Monday we spent at home. Jake had the new neighbour over to play for a bit, so that was fun. But the weather outside was just super shitty, so we didn't really go outside much. Lego it was!!
Tuesday I pretty much spent all of Tuesday at the gym - as usual, and when I came home, Jake had to go off for a Dr's appointment, so I didn't really end up spending a lot of time with him, but all we really did was play lego....hahha
Wednesday was fun! Jake was going to a mates place for a play date, so I got a few hours off in the middle of the day. I managed to head into town to meet a friend (Arna) who was about to leave for home, and she gave me a whole bunch of books and things she couldn't take back home with her, so that was ace. And we had GBK, I mean, come on, YUM!
When Jake got home, Emma had been out that day and got him a pumpkin to carve for Halloween the next day. And the friend's nanny that he had just been with had given him a carving kit, so we carved!! Pulling out pumpkin insides was a messy job, but once I got my hands in there and yanked at the gross-ness on the sides, and encouraged Jake to do the same, we were all good haha. I ended up doing most (all) of the carving, somehow I'm more trustworthy than a 5 yr old with a sharp knife (when this happened, I don't know!) but I managed to get through without cutting myself in any way, so thats always a positive. I was quite proud of our finished product too! I've put some pics in of the process....
Thursday was Halloween!! I went to the gym in the morning, and I still didn't have a costume...whoops! So on the way home, I managed to pop into Waitrose (supermarket) and they had a witches hat and some black hair chalk stuff, life saver! I then went into the cheap shop down the road and got some poster paint - which turned into great face paint! I was lucky when I got home that Jake had an impromtu playdate with the girl next door so it gave me time to get my face on and all dressed up. I freaked the crap out of the 9yr old when I went to pick up Jake from next door though, it was brilliant!
We went around the corner (well, a few corners) to get to a mates house to go trick or treating, with another 5yr old girl, a 3yr old boy and their au pair. It was dark by 4.30 (WTFFF) and so out we went! It was a really cool area to do it in, cos you knew which houses you could go into, thanks to the pumpkins outside. Super good system! The kiddies loved it, I had my photo taken a few times by randoms who thought I looked great, aww shucks.
The kids got a heap load of candy, my god! We went to about 25 houses - just in 2 streets! It was awesome. When we got back to the house, I ended up giving out the candy there, while the kids ate. I only made one small child cry as I was cackling as I opened the door and she got a little freaked...fair enough. Came home to a very messy shower hahaha.

Friday as you can imagine, was a little bit of a chilled day. Jake had his mate Santi over, and I convinced them that we should go down to Regent's Park, so they took their scooters and we got some bread and went. AHHH the geese and pigeons down there are sooo super scary! They literally see you have bread and chase you. Santi and I did not enjoy this experience at all, but Jake loved it, so we happily gave him the bread and he chased them all around and had a great time! We went back on the bus and I went to my aerobics class, before heading out to do a lovely spot of shopping and getting of craft supplies before heading home again.
On Saturday, I was up super early to go to Reading with a bunch of people from a new agency I've joined to pick up some extra work. It wasn't much, just handing out flyers, but the bar was super picky about the type of people that it wanted us to hand the flyers out too, and super indecisive. It was just annoying. But I got paid a bit, and it filled in a day where I hadn't been planning on doing much, so that was ok.
Sunday I literally did nothing all day, but I had tickets to go and see a taping of "It'll be Alright on the Night" which is a TV show for ITV here, so a mate and I went to that, that was pretty fun. It was like a home video show, but all the videos were bloopers and gags from famous people....not that we knew who half the people were! Still bloody funny!
Thats a quick catch up on that week anyway! Not a lot really happened, but it was fun, and I probably spent too much money!!!
