  • Hi MissH.

    I'm in for a HHC at 10am. Have sorted the washing up this morning already so can now make a clean start on doing the kitchen properly without washing up getting in the way!

    Will try and get as much done as possible in the kitchen but might have to put washing out as well in the half hour.

    Have spoken to one of the mums at school, she is doing an NVQ L2 in teaching assisstant and is going to get me the number and hopefully I will be able to do the same course(it is on a Monday so won't affect my welsh classes, but will mean I won't be able to go to work on that day), then next year I will be (fully) qualified to work in a school(I have a BTEC, but they now need to be topped up with NVQ)....excited about that.......

    Right quick cuppa then make a move xx

    Great weekend. Neighbours came round - DH got drunk (very, very rare, but very funny). Was slurring words then declared that I needed to lose 6lbs in weight - I'm 5ft 4ins and 8st 4lbs :mad: - he was actually alluding to when we bought our great niece a dressing up nurses outfit and you can guess the comment he made - to which I replied 'when hell freezes over or I'm under 8st' - seems like he's planning to starve me!!! Neighbours were in hysterics laughing - they had to help carry him to bed - his black eyes are healing nicely :rotfl:

    Hugs to those who are poorly or feeling down. Welcome to any newbies.
