Sunday 28th November – Day 331
A quiet Sunday again as usual. Found this chocolate bar in the kitchen that hubby had brought home last night when he got in for work. It’s quite nice!
Monday 29th November – Day 332
Our 6 monthly check up with the dentist. Girls had to leave school half an hour early. Took baby with us and the dentist was pleased to meet her…she’s been our family dentist for a while. She agreed to add her as a patient when she is a bit older thankfully – there is a shortage of dentists in our area at the moment that are taking on NHS patients.
Tuesday 30th November – Day 333
I have had my eye on a Hotel Chocolat Velvitiser for a while. During the Black Friday sales I decided I deserve a treat and purchased it. It arrived today and we tested it out when the girls got home from school. We all love it. Baby turned 4 months today and had her third lot of immunisations. Thankfully all done now until she is 12 months old. Hubby then phoned to say he was waiting for the breakdown lot as his car had broken down….he thinks the clutch had gone.
Wednesday 1st December – Day 334
It turns out his gear box had gone. We can’t afford a brand new one right now so the mechanic tried to source one from scrap yards. He found one in Birmingham. Hubby wanted to go immediately as without his car he can’t work. I tried to add him onto my car insurance but they refused as he is a taxi driver…not as though he was going to use my car for jobs!! Managed to get him temp day insurance so he could drive it. My dad then had to pick up the girls from school. I would have made them walk but eldest had a sixth form interview after school and Bee couldn’t walk home alone. Eldest has been given a place in sixth form for A-levels provided she gets the results she’s predicted for her GCSE’s and does a bit better in Maths.
I had signed up for a baby subscription box and had forgot to cancel. The next box arrived and it was Christmas theme. The book is lovely though and decided to offer it up as a giveaway on my instagram.
Thursday 2nd December – Day 335
Hubby’s car got fixed by the end of the day thankfully so back to work tomorrow. I took the baby’s 4 month photo which I had forgotten to take on Tuesday. Not much else happening.
Friday 3rd December – Day 336
A quiet Friday – decided to try out the hot chocolate with Oat milk. Tasted quite nice. Also managed to get a blog post published in my Muslim Mums in Business series featuring mypraisebeads.
Saturday 4th December – Day 337
Not much planned today. Bee at karate in the morning and I tried to do blog stuff. Karate are doing a Christmas party where they give out awards but have decided not to send her. I am not ready to go into large crowds with baby, especially with new variants of the virus being discovered.
Took some pictures of baby with some teething gel we were sent for when she starts teething. I think she may have started as she seems to be biting the teats when I give her a bottle. Took some other pics of her too while I was in the mood. I will get some professional pics done when she is about 6 months…I did that with the other two girls too at that age.
Aww! Your hubby is fantastic leaving you chocolate and good that your youngest will be added as a patient at the dentist. I think there is a shortage of dentists everywhere at the moment.
Ohh! I have seen so many people raving about that Velvitiser. It sounds amazing.
Oh no, that is rotten news about your car but fab news about your eldest and her place at 6th form. x

It does make a nice hot chocolate!
I’d be the same as you with large crowds and the karate do. I’d been looking at the velvetiser too – although decided to look at cheaper alternatives. Then decided that as I’m on a diet, it probably wouldn’t get used that much.
The girls are using the velvetiser almost daily so was worth getting for us.
I am curious about the velvetiser, although my waistline would probably be better if I’m not getting one. 🙂 The baby pictures are lovely. xx
Lol true better for the waistline if don’t have one
Baby looks fascinated by her car seat toy. Can’t believe she is 4 months old already. The Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser sounds fab – I’ve bought one for hubby for Christmas so hopefully it will live up to expectations. Glad your hubby’s car got fixed quickly. #project365
We love the velvetiser
Cars are just a nightmare aren’t they? Glad it got fixed. Keep thinking we should get one of the velvetisers – sounds like you got a bargain #365
Loving our velvitiser
Love the monthly photo blanket. Glad your husband managed to get on your car insurance and get the parts needed to repair his car
It is lovely!
Sorry to hear about your husband’s car, I hope that you can get it fixed and he can get back out on the road it must be a busy time of year from him. I love the baby blanket with the months on its gorgeous.

The blanket is lovely!
Your little lady is such a cutie! Beautiful eyes! It’s great that the dentist can take her on as an NHS patient.
Glad you treated yourself to a Velvetiser. I keep seeing them, and am quite tempted too. Maybe one day.
Thank you.
The girls love the velvitiser
came across for a nose to see how you are doing. 4 months already….time flies.
Had a notion for the chocolatier but don’t drink enough hot choc to consider it, but would probably end up drinking a lot more. Is it good? Are the powders dairy free?
oh not sure if they are dairy free……
I bought the same chocolate bar for my husband, he enjoyed it too. How lovely to treat yourself to a Hotel Chocolat Velvitiser, nice to have something to look forward too in a week with car breakdowns and dentist appointments. The four month picture is very cute!
