Our weekend in pictures, a little diary of what we get up to at the weekends together. Just a bunch of normal family life pictures!

I am so sorry this is such  boring weekend of photos! We had a BIG house clearance of the loft and garage this weekend. We had a skip bag arrived that needed filling, so pretty boring weekend and I kept forgetting to take photos as I was so busy. But hey that’s family life for you! 

Saturday 6th January 

The girls stayed over their friends on Friday night, and Tyler had his friend over so they were happy! We got on and started clearing! 

The loft was like this in every space of the loft, it would make a great loft conversion……if there was ever room!! 

An attic cluttered with boxes, a doll’s house, household items, and a standing fan beneath exposed wooden beams—sunlight partially illuminates the crowded space in this nostalgic weekend in pictures.

There was so many things that had been put up there, it was like a trip down memory lane pulling everything out. 

This was my old stereo as a teenager, I remember saving up for it and my Sister taking me to Currys to buy it! Only the radio works now, so off it went into the skip bag! 

A black Sony boombox cassette player with two speakers sits on a grey carpeted floor against a white wall. The handle is raised, and various buttons and controls are visible—capturing the vibe of the weekend in pictures.

Look at this terrible painting of me and hubby! Years ago someone painted it for us, it was online and I don’t know them (So they won’t be offended!) but they painted it from a photo of us. I have a really funny looking mouth in it, and Kev has so much hair!!! The girls were not impressed by it!!  Two young girls stand indoors, smiling as they admire a painted wedding portrait of a bride and groom. One holds a green balloon-like object, the other a red item. A joyful moment from the weekend in pictures, week 44.

This skip bag was pretty big, but I couldn’t wait to fill it all up. Popped hubby in it to start with….!!

A man stands outside on a driveway smiling, with one hand on his hip and the other on a large, crumpled purple beanbag labelled “beanbag X-LARGE.” It’s a classic weekend in pictures moment from week 44, with houses and parked cars in the background.

Sunday 7th January  

After swimming the girls wanted to go and buy their new TV, they have saved up their Christmas money. Plus side of being a twin, when you are going to share the item your get there quicker when saving!! So we popped into Currys to buy their TV. 

Next day it was the garage, this has been another dumping ground for us. Just chuck it in and deal with it another time……

A cluttered garage filled with baskets, plastic bins, buckets, a bicycle, and garden tools—captured during a weekend in pictures. Sunlight streams through a window and the door at the back, highlighting the collection of household objects.

Gus is recovering from a little lump removal op on his neck, so he needed a calm weekend too. Time for a little groom and get rid of some of the hair that ends up around the corners of my home!

A woman kneels on a rug, brushing a large, fluffy white dog lying calmly with a toy near its paws. Soft lighting and home furnishings set a cosy scene indoors—perfect for capturing the warmth of week 44 in our weekend in pictures.

Anything soft that we put on the floor Gus thinks it’s a new bed for him. Sofia went to do some gym practice on her gym mat……but Gus got in there first!! 

A fluffy cream-coloured dog is lying on a grey cushion on a wooden floor in front of a wooden shelf with drawers and artwork. The relaxed pup faces the camera, capturing a cosy moment from our weekend in pictures for week 44.

Checking out our handy work and how much space we have! 

A person climbs a ladder through an open loft hatch in the ceiling, their upper body disappearing into the loft space—captured as part of our weekend in pictures, week 44.

Who else loves a bit of Angel Delight?! Hubby said this fell into the shopping basket……

A glass bowl filled with pink, creamy dessert containing small white marshmallows, with two metal spoons inside. Captured for Week 44, the bowl rests on a textured, grey fabric background—perfect for a weekend in pictures.

I also post a daily picture, and at the end of the year I put them together into a Photobook.

  1. Soubds like a relaxed and homely weekend. And topped off with Angel delight, I may have to get retro and buy a sachet myself.

    We have been having a good tidy out too. I have sorted out our wardrobe in the bedroom and had a move around and repaint. It feels good to declutter. I had exactly the same Sony tape deck that brought back happy memories, playing music in my bedroom with my mates. And I haven’t had angel delight in forever! Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot

    • Oh I have so many memories of my listening to music in my bedroom with my mates too! Life was much more simple then!!

  4. I have not had angel delight for years! I used to love it when I was a kid, I will have to buy some for my children to try. I so need a big clear out like you had, my utiliy room cupboard and shed are full of stuff we probably don’t need x

    Looks like you guys have had a busy and productive weekend. I have yet to declutter! Our loft in our old house looked exactly like that too. And btw, that painting doesn’t look too bad 🙂

    • It felt like a very good job done having a clear out, garage and loft look so much better now. Thanks for the painting comment, parts of it are lovely!!
