I always think the bigger the better.
Those Brainbox games really are fab!
Brilliant photos x

They were pretty good!
I really need to get a will made. The OH has one but I don’t, but it would likely get a bit complicated so I just never get round to it.
Love home baked bread. I need to make some myself I think, not made any for a while
Definitely something to sort out sooner rather than later
I had no idea there would be a different type of will based on faith, that’s fascinating – what differences are there? I really need to update my own. #366
Everything doesn’t go to the spouse islamically. The husband gets a percentage, the kids do too (more) and the parents do aswell if still alive.
Love the look of your bread rolls. Well done to your eldest on such a good report. That cooked breakfast looks yummy. I miss going out for breakfasts like that. #project366
Yes the breakfast was good! Hope you manage to get out to breakfast soon
I really need to do a will but never seem to get around to it. That cooked breakfast looks delicious
It was pretty tasty!
Home made bread rolls are the best! Love the clematis in the rain, very beautiful shot.
The breakfast looks tasty, and so does the cake, even if you say it was on the small side.
Yes it did still taste pretty good!
Cake is cake and it looks lovely! Well done to your eldest for baking away, I can’t wait for my daughter to get creative in the kitchen! Your clematis looks amazing, such a vibrant purple (my favourite colour!). Fab to hear you got out for breakfast with a friend and it does look amazing, I’m easily sold with food! Those bread rolls look amazing too, they can never be big enough!

Purple is my fav colour too!
Those bread buns look great! The bigger the better, more to enjoy! Your cooked breakfast looked lovely! Am hoping I get to go out for a walk and breakfast with a friend if we come out of lockdown briefly in Wales. Well done to your daughter for making cake, my eldest wants to bake something at the weekend.

Hope you managed to get out for a walk and brakfast!
The bread rolls look great I need to make more bread. I know what you mean about the blog to-do list mine seems never-ending at the moment and it is difficult to find the motivation. Hope you manage to get everything done you need to

The lists do go on forever don’t they?
I love the sight of bread baking. That is so mature and good of you to make your own will. My parents are currently facing a lot of trouble going here and there for years because their parents didn’t write out a proper will. They’ve written out a draft on their computer incase we need it. Lovely clematis. Congrats to the eldest! Cool card game. Breakfast looks delicious.
I don’t think my parents have a proper one either to be honest
