Mum2one - next chapter - baby steps make big strides

Something positive today, - took DD and 5 of her friends to cinema and then for Pizza, they all loved it, DD was so happy, it was like how things should be, the kids just scoffed, - I have never seen so much icecream being piled into bowls, and choc sauce faces, but dad and i just laughed.

MSE and needed a few bits of groceries so went up to Lidl, - but they hadn't got mincemeat in yet for mince pies!

Think fun week next week, doctors, dentist, nurse for flu jab, then get my rear into gear and start studying again, had the books for a month, they've been sat there still unopened! x

Yay to DD having a good time - and couldn't you make your own mincemeat? (trust me it is a LOT tastier!)

DD had her flu jab today, but as it was her 1st time she has to have it over 2 visits, - we were trying to be mse and the 4 of us go in 1 go, but the nurse couldn't jab a child, but its only 5 mins down the road. dad had his done, same time, so just mum and me left but were in later in week.

Slowly getting the hang of double and triple checking my online banking, I have spreadsheet set up, goes on red till it shows up on statement.

Did well 2ngt paid dad £70 thats helped up my aim to 5k, then just got to pay pet insurance end of mth and then next mths CCCS payment, all looks good.

Gone throu sale leaflet frim catalogue and ordered some bits for DD, but worked on 2 mths clothing allowance, although sure half of it will go back. Then get a few bits for Winter.

I seem to have lost my mo-jo for getting into OU - the course started this week and haven't looked at the books, but this week just seems to be a pain of a week, so going to set a couple fo days next week to get my head down, shouldn't take long to catch up and at least only doing 1 course, and its an easier course.

The dentist next week - at least managed 3 mths without stalking him!! xx

Got my rear into gear and did a weeks worth of OU work today in 2hrs - suppose to take 14hrs!

meeting at school it was the annual AGM for the PTA - ready to tell them to stick it up the rear as the chair was the woman who caused all the trouble for dad, while she has mysteriously decided to resign from her position. (Out goes the flags), so am now secetary again of the PTA. (I must be mad!!)
