my day to day

so it has been a couple of weeks since i wrote a post  .... so now my routine has changed again ......i have had to start budgeting and menu planning so this has changed the way i do things a little

i still get up at 6 and then after breakfast and bedrooms tidyed and 5the 2 year old dressed and feed it`s time to take the kids to school so by 8:15 i`m back i sit and have a cuppa and when thats finished i will get into the cleaning .... masha`allah by 10/ 10:30 i will be finished and when my hubby is here i will make some lunch unless i have something left over form the night before then i will heat that up and maybe make some small and light to go with it ... now on some days i will have to go back to the school to pick up the kids around 12 but most days it`s 4 .... so if i dont need to pick them up until four then i will feed those who need their lunch and after this clean up and start to prepare the dinner for the evening ... some time i will cook it through and other day i will half cook it and this depends on what is being cooked 

by four i will pick up the kids and once where home it`s straight into homework and studying and like this i will give dinner early and by 9pm all will be in bed and a sleep ...so were fresh to start all over again for the next day

    My goodness your day is so similar to mine in that it is all go go go. My studies have completely curtailed any sort of social life, even a coffee in town takes me away from valuable study time. I enjoyed reading your day to day activities, exhausting as they sound, as I am able to picture life in Algeria a bit better.

    By the way, can you please send me some sun? We haven't seen the sun on the west coast of Ireland for well over a week. Hard to picture that the day it didn't stop raining here in Cork, Dublin was having a heat wave & everyone was at the seaside! God Bless X

    I hope your rain isn't too bad down there? After all it could never be worse than Irish non-stop rain....could it?

    I have decided to begin blogging again, though I have made a few changes. Just so that you know Dolly/Joanna are one and the same hahaha
    God Bless

    Forgot to say I hope you and your loved ones have a good Eid. I know it is imminent for you and can imagine you are very busy getting ready.

    For me, it is All Saints Day and a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics to attend Mass. Then tonight I fly home to London for a few days (it is midterm break). Can't wait to see everyone.

    God Bless

French Laof

Asalam wa alikum So as you know i`m not really one for baking ... but when a good recipe comes my way i must tell you about it I have had this recipe for a while and never got around to trying it so as i was making my muffin bread i thought let me try this one ... Its a french loaf and so simple and easy 2 cups of water (warm) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp of yeast instant 2 tbsp of salt ... i felt it was a bit too much so i reduced it to 1 2 tbsp of oil (veg) 5 cups of flour mix well and knead dough then allow to rise punch back the dough then place on a tray allow to rise again and place in a hot oven it takes about 20 mins or so and masha`allah what a lovely bread we toasted it and had butter and jam for breakfeast enjoy and let me know how it works out
