Day 83 – Sunday 24th March
We had been invited to Sea Life Hunstanton for their Jawsome Sharks event (there is a giveaway for a family ticket if anyone is interested) so spent the day at Hunstanton. On our return my mum told me that she had received a phonecall that my dads cousins wife was seriously ill again. I knew she was in hospital and had been meaning to go see her but first I had my bad cold and then got busy with the kids. Last time she was in hospital we went to see her a few times and the doctors had given her 3 months to live at that time. She was strong and continued to fight for over a year. I did consider going to see her after we got back from Hunstanton but then we would have got home late as it meant going to London and the kids had school in the morning. However it was too late…in the evening we received the call that she had passed away. I felt guilty for not getting round to going to see her.
Day 84 – Monday 25th March
Our faith requires us to have the funeral as soon as possible. As there were no complications her body was released immediately and her funeral was today at 2pm. Dad had a hospital appointment at 9.40am which we didn’t want to miss as it was his cataract operation pre appointment which we had been waiting months for. However it turned out it was a waste of time anyway because due to his blood pressure not coming down they will not be able to operate next week anyway so the appointment was cancelled. We managed to get to London in time for the funeral. We left as soon as the burial had taken place as I wanted to get home for the girls…a friend had agreed last minute to collect them and keep them with her until we got home so they didn’t miss school. Also the journey to London and the funeral had taken up a lot of dads energy and he wanted to get home. As we had been out all day we ended up eating out.
Day 85 – Tuesday 26th March
Feeling a bit drained today but back to everyday things. Had my kick boxing class in the morning, then went to school in the afternoon to read with the kids. However they had their forest school session and joined in with them to make hot chocolate! Bee had rainbows after school and she made me a Mothers Day card and decorated a cake.
Day 86 – Wednesday 27th March
Had my Quran class in the morning and then a relatively quiet afternoon. Bee received some new books to review which she was excited to receive.
Day 87 – Thursday 28th March
Had my electrolysis appointment in the morning and then had a governors meeting in the afternoon focusing on Phonics. Bee had karate after school and then when we got home she had to read her school book but the cat had laid claim to the book bag and was refusing to get off it!
Day 88 – Friday 29th March
The week has been kind of hectic and I was feeling a bit tired today. So in the morning I need nothing but stay in bed and catch up with some blog stuff. Then went to Bee’s school in the afternoon as they had a special mothers day event. The girls have received some Hatchimal CollEGGtibles to review and they were excited to hatch them today.
Day 89 – Saturday 30th March
Bee had karate this morning. She has started doing Fight Club too after which is training for when she enters the competitions. She is not sure about this anymore as the sessions are intense…but I have said to her that if she wants to enter competitions she has to practice as she is coming across more experienced children. Will give it a few more sessions and if she doesn’t like it will pull her out as she doesn’t have to enter competitions. Got home and cut the grass. Bee was a bit grumpy as she wanted her sister to play with her and her sister didn’t want to. Ended up putting the Wii on for them as that is one thing they will actually do together!
So sorry about your dads cousins wife, I’m glad you managed to make it to the funeral. It sounds like a long day for your dad.
The Hatchimal CollEGGtibles look fab x

Thank you. Yes it was a tiring day for him
Sorry to hear about your relation’s passing.
It’s so hard to know what to do about competitions and training isn’t it. I want N to do some individual tournaments, but he only wants to do the league and ones he’s comfortable with, but he does need to practice more against more competitive kids. And he really needs to do another private session or smaller performance team session a week, but his club don’t do the latter, and we’d struggle to fit in a private with finding a coach who can do a time we can do.
Thank you.
We have fight club at karate which we don’t have to pay any extra for but I think she is now changing her mind about competitions
Sorry to hear about your family member passing away so suddenly, but it’s good that you made it to the funeral in time. No wonder you were feeling tired after that. Love the photo at Sealife and had to laugh at the cat refusing to give up the school bag!

She is always doing that with the bags!
Sorry for your loss but glad you managed to get to the funeral in time. Sorry though that your Dad’s op has been cancelled, #365
Thank you
so sorry to hear about your relative, it was lovely you were able to take Dad there, sorry to hear about his ill health. We’ve had a few muslim friends unable to travel home with such short notice for funerals from Dubai. Love the cup cake bee made for you
It is always difficult, especially when it is abroad.
Sorry to read of the sad news. Love the look of that cake and books are always welcome. #365
Thank you
they get to stage with an age gap where it is hard to find something that both of them can play together that appeals to both of them, the Wii sounds a good compromise
Love the cake she made, mine always cover the whole thing and I tell them less is more.
Looks like the cat is in partnership with Bee over the reading. .
So sorry about your relative, don’t beat yourself up over not visiting her, but nice you made the funeral.
Pain in the back side about your dad’s op.
It is so hard sometimes when you have last minute notice for a funeral. Thankfully my friend could have the kids
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you dad is okay? My eldest made very similar cakes at Beavers although he got very carried away with the icing! Those Hatchimals look like great fund I like how they have changed the egg colours.
