No early mornings, no busy days - all last week I just had holiday - and it was wonderful.
I spent last weekend clearing up and organising cupboards and wardrobes. Loads of things got taken to the second hand shop. I got the house cleaned and even got myself a new rug for our dining room. By Monday our wee home was all organised and looking very cosy and it felt really good.
On Tuesday morning Leah and I were up early. We were going on a girly trip with our neighbour´s Laura and Mia. We were all off to Sweden for a shopping trip.
We arrived in Sweden a little after 10am. We found a parking place for the car and then we started to shop amok! What a blast we had! There were sooo many great bargins and the girls were loving it.
After lunch we shopped again until it was time to check into our hotel. We had booked a room for all 4 of us so we could just relax after a hard day of shopping.
After checking into the hotel, we went out shopping again and ended with a cosy dinner in one of the local restaurants.
It was then back to the hotel for our girly night of facials and fun. We played Uno and Ludo. The Ludo bought out the worse in us - we were all so awful to each other, knocking each other out when we each were so close to home - it was sooo much fun.
On Wednesday morning we up and ready for breakfast by 9am! We were looking forward to our breakfast buffet at the hotel.
We were not disappointed. We had a delicious breakfast.
It was then back over to the shopping centre to shop until we dropped - which is what we literally did! We all needed new winter clothes and we all got what we needed. It was a successful shopping trip, especially since the Swedish krone is so low - so we got loads and saved loads of money.
Around 3pm we decided we would start for home but first we wanted to visit Ikea, it was only 5 minutes away. It was huge and we had a great time walking around it.
We ate dinner at the Ikea restaurant before heading back home to Denmark.
A very successful trip!
On Thursday Kristian had finally free from work. (Poor man had to work all week, while I had free!) It was such a beautiful day that we decided that we would head out on a road trip and see if we could find a beautiful place to go for a walk - and we did.
We arrived home late afternoon and spent the rest of the day relaxing at home.
On Friday the weather turned bad again and so we decided that we just fancied a day at home. Kristian spent time working on the computer editing some pictures and I spend time out in my studio doing some art work. Poor Leah had to work.
I made the above picture out of stones and rope.
On Saturday morning I was up early for yet another girly trip. This time Laura, Pernille and I were heading to the huge fabric shop to check out their Christmas stock again.
We decided that we would start the day with Egg Muffins at McDonalds to give us the energy we needed to check out all the thousand of fabric rolls that they had! haha
As usual, we had a blast. I bought some new fabric to make a curtain for my kitchen window.
Saturday afternoon Kristian´s cousin and his wee daughter came buy for coffee and cake. We had a lovely afternoon and evening with them.
Now it´s Sunday evening and tomorrow it´s all back to porridge again. It has been one lovely holiday - a good combination of relaxation and being with family and friends. I really wish I could retire soon - I could get used to days without work!! I certainly would not have a problem filling up my days with things to do!
