We have had a lot of screen time this week. #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:


Stu went back to work after his week off on Saturday and since then the girls who are still off school for the Easter holidays and I haven't really done much which hasn't involved a screen of some sort.....

We have been outside to the park and shopping, we've baked and done some crafts but we have had more screen time than is probably good for us but who cares...It's the holidays. hehehe

We have played a lot of the Sims 4. The girls racing to get pregnant and see how many babies they can have. The little hussies....lol

We have watched a lot of YouTube....The girls are all up to date with all the Minecraft videos....They were a little shocked to hear their hero Stampy say the F word on a video....I thought it was hilarious. I thought he was so squeaky clean.

They are also still enjoying playing on the Wii and the old Playstation. I can hear them playing Singstar now. One of those singing games....They get their singing voice from me and it's not good....lol

The girls have of course played Minecraft and even had Stu playing on his day off from work yesterday....

We have all been staying up later than usual and watching TV. Stu and I also seemed to have watched more TV than usual this week....Wrestlemania and of course we watched the finale of the Walking Dead. What an ending. Neegan makes the The Governor look like a really nice guy....hehehe

I have also been enjoying watching Neighbours this week....The late night episode had me sobbing. That death was utterly heartbreaking....Then later in the week I was crying again when an old favourite died.....Hollyoaks has been amazing too. So much so I have been watching it as normal on E4 then again on CH4....hehehe

We have had a nice week. Nothing much to write about but it has been good for us just relaxing and enjoying the break from school....The girls are back to school on Tuesday. They are looking forward to seeing their friends again and I think we are ready to get back into a routine....

  1. Hi Kim, an overload of screen time once in a while is no bad thing, before you know it the children will be back at school and the better weather will be there.

    We are a bit behind you on Hollyoaks, but luckily you gave nothing away (FridayNight is our Hollyoaks night).

    It sounds as if you've had a proper laid back Easter holiday, but I bet it will be good to get back in the swig of things.

  6. I echo you on the screen time. Last week we were very active but this week there've been lots of PJ days and yes too much TV, tablets, laptops and phones. He's watching you tube on the phone right now. But we were going to go cinema this afternoon till I checked my bank balance. But then that's just an even bigger screen LOL. Anyway Daddy has rescued me so looks like we may go tomorrow. xx

  8. I don't blame you, It's nice to make the most of the holidays. Who do you think it was at the end of walking dead? I've got an idea, but don't want to spoil it if anybody is still catching up.

    I don't know what we are going to watch once better call saul finishes either lol.
    Have a lovely weekend Kim xx

  9. Ah screen time is a great way to relax. We may also be addicted to screens in this household as my daughter will try to get hold of the remote to turn the tv on these days and press the keyboard buttons on the laptop. #wotw

  12. I have to confess we've had a fair amount of screen time here too - but it's not a bad thing once in a while and not as if they're in front of a screen all the time! Singstar and the Sims 4 sound like fun. Glad to hear that you've had a lovely Easter break :-)

  13. Oh I'm so glad to read this, I thought it was just me! I was beating myself up as my three have pretty much spent every day on screens since we returned from our holiday. Sometimes it's just a needs must situation. i always feel guilty though. Not sure why!
