I am trying to decide between French, which would be a level 1 or Creative Writing which is a level 2.

I have already completed a few lit and lang courses at levels 1 & 2:)

I looked at the languages ones once and they looked great. When we went to Mexico, the lad in charge of the childrens entertainment was amazing. He could speak fluent Spanish, English, French, German and Dutch and could just flick between languages depending on who he was speaking to. It fascinated me.

He was a lovely lad. He came and sat with us for a drink a few evenings once the childrens entertainment had finished, and we used to have long chats about the social and cultural differences of growing up in Mexico and in England. It was really interesting and I enjoyed chatting to him.

*hugs* to all who feel down today xx

Aunts and Uncles - never been very close to any of mine. My Mam has a brother and my Dad has a brother and a sister. Mam's brother and Dad's Sister send me a Christmas card each year but that's the only contact I have with them.

My Dad's brother had no contact at all with me. He used to still send a Christmas card addressed to my parents with mine and my brothers name on, even though we had moved out and had families of our own. When he died, I'd hadn't known Craig long and he'd booked a day off work in half term, so we could take the boys out for the day for a bonding type thing. My Uncle died suddenly and the funeral was scheduled for the same day as our planned day out. As my Uncle had no contact with me, I still went on the day out as I thought the bairns bonding with Craig was far more important to me than going to the funeral of someone who couldn't even be bothered to send me a Christmas card. Caused some family friction, but I've got no regrets about it.

It's a beautiful day here. Just taken the dogs for a walk and it's really warm and sunny. Love it :cool:

Just having lunch and off to uni soon.

Well I didn't see one, but I assume the arm attached to the saw was also his so he was whole and working

I want my sling! Bought it last Saturday and still not turned up. I blame Easter. Grrr.

Just got back from the high street...phew, should not have worn a jacket! Really warm, sunny and gorrrrgeous. Think we'll sit out in the garden once he gets up from his nap .

Mel hopefully he'll come around once he cools down and realises that both he & his mom are being unreasonable. MFD, blondes have all the fun!

Mel, I hope he realises that he's being unreasonable - I think men can be so weird about people criticising their mums. My ex and I split up in part because his mother was a female dog from the lowest pits of hell and he couldn't understand why we didn't get on. This after I suggested he make a lot of noise going upstairs, then sneak back down and listen at the door to what she was saying to me when she thought he couldn't hear her. He heard and still persisted in thinking she was lovely and wonderful. I still hope she dies horribly (and alone) when her time comes.

Elliot was soooo cute last night, we fed him at 9pm then he was wide awake till half 11 lol, but we were laying on our bed with him, and when I was tickling his cheek he was smiling away at me, it was lush lol

He had a good night, he wanted a little bit more milk at 11, I think he had 2oz

Then he woke at 2am, then at 5am then didnt get up till 9.30am, OH fed him at 5am and he said that E didnt really wake up he kinda drank the milk in his sleep, is that what is known as dream feeding?

Well we got a letter from parcelforce today, OH has had to pay £50 customs charges for his parcel, so god knows what that tracker thing was on about, there isnt anyway they have tried to deliver it if there is customs charges to pay, so ive paid them and its coming on tuesday (I personally think £50 is a joke on something you cant actually buy in the uk!!!)

So looks like if I get the Hanson cd package I want, that I am looking at £50 custom charges as well (if they catch me)

Sat out in the garden with the dog for a while, thanks for all the huggles, they help:) We are obviously not speaking now, as we have just been ignoring each other....haha fine by me, there's nothing I want less than to have to speak to him atm!!!

Kai is just finishing off his lunch then I think we will go back into the garden, he can go in his walker on the patio....I can't wait till he is running about properly, don't really want him crawling round the grass because it is a bit of a mess and all uneven and weedy...there is also the chance of a hidden dog poo that I may have missed...

I really want to hire a rotary thing and turn it all over, level it all off and remove all the bricks and weeds and then lay some nice fresh turf!! Not sure if we will ever get round to doing it?

Becles I am really fascinated by languages too, although if I do the creative writing, I will only have 2 x level 3's to complete my degree. Well I actually only have the levels 3's needed, but having had some time off I wouldn't feel confident jumping straight back in there, so was thinking of the level 2 to ease me back in...especially with the young'un!! If I follow the languages path it will be many more years till I complete my degreee, not that I am in a hurry but would like to do it before retirement;)

nice to see you posting pinknico how are you and yours?

Hubby was supposed to be taking both boys out this afternoon so I could have some me time but Benjamin was falling asleep on his highchair tray so he has stayed with me. He is asleep but I wont relax the same with him here. Oh well!

kindof - as someone who gets stuff from the USA sometimes, you can kindly request that the person shipping it mark the item as a "gift" on the customs declaration. This should avoid any charges. But you didn't hear this from me . And of course the item inside will actually be a gift, right? *coughcough*
