Sorry its been so long

Well what a time we have been having here lol I have had the most awful ( in a fun way if that's possible) week at work as our new intake have started and when you start 100 3yr olds at nursery for the first time you know your gonna have fun lol even though we do stagger the intake, you forget just how far on the children who left us in July have come.
I have a wonderful group of children who are just fantastic and make me laugh, cry and feel so proud.
Neesa is getting on at college with her NVQ in Beauty Therapy and has informed us in a couple of weeks she needs her first volunteer for one of the treatments a half leg wax !!!!!! My sis has kindly volunteered lol well i promised i would have miles if she did it and we kind of organised it so she cant get out of it hahah Thanks Pam though seriously Nessa is appreciative of your offer.
Sam appears to be doing ok at school he is in year 9 so busy busy year for him with sats and his options he is getting on with his homework now and seems more settled at school (poor love he has a lot to put up with) had a little accident yesterday in Metal work where he nearly sawed his finger off lol.
Rebekah is loving year 4 at the moment and I am so pleased it makes me want to cry she got Head teachers award for her class on Friday ( this is chosen by each class teacher) and she was so proud she has also had stickers in the last week for good behaviour, making her teacher smile because of her good work and for mental maths she seems to be really enjoying herself and I cant help but smile while i type this bit about her.
This weekend is busy busy busy I am off soon to a workshop with a few girls from

how time flies

Well have been back at work for nearly 2 weeks now and i just don't know where the time has gone. Its all back to normal here well our kind of normal anyways. I am back at work, Neesa has started her beauty therapy course at college Sam has gone into year 9 and Rebekah has started in year 4.
Cubs has started back so my Wednesdays are back to the hectic times they where before the summer holidays but that could all change as Rebekah may be joining Cubs and leaving Brownies. Its a decision we have all had to discuss as its not as easy as it may first seem.
My Dear friend who I have done cubs with for many years and is also Rebekah's God mother has been diagnosed with Cancer and starts her Chemotherapy in the next couple of weeks, this means we are a leader down and if Rebekah is at Brownies then I cant be in two places at the one time and so really need her to be with me at cubs for convenience more than anything and I didn't want her giving up brownies and just attending cubs with me with out the chance of being able to achieve some awards.
Ramble over with now off to look at a cd of pictures from my friend at work who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro (sp) during the summer with her husband.

Sad News today

Had some really bad news today so dont really feel up to blogging much

Myself and my sister Pam received a phone call early this morning to relay some really upsetting news. Our Aunt and Uncle retired to Devon a few years ago and always for as long as I can remember went to the Scilly Isles for their summer holiday. Yesterday they went out on a boat with a friend and the boat capsized, they had to be pulled from the sea, my uncle and his friend the owner of the boat survived, but my Aunty sadly didnt make it and drowned. I just can't believe it. My Uncle is absolutely devasted and so are all the family. Please think of him in your prayers.

Bad Blogger

Really sorry not been a good blogger at all over these holidays i think its the thing of the kids being off and we go out more or they are on the pc more lol.

Anyway a quick up to date for you lol

Been back to work in the summer club for a week and a half which was good we had a visit from zoo lab who brought with them rabbits,gerbils,spiders,scorpions,stick insects,tree frog,corn snake,giant millipede,giant African snails and hissing cockroaches the kids loved it have some photos and will have to spend a whole day on here adding them for you to see.

Neesa got her GCSE Results 1 D 8 C'S and 2 B'S and is off to enrol at college on Tuesday to do NVQ Beauty Therapy.
Went to a birthday BBQ last night which was very good but not good for the diet as I have gone back to WW and had far too much wine and food last night but too late now.

Think that's about it will try and be a better blogger not that I think many people actually read this but hey I can dream lol
