Monday
A barn in Oxfordshire!
Tuesday
It rained ALL day so I read a book called Liane Moriarty called The Husband's Secret. Said book isn't out yet but worth a read when it is. 4/5!
Wednesday
Someone kindly picked me up and someone else was nice enough to drop me back so two new cars!
Thursday
A takeaway for dinner as a friend came over. Definitely a first.
Friday
Lunch at the Bear as part of the networking group I am in. First time for the Hungerford group!
Saturday
A hen-do at the Living Room next to the castle in Oxford. As well as dinner we had a cocktail making class before I got stung for £7.80 for parking at the Westgate multi storey. I appreciate that it is expensive to park in Oxford I really do. But if you're going to charge £7.80, do you not think it might be sensible to provide card payment facilities. I had £7.60 on me and had to dash BACK into the city centre to get cash out. Annoying to say the least.
Sunday
Dropped MrM in Reading so for a world-first I took McBaby to McDonalds! What an eye-opener!

The last two weeks...
Bit of a whirlwind and I probably don't need to blog about the boring bits. So the highlights!
Going to a client's house and being invited for a coffee in her summer house!
The Donnington Valley hotel - a meeting was being held in a room I'd not been into before and it was amazing how the shape and light made the meeting much more enjoyable and relaxed!
Wokefield Park Hotel for a women-only conference!
Going to my first (and possibly last) zumba class. Am so far behind everyone else that I'm still doing it now!
Some hut in Thatcham
Brightwalton fair!
A fab play called the Bear
Curridge for the Cats Protection open day
Sound Beginnings at Sheepdrove...

Monday 15th to Sunday 21st April
Monday 15th
Visiting someone in West Ilsley and then a barn for a workshop in Thatcham.
Tuesday, 16th
The tourist information office as I realised that the last time I came here to the new office, I hadn't actually made it past the foyer.
Wednesday, 17th
Allsorts Café Bar which used to be a rough old pub but is now a lovely, bright place to meet.
Thursday, 18th
Dropped someone to Heathrow, so stopped in Windsor on the way back and went to the post office and Waitrose there. And a ridiculously tight multi-storey which I could barely fit the car into.
Friday, 19th
A few new things including someone's house, a playground in Thatcham, the Almshouses and Burger King to buy a cup of tea for an old guy that I feel desperately sorry for.
Saturday, 20th
The Newbury Christadelphians building.
SUnday
Refind - a fab new dress agency in Newbury.

Monday 8th April - Sunday, 14th April
Monday 8
A house in Chieveley.
Tuesday 9
Had to do a U-turn behind Stockcross post office. Groans inwardly.
Wednesday 10
Viewed a house. Loved it. Not sure timing is right for us to offer on it though.
Thursday 11
Suspicion! (A film, not a feeling)
Friday 12
A pub in Oxford that I used to frequent when I was a student. But I approached it from a new way today.
Saturday 13
Met some friends at the Pot Kiln and ended up waiting behind it - didn't know there was a footpath here!
Sunday, 14
Maplins!
All in all, not one of my best weeks for doing new things!

Monday, 1st April to Sunday, 7th April
A week of boring stuff as I've not been well and in fact, still can't speak!!
Monday, 1st
A FREEZING day on the beach at Bournemouth. Went into a strange café called Hot Rocks to warm up.
Tuesday, 2nd
Mercy in Action charity shop in Theale and the back roads of Kensington (where The Saint was filmed if you're a Simon Templar fan, like me) before stopping off at Heston Services. All new!
Wednesday, 3rd
One-Stop in Turnpike!!!
Thursday, 4th
Really lacking time and inspiration today, so bought a dressed crab from Waitrose!
Friday, 5th
Very ill, tired and cold. Our boiler exploded at 6am and woke us up. New thing was "One of our dinosaurs is missing" as no energy to do anything more exerting!
Saturday, 6th
Woken up again at 6, but this time a thoughtful friend had delivered Breaking Bad 2 -I'm thrilled to report that it looks as good as the first series!
Sunday, 7th
Roots Garden Centre in Hermitage for a boot sale and also a quick look at the new housing estate down the road. Then a long, long walk around Snelsmore where we checked out the new shop there.

Monday, 25th March to Sunday, 31st March
Monday 25
The new Aldi! Not as busy as I'd hoped, although the usual Newbury rudeness has already permeated. I got there to find half a parking space as the person next to me didn't feel like containing his car within the lines. He returned to the car and watched me struggle to get out without apologising. Then another man tried to push in front of me at the checkout. He then said to his wife that he'd go and start the car while she paid. Oooh, a time saving of about 30 seconds...
Tuesday, 26
More rock and roll - the disabled toilet at Hungerford Leisure Centre as I had a wiggly toddler who won't go into a normal cubicle.
Wednesday 27
Riverside Toddlers Group for an Easter Egg hunt.
Thursday, 28
A friend's house in Thatcham
Friday, 29th
The Starting Gate where someone (this is Newbury remember) slammed a door in my face. We gave up and I tried to take the baby to a playground but couldn't find the entrance.
Saturday, 30th
The village hall in Aldworth. Again, West Berkshire, so someone cut in front of me again - this time while I was trying to buy some homemade bread. That makes a total of three times that I've been queue jumped in ONE WEEK!
Sunday, 31st
Lunch at home with a lovely couple so we had no inclination to go out, making my new thing the film adaptation of Labyrinth. Not an easy watch!
