This week's smiles.....week 142

So here we are at another Happy Friday's post.  Thanks to all who joined in last week.  I am featuring Zoe's post from last week.  She filled in a questionnaire....it made me smile and it was really lovely to learn a little more about her.  I promised her that I would have a go too [why don't a few of you join in the fun?....It's always lovely to learn a little about our blogging friends].

So here I go.....

TIME:  11.10 am [yes, I am writing this post on Thursday morning and will schedule it automatically].

LOCATION:  I'm sat on the laptop in the sitting room....it's one room I can keep warm in and is fairly dust and noise free :-)

FEELING:  Blessed with all the wonderful things in my life....but just a little worn out with all the mess, dust, noise and chaos of the building work that's going on here.

LOVING:  My wonderful family and watching my new home taking shape.

READING:  Nothing at the mo....If I started a new book at the mo I'd be asleep before completing page one :-)

DRINKING:  Just coffee for me....tea makes me sick and I rarely drink alcohol because of my diabetes.

ANTICIPATING:  The end of all the building work....It will be a while yet but I do feel we can see a tiny light at the end of the tunnel now  :-)

LISTENING TO:  Radio 2

WATCHING:  The birds feed just outside my window  :-)

PLANNING:  New kitchen and bathroom plus floor coverings.....this week  :-)

LOOKING FORWARD TO:  No more dust  :-)

CREATING:  A huge list of things to make and do when I can get into my sewing room....I am so thankful for Pinterest  :-)

NEED TO FINISH:  Sorting the fabrics and emptying the many boxes of stored stash in my sewing room.

WISHING:  For sunny days and lots of fun times ahead in our new home

MAIN GOAL THIS WEEK:  Keep smiling through the dust cloud  :-) 

That's the list and here's a few pics that have made me smile this week...

Our new front door and window......still need to take the old porch down and block up the old front door.  :-)

It always makes me smile to see my hubby and son working together on any project....especially when it's putting the first fix electrics into our new kitchen before the builders board and plaster it out.  I'm such a proud mummy.  :-)

Thanks Mark for all your willing help....it's his birthday on Sunday.....my baby will be 28  :-)

Beautiful skies at silly o'clock when I'm on Nanny Annie duty with the twins.  And speaking of twins.....

......here they are with the latest family member who has also been making me smile this week.

Meet Monty the kitten....isn't he cute?

So there you go folks.  I have so much making me smile this week....and today is my birthday so lift a glass with me today please and link up your smiles below.

Have a great week.

Hugs,
