This is my first fortnight long happy days blog. A trip away means I have two whole weeks of wonderful happy things to update you on:
– A whole week went by without posting a blog. I spent 4 of those days without Internet or phone signal, it was great!
– We went swimming as a family, something that Dave has been putting off, he admitted he enjoyed it and we can do it again.
– Cycling in the rain
– The Robot loves blowing raspberries on me
– We went camping with Gran
– The Robot has learnt to throw and catch, if you can call it that, it’s more throw than catch and even the throw is debatable!
– With all the learning the Robot had a couple of long day time naps, this was a great break for me! Sadly not everyday!
– Did I mention we went camping? Well I put our tent up all by myself… achievement!
– Sleepy cuddles in the tent at night.
– We got to ride a mini steam train – The Robot loves his trains
– Dave – he built me a campfire while I put the Robot to bed. Love him, love fires!
– I had an amazing scotch egg burger. We weren’t planning on going out to eat but it was raining and we stumbled upon The White Mare in Beckermet. I’ve just looked at their website and they are Cumbrias 2016 pub of the year! What a find for us! Considering it was Fathers Day and we hadn’t booked they kindly squeezed us in.
– I reached 2000 followers on twitter. It was way more exciting than 1000 followers! I’m 2 away from 100 Facebook followers too and because I’ve not been trying on Facebook I am pretty chuffed with this!
– The Robot can climb off things now, he elegantly slides off the bed feet first. He’s desperate to try the stairs but I won’t let him yet!
– We went for a walk up in the Lake District Hills. Here is Blea Tarn in Eskdale.
– Dave has been working close to home this week so he has spent lunch times with us. It’s been nice to see more of him.
– I’m not one to diet or weight watching but I do make a point of weighing myself from time to time as I don’t want to suddenly put loads of weight on. I was pleasantly surprised that I was at my “goal” weight which I haven’t been at in a few years. I won’t be getting back in the scales again just incase it was a fluke!
– Went on a night out with my friends, something I’ve not done in ages, let alone have a have a drink. It was a welcome break, even if it was only 3 hours. It’s surprising how drunk I can get in 2.5 hours! No hang over either!
– The #30DaysWild Challenge end is in sight and to celebrate day 25 here is a picture of the awesome looking clouds from last night:
Have you had many happy moments this past week? Have a good week ahead… my goal for this week, take more and better photos!
Ah switching off and doing enjoyable things is wonderful. I too switched off from the internet for a little while when I stayed in hospital. I scheduled my posts to cover my break. #happydayslinky

I’d have normally scheduled but my time ran out so just accepted that my blog would stand still! It was nice
I love happy lists and have just started my own, sounds like you have had a great two weeks, sometimes it’s nice to have not signal and no temptation for a few days #mg
It was great to have a break correct
Happy lists are great, I just wish I could make time to jot my own down. Your trip looks like so much fun, I am not a fan of camping, but it does sound like quite an adventure. Well done on getting to your weight goal without trying.. now that’s a result. #mg

Thanks. It gets easier to make a happy list once you get into the swing of it. I try and choose one thing at the end of the day that made me happier than normal!
Oh I love the Lakes so much, it looks like you had a great time. That was a stroke of luck finding the pub and them being able to fit you in on Father’s day. The food looks delicious too xx #mg
It was delicious correct! It did take some finding. I love living so close to the Lake District
wow! you’ve been busy (as usual lol) that burger looks amazing, Im so hungry and that has just made me hungrier haha! what a lovely time you’ve been having!! #mg

Thanks, I’m still having dreams over that burger!
the camping sounded great and the cuddles in the tent sounds like perfection! #mg
Ahh yes, happy memories
Ah time away from blogging and social media can be so refreshing can’t it? Love that you are loving camping so much – don’t think we will get a chance to go before baby comes now. Thanks for sharing in #HappyDaysLinky x
It’s great to have a break definitely. You can go camping next year! Enjoy the time now before you get taken over with a newborn
I really want to take the boys camping but Ian is adamant that he doesnt want to 🙁 Maybe when they’re older we’ll get to go! Thanks for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky x

That’s a shame, it’s such a bloke thing to go camping, hopefully you can persuade him otherwise!
