Half term madness

Been a week or so since i last blogged as I really seem to struggle to find the time at the moment but as its half term i have a couple of minutes to myself.( I don't suppose too many read this but for the people who do (thanks for your comments) i better try and keep it updated lol )

Neesa and Sam have gone to their mums for a couple of days and Rebekah has gone to explorer scouts with her dad. I feel he wanted me to go with them but I managed to get out of it lol.

So what have we been up to ?

We went on our scouting centenary camp and arrived Friday night in the sunshine but oh how cold it got in the night and doesn't it get light early ? well that was the excuse that our cubs made when they were up at 4.30am fully dressed waiting for breakfast. That wouldn't of been too bad but the scouts didn't stop chatting till 4.00am and tents don't have good walls do they lol . We had a fantastic opening ceremony where i did see Tracey's son but then when i went to point him out to my sis they all merged into one in their uniforms. Loads of activities Loads of food Loads of laughs loads of oohs and ahhs at the firework display but not a lot of sleep. We came home Monday afternoon just before the hail and rain hit and all tents were dry thank goodness

So really now we are just recovering and wow is it taking some time.

What have we been upto

Well at the moment things are looking ok re Rebekah and the others etc, but we had a bit of scary news Saturday morning Tom who is Nessa's boyfriend Nessa being my step daughter was rushed into the hospital with a suspected blood clot on his lung he is only 16 and had his appendix out about 4 weeks ago, he has now had a scan and have started treatment to dissolve it so she is a little worried at the moment as she has not seen him yet as he was not allowed visitors yesterday so she will go today.
I have just finished a first aid course yesterday it was over 12 hours so the last two Saturdays that's what I have been up to.
Rebekah went on her first ever sleepover last weekend and although she cried at bedtime she stayed but we had to go and pick her up at 7.30am as she wanted to come home little babe, ( I cried when i dropped her off I am such a wuss when it comes to Rebekah lol)
Last night we went to the Mexican with my mother in law and Steve's brother and wife they are up from Dorchester for the weekend.It was really nice and we had a good time.

Forgot to add my TSV came from QVC and I love it !!! might even use some of it ( that would be a surprise lol )

May May May

Gosh into May already and I haven't even gotten round to Blogging so whats been going on. Well our house is full of pre gcse nerves as Nessa prepares for her exams and I am warned it will probably get a lot more tense before June and the final exam. We have had another meeting in school about Rebekah and it seems fingers crossed touch wood that we are on the right track to getting things back to normal.

Bank Holiday weekend news not a lot to say really but I have managed to persuade hubby that we should go visit the Lowry Shopping outlet at Salford where I know there is a paper mill shop lol so I will report back later with any news lol. Oh ........................... and yes I just had to order the TSV on QVC today to cheer me up hahaha

Enjoy your Bank Holiday what ever your doing
