This week's posts are about how we're spending our half terms, but hopefully you can get some ideas from it too - and share your own in the comments. We'll be updating our days throughout the week, so make sure to keep checking back!
(We now have a Twitter and Tumblr - links are to the side too.)

We've come to the final part of our Half Term Day by Day series! It's been fun and interesting to see what we've been doing over the past few days. If you've enjoyed it let us know in the comments and we might do it again some day!Here is how we spent our last official day of Half Term:
Alison: So last day, Friday, and I am writing this in a car on my way to Heathrow Airport. I'm going to send this to Sabrina to post and add her part, but obviously, as has happened all week - I'll tell you a bit about my day.
This morning, I got to have a lie in as we couldn't really go far, what with Gran having to catch her plane back to Scotland (hence why I'm on my way to Heathrow Airport) So, when I eventually woke up, I ended up playing Pokemon on the computer with my brothers for way too long. But when I did finally get up and ready, my family and I went out for a bite to eat.
We went to a little pub in our village, and I had a cheddar and onion marmalade sandwich, with chips and salad. Not only was the food really nice (and each of my family said the same for their meals), but the pub itself was really cute in my opinion. It could maybe do with some refurbishment, but it had a nice, almost homely feel to it - with a little fireplace, chalkboard quotes and paintings.
Local pubs are so often like this, so if you live in a nice area, with a nice pub maybe give a pub lunch a go.

Sabrina: Lately, I've been getting fed up with myself for not being productive. I don't just mean during the holidays, but just throughout my life in general. Like, today I literally spent the entire afternoon lounging about in front of the TV watching Friends episodes, with the impending doom of my responsibilities looming in my mind. So, at about 7:15pm, I finally managed to get my butt in gear and do some revision. I spent just under an hour doing it, but it's a lot better than what I've been doing for the past week.
Whilst I was doing this, I was thinking about how I need to be more healthier and productive in my life, so I decided to come up with a list of small things that I can easily change in my day-to-day life that would make me happier overall:
• Eat some fruit/vegetables at least once a day
• Revise for at least 30 minutes a day
• Do some squats
• Buy/care for a plant
• Tidy up bedroom
• Sort out the annoying clothes pile twice a week
• Wake up earlier than 10am
• Go to sleep earlier than 11pm
• Drink at least 1 bottle of water a day
• Send a nice message to someone everyday
• Wash hair every 2 days
• Wear different clothes everyday
• Wash pajamas every couple of days
• Moisturise face everyday
• Put on body lotion every time I have a shower
• Put on lip balm twice a day
• Have a bath instead of shower once a month
• Take lots of pictures
• Have a notebook and pen wherever I go
• Start a scrapbook
• Wear cute socks often
• Light/buy candles often
• Listen to music everyday
• Take a break from the Internet for an hour a day
Obviously, this list is quite long, but I feel that if I can complete at least 5 of these things everyday, then I will feel a lot happier with myself. Some of these may or may not apply to you, but if you have any ideas that could be added to this list, then let me know in the comments!
Sadly, this concludes our last daily-post routine. We hope that you guys have enjoyed looking into our lives more often than usual, and please let us know what your favourite part was!
