    Just had some gd news, the site we stay on down in Devon, have offered us an extention of 2 nights for free on our next holiday forr being a valued customer.

    (I'm sure it transalte to the caravans empty - we might as get some beer money in!), but don't look a gift horse in the face. xx

    Its a good offer as they've extended the break for Halloween, dd so exicted, as promised her she can get dressed up, missed Halloween at home last few yrs, were always away, so far
    Witches broom - £1 from Poundland, was going to borrow my mothers, but she might need it!
    A hair band, with a little black witches hat - looks fab (poundland)
    Black cape (mine from many yrs ago)
    Pink tights with black witches over them (poundland)

    I promised (moment of madness) that I would sew coloured cobwebs over a black skirt (got to get one)

    + decorate a t-shirt.......haven't planned that yet.

    Finally got my assisgnment done - of sorts,
    3 parts to it, started yesterday, got the easy part done, (part 2)then had brain block for about 4 hrs gave up.

    Started 1pm - took till 6pm to do part 1, then went brain dead, on last bit, meant to be an assesment of 32 weeks work, split into 4 blocks, meant to write a bit about each block, and write about a group piece - did my introduction, did the conclusion, could I get the rest done, could I heck, rang the tutor in an absolute panic, he said why didn't you ring earlier - I don't do failure, I do headless chicks, I do the throw the computer out of the window (nearly), he then says don't worry as your other assisgnments were gd, ur basically get at least 40 with what you've done....don't worry!! After I've added another 40 grey hairs!!

    Its done, its gone, so relax a bit, 2 weeks revision, then an exam, and my next course starts halfway through the revision! Fun and games but will be worth it in the end.

    Apparently if I pass this and the next course, I get a dipolma and have the option of attending a Cap + Gown event.... another incentive to lose weight.

    Am trying to be gd, as promised dd eat healthier, and I owe her that. xx

    Brilliant news Mum - great motivation as well for the cap and gown event

    I've not long finished my ECA for W100 and the relief was immense - I didn't realise how much I had been worrying about it until I sent it! x

    I loved W100, dreading the result, our tutor normally gets the results out in 3 days, apparently the exam results come back 13th Dec.

    Its a gd incentive the cap/gown, in theory 2011 0r 2012... Scary xx

    Lovely early start this morning, 6.30am left for the carbook, 6.32am, were unloading the car, and there was already 4 cars there that were unloaded...

    We made £46 after paying the table, but unfortunately I only got to see £16 as the rest was dds stuff, so she has the money for anything thats her!.

    But we cleared out some things so thats all that matters xx

    Hi mum2one you sound like you are really busy! I would argue for a full refund considering the other kids were nasty to your DD - however I would only invite her real friends in future. I only invite about six kids and then hope some can't come LOL

    I'm going to accept the cheque, but then write again, saying accept it without prejudice, and by then will enclose the Pizza Hut Bill.

    It was her last big party, she wants to go bowling next yr, that will be the minimum (hopefully 6 children!!).
