Currently...#34

Hello Lovelies!



Is it my go?  Is it my go?  Yay!!! It's my turn to co-host this week's Currently again together with the gorgeous-ness on a stick that is Lindsey from Ot and Et.  Exciting news this week! Randalin from Harvesting Kale has had her baby!! A little girl! We wish her all the best and send her so much love.  Last week C
olleen from The Mommy Panda was in cohoots and didn't she do a marvellous job, but like I say, yay!  It's back to me again!

If you don't know the drill essentially you just use the given themes for the week or create your own and let everyone know what's Currently going on with you!

This week's themes are: Shovelling, Ignoring, Inhaling, Hugging, Throwing...

Isn't shovelling a scandalously tricky one?  I'm trying to decide on an angle I could approach this from...have I been shovelling food?  Undoubtedly!  But no, I want to think of something a little better than that... my approach to tidying up the Mini-Monkey's bedrooms is usually centred around shovelling; I go in with a big plastic box, pick up everything that's on the floor in a fashion not dissimilar to a shovel, and squeeze it away in a cupboard somewhere.  Which then usually explodes onto Mr Husband at a later date - ha!

I am ignoring Valentine's Day tomorrow. I may be a hideous old misery, but I hate it. I find it saccharine sweet and sentimental. I've always preferred to do nothing to celebrate, or to do something so understated it doesn't count. I think this year our plan is to sit together on the sofa and watch a film, which we do most Fridays anyway. I don't need a stuffed bear to show me I'm loved. 

I've been inhaling more than my fair share of damp morning air. Every day it seems to rain lately and every day I sniff it up. Especially when it does it sideways into my face. I've also been inhaling the delicious scent of my Mum's tea wafting through from the East Wing. Why does food someone else has cooked always smell so much better?

Wiggles and I have a thing about hugging, I want a hug more often than she's willing to provide one. She knows this, she uses it to her advantage. I say "Can Mama have a hug?" She hugs the nearest toy and looks cheeky. I say "Not the toy! Mama!" She laughs like she's won. Cheeky imp. Thankfully Biscuit is always willing to give me some cuddles. Yay!

After a boozey night out at the start of the week the hunt is on to discover who was throwing up! Somebody did a sick in Tilly's downstairs loo and did a drunk person's job of cleaning up. In that they did really well, but Tilly's house is cleaner than a operating theatre so she was alerted. The hunt is on to discover the mystery sicker-up. Nice choice of theme topic, right? 

I got to choose next week's themes, which was so much fun and a huge honour. I felt a bit like the Queen, cutting a ribbon or launching a boat. I deliberated for ages but decided on:

Next week: Snapping, Stopping, Spending, Starting, Skipping... 

So come on, if you haven't before, why not give it a go!  Join in?

  1. Valentine's is such a tricky one. I always thought I felt how you do until the year Rob got me nothing (it was over 10 years ago and I still frown when remembering) so now it's understood that this is a day we must do something, small and thoughtful is wonderful, but "nothing" isn't allowed, ha! I think I'm getting my guy whiskey and we'll also watch TV and hopefully I get a fancy candy bar and not a teddy bear haha! ps. What is with our sassy littler misses being skunks? Etta doesn't withhold hugs but she does love to exasperate us. She revels in it! Weird little sass pots!

    1. Wow! You buy whiskey for Valentines? Will you please stop being so cool! That is always going to be a great present, whatever the occasion! Skunks is so spot on! They are SKUNKS! :) xx

  2. One year my husband give me a rain coat, yes a rain coat. Not only that he gave me it, he was so proud that he did. Valentines is a hit or miss with us. I use it as a learning tool to teach the boys how you should treat a lady. But I feel like I should be loved all year long and show me that everyday. Well I hope you have a wonderful day with your hubby no matter what you do.

    1. I completely agree with you! I wish more people treated it as a learning tool, I think it's the sweetest thing to instil whilst they're young :) xx

  3. I fell over laughing about the mysterious sick-- you are so funny! I sincerely hope the culprit shall be exposed here, as now I am dying of curiosity & hoping for a story to go along with it!

    1. Well Taby....drumroll....the sicker has been revealed! It transpires it was Impressive E! Although in her defence she doesn't remember it. In her confuddled state she thought she'd been sick in the privacy of her own home. We have mocked her mercilessly for being the culprit and very much enjoyed the following detective work. I would be an excellent Mr Holmes.... :) xxx

  4. Valentine's Day is funny for us. I don't know if we ignore it or embrace it! See, we're lovey with each other all the time, so Valentine's Day is, by default, lovey for us. No flowers though (seriously, I'd kill him for spending that kind of money on something destined to die in 3 days, so if he buys me flowers, they should be the variety I can plant in the ground), and no "special occasion" chocolate (which I have a vast stockpile of in the cabinet, always!). I outgrew stuffed animals approximately a hundred years ago. We get too angry fighting the Valentine crowds at restaurants, because we're hungry and there's a 90 minute wait, which leads to hangry in a hurry, so dinner at home is safer. We do exchange cards though. Because it never hurts to say an "extra" I love you.

    1. I think we're the same, Dawn. And you're so right, an extra I love you can never be bad can it? Service in a restaurant on Valentines Day however? Ugh! Might as well stay at home and argue over flat pack furniture!
