Keep looking for those positives hun, it's the best way!

I think what you're doing with the reading sounds great, I'd love to have someone come and help in my class but sometimes just getting parents in to pick their kids up on time can be hard!

Well doing for sorting your course stuff out too, sounds like you've got a plan!

Glad you had a nice day on the wii, keep up the smiles and fun together amongst everything else going on!

If I was closer to you, Id come in and read with them, its so rewarding, I've got mixed abilities, and think know most Biff and Chip books, but when you can tell a child to change their book, its like winning the lottery for them. For some of them the only reading they do is at school, its nice to be able to give something back.

I am now offically secetary for the PTA of the school, thou is next step is to become a charity... i'm a goveneror, I've got health + safety committe (so funny - me stuck on crutches), ICT (I know little about computers), and Staff appeals (not looking forward to that one).

---
Plans are slowly coming together, taking the rest of the week out, and then start my ECA for sports want to try and get it done before half term, due 9th June. Then my next course is Oct, - level 2, no exam, new business course, - i've done the 1st two, so it should be a natural progression, - just hoping the court case get sorted by them.

Moneywise - started the ball rolling, spoke to 1 card companies, and said look balancing but not comfortable, as your min payment doesn't cover the interest and your then slapping £24 pm charges, so got to ring back next week with an SOA, and there going to do me a 6 month personal dmp plan, so hoping that once do a SOA (use the CCCS guidelines, for expenditures), and work throu the problem ones. Just feel ready to tackle the bull by the horn. So when like this just have to go for it.
In theory the next 3 months know where I am, but did explain this to the cc company, and they really helpful, makes me a bit suspicious, but as long keep an eye on the ball, and take it day at time, get there.

It can be quite depressing working in matrimonial law as you can often become a bit "what's the point in getting married, everyone gets divorced and fights over possessions, children etc. But I am really lucky in that I have a really great boss, we get on really well and try to keep things light hearted in the office. She is really great at her job and I really look to her as she wants the best for our clients and really cares.

I am not very good at fostering dogs I only started doing it because we had a really horrible experience when one of our dogs died of sudden death at a very young age and our other dog was suddenly left on her own. I was so upset and grief stricken that I couldn't contemplate taking another dog on straight away as it was all too raw and I would be comparing any dog to my baby so we offered to foster. Took my mind off things, I had a few who were pups and most of the time, I couldn't wait to hand them over but we did have one who was about 18 months old and she was with us for about 2.5 months and I cried and cried when she went to her new home. I still miss her now, she was fab but she has such a great home. I am not sure how much more fostering we will do as OH finds it too unsettling with dogs coming and going and he gets attached and doesn't want them to go so we are keeping our eyes open if there is a suitable dog to come and stay permanently. It's not hugely MSE but my house feels too empty with just one dog, don't like it

Ha ha, I must be a sadist as I epillate my own legs. Only because I am quite olive skinned and therefore hairy and the veet would not work, or there would be stubble before bedtime :rotfl:

You do such a wonderful job with the dogs, if there wasn't people like you, dread to think, when we lost Whisky, 2 yrs now, the house was hell on earth, and it knocked my daughter for 6, we looked into adopting a spaniel, but they weren't suitable not the fault of the dogs, just some owners, who didn't want the vet bills etc with older age and passed them to be rehomed. We couldn't put m daughter through losing another dog in 2 yrs time, hense a puppy arrived, who is now a big baby, spolit rotten, a little beehive when he wents to be, and a big soppy sod the rest, he has all twisted round his paw!!
Epilate - that a word that doesn't exist........ (joke this, you can tell why I'm still single, wax strips - don't even go there either!! Your def braver than me. xx

Got to bd about 3am, bailey thought it would be fun to play like a madman - sods law, had a lazy day 2day, DD went to her friends and then to a party, she'd only had the invite b4 we went away, but leftit in her draw at school, so glad have an emergency box of presents......

Fells like round 99!! its the 19th May, - directions hearing where the judge will make his decision based on the reports from me, him and dd, hence why I want the solicotor to pull his finger out re new evidence. feel like a dog with a bit between myteeth, but hoping it will go to character, that his not nice. But were get there (hopefully).
Taking DD to see an abba tribute act tonight, since mamma mia everytime we go in the car it has to be that cd, - even had to get a 2 more, one for dads car, and the other to leave in the house!! x

Had a brilliant night at the tribute act, we were front row seats, DD wasn't 100% sure, she thought it was a musical we were going to see, bless her, we had a blow out on the way home, pizza and icecream, semi mse - one of those offers from perfect pizza, (£15, I put £11 and dad contributed £4 bless him!), still waiting for new debit card after Bailey chewing the last.

Had the afternoon on the wii.. DD was so funny, theres me sat in the chair, shes throwing herself round the room, so glad she'd got the strap on and she was so hyper, the damm control went into the tv, literally swept the front!

Spoke to her grandparents in Ireland, and things moving well there, DD spoke to both of them, only her 2nd time, but were moving forward, and he's offered to write to the solcitior re the none illness!! There coming over before summer, so I'm meeting them first, to iron anything out, and if all goes well then next day take DD to meet them, shes asked to meet them. (She likes them as they give her money!! try explaining it doesn't happen all the time,)

Not much next week, school 2mor, Tues DD got her cafcass interview, and got to get my studying head back on, - but at least when the 2 assisgnments are done, get a break till September, give me a chance to sort out the money front.

Had a nice surprise earlier, looking for a birthday card, and found 3 bags of presents that we hadn't allocated, so that take a chunk off the christmas list. xx
