Grateful for Time Out

It's not often I get out, well without kids anyway.

I'm sure I've mentioned before we do not have family locally to share the love, so we rely a lot on some very good friends, who help us out.  But as you can imagine we don't like to abuse that friendship, and keep childminding to a minimum / necessity.

Luckily for me I recently won a giveaway at diminishing lucy.

I won a double pass to see The Help and the book too.  The best part about this is even though I rarely get to the cinema I had said to my husband that I really wanted to see this movie.



So you can imagine my delight when I received an email from Lucy advising me I was a winner.

Best news ever!

So I asked a good friend from my mothers group who I just knew would love this movie.  

We had a lovely night out, without anyone hanging off our sides, demanding our assistance, it was bliss.

A night out with a good friend, seeing a good movie, this is what I am grateful for this week.

I'm linking up with Jody from Lemon Rhodes who is guest hosting Maxabella's grateful linkup.

What are you grateful for?

Cheers
