Preparation is key. Preparation is necessary. Preparation is my word of the week!
I am prepared, at least mentally, for my husband spending the next ten days in Europe…
He is off to do a charity cycle, starting in Holland and then heading up through the UK and ending in Edinburgh.
He is prepared. Well, getting there. The bike still needs to be packed into the bike box and he is currently out buying new drinking bottles. But, he has a list :)
Today is all about the last minute preparations. I have a list too!
He has connected the DVD player and the Apple TV for me (not that I couldn’t do that, but I feel happier knowing it’s done!). He has shown me where the fuse board is (really hoping that was unnecessary!).
The fridge is stocked. The snack cupboard is full. I have wine.
What could go wrong :)
How has your week been, what would your word of the week be?

Wow, ten days on your own with the children…and a full larder of wine! It’s a bit challenge you’re both taking on & this word has a double meaning for both of you. Best of luck to your husband, and fingers crossed you don’t need the fuse box xx

Wine and chocolate will get me through :)
… and then he left with the only key to the garage. Oops.
Hmmm, yes!
Hope all goes well with your hubby’s charity bike ride and at home for you too whilst he is away. Sounds like you have got everything in hand :-)
Thanks Louise x
Best of luck lovely, I hope you cope okay with hubby for ten days. I could not agree more, preparation is the key to everything for me too xxx #WotW
I’ll be fine, knackered, but fine! I mainly needed to be mentally prepared for it :)
Best of luck to your Hubby…
10 days on your own, you have wine?
fingers crossed everything goes well…
Preparation is a good #WotW
I have wine! Although, as long as the kids behave I shouldn’t need it :)
Wow what an amazing cycle ride! Hope you have a good 10 days with the children while he is away. Hope you have a lovely weekend x #WotW
