Reasons to be Cheerful Week 23

There are so many reasons Michelle is cheerful this week but these are mine:
1) New look
I was bored of my hair colour and I finally made it to the hair dressers after months of being too busy. So now I am cropped and coloured:

  Something about a new hair do that makes you feel really good! Plus all the compliments I'm getting on how much healthier I look too.
2) Fun with friends
We had a free trip to Chill Factore in Manchester. It was great to be able to take my children and 7 of their friends to have fun in the snow. I also had a chance to chat to some mums I don't often have time to meet.

3) Tree Top Trek
My daughter and I had fun on our prize winning go on the new climbing wall at Tree Top Trek. Have to admit I am totally useless at climbing (and boy did I ache for days) unlike my daughter:

However I loved the 250 m zip wire from the top of the tower! We photographed each other once we got back down:

4) Fun in the sun
I can't believe its still sunny and I am sure it won't last but boy does it make me smile to be able to spend time outside. Whether its running and cycling or just chilling with a book outside whilst my children play its just so much better with sunshine and blue skies. Here is just a taste of what I've enjoyed:
