    HI all :D

    All is good here - just been getting on with things really, but I MUST stay true and come on here more as spending on little bits is getting out of control lol!
    I was so tired last night I passed out with the kids at 7 and didn't wake up til 8.30 thi s morning - fully dressed!! Not good that I'm that tired, but hopefully I'll get out of my dazed state soon and be productive today lol.

    I hope you are all feeling good :) xxxxx

    Hi :)

    Taxi - you're more than welcome to knock and come in for a cuppa any time - just don't always expect me to be out of my dressing gown lol!! :D

    Had a lovely day with friend from school - went to her's in Preston and then took our kids out (she has 2 kids too). Was nice. However, it ended up being rather expensive, as instead of soft play, which was full, we went bowling, and I nearly passed out at the prices!!! I have just received £45 from Quidco today, abd was going to pay it off the bcard, but might just use it towards today and also for some petrol!!

    School is ok - I'm only spending time with people who I trust and like, and spending short time with anyone else!!! I know the kids like me, and although i'm not super teacher, I think I do things in a slightly different way that the students get something out of.

    The children are well, doing very well, but our routine is a little out of whack at the moment, but that'll come with time I'm sure.

    I'm off to Rome for a school trip in 2 weeks - terrified that something will go wrong, but I *think* it'll be ok!!! I'm the trip leader - with 31 year 11s....must be insane!!

    Hope you are all having a nice evening.

    I am going to try to get things done this evening - so much to do! Washing piles everywhere.

    Sea xxxxx
