I would love to learn Welsh. I love the language and it would be pretty useful for me to do it. How you going about it?

I'm just doing it online with the bbc welsh challenge, and i got a book from the library - its really hard!

Again sorry for big delay in posting, not cause I am not doing much, I just don't seem to get a minute to myself!

I have made another op of £1000, and I have more money from tutoring to overpay.. I will make a trip to the bank next week. Annoyingly my local branch has closed and I have to go into the city to pay money in. Still, i'd rather it was decreasing my interest on my mortgage so I must go into the city.

I am pretty busy with tutoring and looking after the baby - I now do two clients per day normally - this is great for building up op's!
I have also managed to get marking for the summer, but nothing for January yet - but my boss filled in a reference for me so I may get some yet.

I have ordered a new sim - the orange £110 quidco cashback deal, so I will come in drastically underbudget for mobile phone spends - down to just £10 per year.It will also save me spending money using the landline, so I treated us to the £2 chocolate offer too! yum!

Today Im going to do some welsh,then tidy and manure the garden, so earthlet gets some fresh air.
btw he is enormous now - 3 months old yesterday!

Good to hear from you hun

Wow - you have been busy!

I wish I could speak better Welsh so may look at the website you are using, it is a very difficult language though. I think that must be why Welsh speakers add in a few english words to their sentences!

Well done on the tutoring, can't be easy with a 3 month old.

I saw the Orange offer too and DH contract ends in about 7 weeks and he was considering PAYG. I hadn't realised you could qualify for the cashback on Sim only so thank you for that.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Everything going really well here got loads of jobs done over the weekend, not so much today as i've got 2 1/2 hours of tutition to do.
Tomorrow plan to sort out stores and do a top up shop.

Well I managed another op after paying in my tutoring money, so now only £9,300 to find! Wow!
I am starting to get a bit carried awway - even looking at where to buy my mortgage free champagne from!
I musn't loose focus, especially with
-electricity usage
-spending on frivolous items. I haven't actually done this, but feel I am on the edge of a splurge!

My focus this weekend and next week is the business and learning welsh.

Wish me luck!

Ooh - haven't checked in for ages - but lo and behold a chat about learning Welsh - which is my first language
Let me know if you need any help. We do use a lot of English words in between the Welsh, lol! For me it's usually because the Welsh version is longwinded and multi-syllabic and, if relating to something modern and technological, it just feels a bit contrived.

Right back to work!

ah sparkly, I am Welsh but not Welsh speaking (only know bits learned from school) and now I finally know why you hear Welsh and English together - thank you
